HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[TheFoo]



What I'm trying to get you to acknowledge is the role of your expectations in this. When you fold a hank, you want to see crispness, sharpness, rigor. But another person's expectations may be different, or they may embrace the very properties you find abhorrent.

Of course my expectations play a role. The question is how well-informed you think my expectations are versus others'.

Not all silk lacks body. The Rubinacci-esque silks do look terrible folded to me. But many of the Vanda kimono silks have a lot of body and stiffness and actually wear well as a fold IMHO.

UC, cufflinks are Sweet! details?

 

[Sand]

That is one excellent combo!

:foo:, as often, is right. Annoying, yes, but right. I'm an expert at that myself.

I was thinking the same thing. And that was also the example that came to mind.

As you indirectly acknowledge, there is no platonic ideal fold/puff (thus your assertion that there are no rules of which you're aware), so there's really no information behind your expectations other than your preferences.

^Why'd you decide on a blue instead of a white shirt?

Rob, is it the flash which makes the shoes look cherry red, or is that true to life?

Cantabrigian - fantastic tie. deets?

^Why'd you decide on a blue instead of a white shirt?

that has to be the first time someone said that around here as far as i can remember.

It seemed too washed out with a white shirt since the tie is fairly light.

IRL the shirt is more greyish blue and less powder blue so that helps. I messed with the saturation and contrast a bit but couldn't get the shirt color to quite the right shade in the photo.
