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

[Anden]

Yes indeed @blekit - it is a SuSu. The urge to have it hit me like a thunderstruck when i first laid eyes upon it. It doesn´t get much love around here, but i love it.


Cheers, @Anden .


@Anden - a freaking awesome look, depite the jeans. I wouldn´t wear jeans with a tie (seems incongruent to me), so i would have ditched them in favor of grey flannels. Still: a killer look.

Thanks Dennis. I wear flannels most of my days and this jacket quite a lot with charcoal wollen flannels so I agree to what you propose but I felt like trying this for the challenge. I usually don´t wear a tie with denim.

Well, there is an obvious lesson to be learned here, isn't it?

Get more Italian suits.

Haha!
Thank you. I will at some point

I think the suit is great. The shirt goes well with it. I dislike that tie with that ensemble. The tie check is too close in scale to the suit check. And pairing bold light colored ties with a bold light-colored suit is very difficult. Solid dark brown wool tie would be a lot easier, and would cool off that suit.

I think most importantly your fits give off an unpleasant slovenliness. Perhaps it is the heavy wrinkling of your jacket and trousers which is worsened by the poor fit of the jacket. A well pressed jacket and sharply creased trousers would improve your overall appearance dramatically.

This is precisely right. I was wondering what phrase might correctly describe it but this is on the mark. It just looks, sloppy.

First attempt and photos are terrible (taken indoors). I just started working on this, and I am fully aware that the pants are ill fitting, too full cut, while uncomfortable the same time. I do like them because they are fuller rise, so I am having this and another pair altered. I also think the jacket fits me well, but in retrospect I would have preferred a lower button stance. Here it is:





SC: Southwick
Shirt: S&M
Tie: AD56 Milano
Pants: LE flannel
Shoes: AE BB Park Ave's

@ComfortablyDumb I really dig this. Actually, I've really liked everything you've posted the past few weeks.

 

[Caustic Man]

@doomx actually I think the trousers look ok. They might need to be shortened a bit in order to get the fully SF approved "no break" look, but I've seen much worse form first time posters. Not a bad all around fit either but you are right, your pics are terrible. Keep posting.

@ComfortablyDumb upper half is not bad, those trousers need to go, however.

Excellent way to make a first post! I do not think the button stance is wrong at all, and I do appreciate the fuller cut trousers, actually! Excellent starting grounds!

Flannel.












Sorry about the hip pocket.

Cheers! I feel like I definitely know what I like at this point but I still have a lot to learn.

Oh man! I love these trousers, haha. They're fun without being too bold. I totally understand them not being to everyone's tastes, however.

 

[Caustic Man]

They look like suit trousers.

 

[Claghorn]

@doomx

Don't shorten those. They are a good length

Quite a decent fit, ruined by the photography. Burn that wide-angle lens with fire (or save it for landscape shots), and get a fast 50mm prime lens. Your world will change for the better.

This cannot be stressed enough. Applies to a number of people, not just Koala.
