Depends on the Quaker. I was raised Hicksite. So about as socially liberal as possible. When my sister was given "the talk," it was "when a man and a woman, or a man and a man, or a woman and a woman, love each other very much." When I was 10 or 11 I read a book on AIDS and told my dad that I had decided to wait until marriage to ********. He told me that was stupid and my mom chimed in in agreement, suggesting my opinion would change quite rapidly when I got a girlfriend.

So basically they were regular parents. Not that I'm knocking it. Growing up in a very religious family can often hitch people with pretty heavy baggage, so good on them for not.

Managed to get away with a sport coat today. No significant meetings. Unlined linen blend for a warm, humid day. Pants are Oxxford in medium charcoal.

Sport Coat; Zegna
Shirt: Zegna
Tie: Petronius

My wife was busy at first so I asked Cinders to help with photo. She could not be bothered to move from sunbeam.



Sunlight shot was a bit bright.

. Awesome collar. Deets on the tie.

Cheers! It's from a Finnish brand called Herrainpukimo. I believe this tie is cashmere, handmade somewhere in Italy. I think @Jussi Hakkinen or @Tuukka can probably tell you more about it

Scrolling down the page, there was a moment when this was all that was visible:



I realize now it's a hand, but the mental scars remain.

You perv!

 

[An Acute Style]

Don't look too close.

Grey suit, crisp white shirt and navy grenadine are a safe choice.
I'm not in a casual friday mood at work yet.

Casual Friday has taken hold in Paris?

Thanks for the thumbs on Wednesday, folks. In retrospect, todays fit wasn't the best choice. I should have gone with a more medium or dark gray trouser and I would have preferred a green or maroon tie instead. Live and learn! Angle makes sleeves look long, apologies.

Spring is here finally, great time for a walk around town

Spoiler

* jacket and waistcoat from Suitsupply
* tie and pocketsquare by Poszetka Handcrafted
* OCBD shirt by Miler Menswear
* Yanko balmoral oxfords

And feedback is highly appreciated.

I really don't see how my last response could annoy or offend anyone. I am happy to learn what you guys think about my outfits, even (or perhaps especially) when you're critical, but occasionally I'm going to have different opinions. I think that, as long as it is constructive and polite, there is always room for discussion - especially when it comes to area that is largely matter of personal tastes.

 

[pravda]

I really like your style blekit. For this fit the tie doesn't work for me. And a spread collar shirt over bd any day.

Don't look too close.

It really is amazing how such a minute difference in the size of each "tooth" could result in such a significantly different color/tone of grey from a distance. Not the most groundbreaking of statements, I appreciate....

Red tie and red pocket square don't work...its too matchy.

and the waistcoat definitely doesn't work with anything.

 

[hindi ako]

@blekit Do you mind if I ask what size you buy in your suitsupply and in what fit? Is it Havanna? I ask because you appear to be a similar build to myself. Thank you.

Yeah, tie and PS didn't work out together. In retrospect I think I should have gone with plain white linen PS and a solid grenadine tie - brown or navy. Could you follow up on the waistcoat though? I think it should work well with navy jacket like this one (and solid shirt & toned down, casual tie), but wasn't sure about how it'll look with grey trousers. I'm planning to give it a go with olive or khaki chinos next, to get more "'summery" and casual vibe.
