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

[FlyingMonkey]

@Crat that is fantastic! Deets on the tie please?

Ha - I was just thinking what a great suit and beautifully shined shoes, but a shame about the awful tie... looks like the kind of fabric that works much better as PS IMHO. Hermes, @Crat ? In any case, not my cup of tie.

For today, I will illustrate the dangers of the Internet - more specifically, Facebook. Below is a photo taken October 1, 2009, which was thrown back at me on FB courtesy of Throw Back Thursdays. As I am hitting a landmark birthday soon (next Monday will mark 60 years of earthly existence), I thought that the measure of change over the last six years would be interesting. I'm wearing the same suit and hat, but different glasses, shirt, tie and shoes. Perhaps an improvement, but I will leave that to the viewer to decide.

Suit - BBGF
Shirt - BB MTM
Tie - BB
PS - Robert Talbott
Cufflinks - Turnbull & Asser
Shoes - Magnanni for Bergdorf Goodman

Scruffy Crusty looks like he is up to no good, or at least being a bit mischievous.

Agreed. It's clear I need some navy birdseye in my life.

Crusty is always up to no good - Scruffy Crusty was just more open about it.

Not sure if this should go here or in the casual WAYWRN, but here it is.

Rainy day at an art fair this weekend. Still found some excellent pieces to take home! This is a new Washington jacket from SuSu, I'm quite impressed with the fit and the fabric, no alterations.

Señor Crust, your former self wins this comparo on the strength of the outdoor setting which shows off the suit to much better effect. Your present self prevails in the facial hair category, though.

The facial fur was attractive enough, back in the day when it was naturally brown, but it got to the point, at the end, to need dyeing on a very regular basis, so I opted to look younger by being clean-shaven.

FWIW, I think you should shorten the sleeves as well as your trousers a bit.
Also not a fan of the light brown shoes here, tbh.
Deets on the tie, please?

I do agree with your points

Viola Milano "Orange Floral"

@venividivicibj - no square or lapel flower? How very unSF. Lovely tie btw

In a rush to leave the house - forgot the square.

White sport socks?

a classic with penny loafers (see James Dean, Gene Kelly, Andy Warhol, Micheal Jackson, etc..)

I like your facial hair, crysty - but the suit is better fitted now (or maybe just better pressed).

Thanks. The suit, six years ago, was a little tight - today it is not. It is also fresh out of dry cleaning hibernation today as well, so that may affect your view. I do agree with SB that the picture from six years ago, the color of the suit is more accurate to real life in that photo.
