[DerekS]



Pants?

WHO NEEDS PANTS!!!!


nice combo derk, hope the home life gets back to normal.

thansk man! and yes. who needs pants?

ps Derek, I feel your pain. I'm so happy those days are loooong behind me. Hang in there, you'll make it.

its been a breeze until this weekend. wowza she's been FUSSY.

Derk has a fussy baby, a sick wife, and a profound lack of sleep, and you're worried whether or not he's wearing pants? What sort of philistine are you, anyway?

In all seriousness, pants are dove grey.

The kind that has done that twice - the second time with a rambunctious five year old. This parent game is tough and you've got to play to win from the beginning. No slack for t3h n00bz.

+1...and it's a young person's game, this coming from a not-young person playing said game...2:30am wake up call from 3 yr old today!

Jacket, pants, and shoes work. That shirt is not meant for a tie (the width of the stripes being too close to the width of a tie).

Disagree; that shirt can - and should - be worn with a tie IMO, but only with an otherwise ultra-sharp, business look. It would be a very English sort of look, necessitating, say, a navy suit (perhaps even a pin- or chalkstripe), black shoes and a similar tie one he's already wearing. White linen square or something like a navy polka dot if going for silk. I do agree that it looks out of place with the tie in the more casual outfit. But I would not like it open-collar either. Smart, City-ish sort of look is the way to go with it I think!



For example, if you were to use his shirt/tie combo in my outfit today, I think it would work pretty nicely:

I hate them all, because they never fit just right in all areas.

They look good to me.

I like the "Faded Glory" jeans from Wal-Mart.


BTW- the jacket is awesome!

yes.I forgot the tie photo today. But was a dark brown waffle-y thing on a light blue shirt. Boots need a good brushing.

@ Holdfast. Harvie & Hudson are, if for nothing else, known for their bold stripe shirts, and I picked the tie together with mr Harive sr. to go with that shirt. But as you say, it is supposed to be worn with a sharp british suit, and not a casual outfit as I had today.
H&H used to be my favorite shirtmaker, and this design particularly - and I have quite a few in blue, pink, red and yellow.
Still I understand those here who dislike the shirt; it is rather loud and can attract to much attention. That's the reason why I can only wear it on days that I can take that kind of looks...

A rare post from me. I´ve been more into sportswear than menswear these last months as I am running a marathon on sunday. If things go as hoped I might treat myself to one of Suitsupplys FW suits...

hell of a time picking a shirt for this. ended up with this because i liked the texture. not sure the color blue is quuuuuuuite ideal tho.

i think i am happy with it.

Spoiler: ehrmagerh! clers erps!!!

IS - I think that's a miss on the shirt. Tie is good with the jacket, though I'm not a huge fan of the tie.

Re the shirt: Too many solids and blue is too saturated.

I would have opted for a striped shirt. ie. Blue/White University stripe OCBD

Stichie, nice SC. I really like the texture and it looks good with those gray trousers. Deets of the SC please. Double vented?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

All your ties would look better if you properly tied the knot. Below this notch this is clean. From the notch to your neck it is a mess. Tighten it up; single dimple.

not a bad idea. thanks. dont have one in OCBD, but have a stripe that is non BD that would do the trick i think.

I rather like it, though it does fall outside of the general aesthetic here (which really seems like a sort of ameritalian these days, but I could be wrong). I had a similar thought to HF, but this was mostly from watching Kingdom, Party Animals, and other British shows, so it seemed best to keep my mouth shut.
