HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[16simon]

Thanks to Styleforum members for inspiration, here's my first WAYWRN:

Boateng Mainline Suit
Shirt by unnamed Jermyn Street Tailor (thrift store find - labels cut out)
Charles Tyrwhitt Tie
Rapha silk handkerchief used as pocket square
Braun Buffel briefcase

Plus, to liven up the monochrome look, Roberto Durville shoes:

Probably more so that both their jackets have unpadded shoulders, and a human's shoulders aren't shaped like the models straight out of GQ will have you believe.

Is this an excuse for lumpy shoulders on a $4k custom/bespoke jacket?

Preposterous. The shoulders on both their jackets are immaculate.

Hey! My legs are long enough for both my feet to reach the floor!

Srsly, I'm 5'9" and apparently shrinking as life continues so I'll probably fit into a 5' coffin when that day comes.

Thanks, Navi. Here's the real color of the slacks.

Now extrapolate that color onto the s.c. using the pic below and if anyone is still reading at this point, they'll realize that everything is a LOT brighter than the camera phone pics indicate.

All of that previous post aside, I am on the hunt for Spoo-approved blue slax. Picked up a coupla pairs in navy yesterday but nothing in a lighter hue. I remain optimistic.
