HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

[FlyingMonkey]

Fall has definitely come to Ontario. One of my now more occasional bad photos of beautiful clothes...



Details: CatD bepsoke Holland & Sherry tweed, Kamakura OCBD, Conrad Wu shantung tie, J-Crew wool vest, Post-Imperial cream cotton square (with green dots). Unseen: Epaulet moss green trousers, mahogany G&G brogues.

Absolutely love that jacket cloth, FM, and wish I could see how it pairs with the trousers. I certainly sympathize with the photographic limitations, though!

Very nice @FlyingMonkey !

Yesterday. All caught up. I wish the tie was darker. Black watch vest.

^ New watch AAS?

Newish. I got it this year. I received it in exchange for writing a post about it on my blog. It's a Jord wood watch which I think goes nicely with my country aesthetic.

Last few pages have been awesome, gents. Hooray for fall.

My end-of-the-week contribution, with the much reviled walnut strands and a pink/red/brown combo up top to add to the discussion on those colors.

@Victor: really nice, almost thumbed.

I thumbed anyway. Victor, I hereby request, on behalf of the styleforum community for whom I have no authority to speak, that you remove your no thumbs rule so that thumbs may be plentifully bestowed upon you when the community hereto-forth deems it warranted. That kind of language is legally binding. So do it.

@jcmeyer , like it all but the shoes. It is not that they are ugly shoes - hence my befuddlement at the revilement - it is that i can't get behind the (i)talian practice of Navy suit and light-brown/tan shoes. Really like the tie

 

[PCK1]

and i'll be a little less polite and say that i think the shoes are ugly and i would toss them.

Yeah, I was going to mention the navy + walnut thing. I agree there but it was the tie/shoe color connection that I thought might save it. I like the tie a lot too and think it pairs well with the pale pink shirt. Thanks!

I may eventually sell them. Let me know how much you're willing to pay.

For what it is worth, I like the shoes.

Trousers on the navy suit would look better with a clean 5 centimeter cuff also...

Thanks! Although it appears you're from Florida, so I'm not sure if I can trust you

I looked it up - 5cm is 2" - and that's way too big for me since I'm a towering 5'5"

I tend to go 1.5" or 1.75" at max, but even then it gets to be a bit much. I dont have any suits with cuffs, only odd trous. Not sure which way I'll go with the next suit.
