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

[The Noodles]

It's going to take a while for me to recover from the sight of this. Did you actually pay money for that jacket?

Boston can be a charming small city, and October is a good month to visit, meteorologically, if nothing else. As it happens, I grew up outside of Salem, so I am quite familiar with both places. Enjoy your visit.

Thanks - and I agree with your earlier post about faces BTW, although perhaps the downside of keeping the face visible is an over-concentration on things like age or looks as opposed to the clothes. I do have a feeling that if I actually looked more how most men of my age in North America look, the perception of how I dress would be somewhat different... although there are many other reasons to be happy about looking young.

Hi!

Nice.

 

[Betelgeuse]

Nice.

Thank you!

My k-photographer quit on me so I am trying to figure out the best way to manage...

 

[Cleav]

I'll not post this on the thread better on PM, you forgot to 'white out' the caller display on your phone doodles, just so you know...

Got yer!

Noodles, it is remarkable and satisfying to see the difference a more comfortable and classic suit, and a decent pair of shoes, have made to you. Do you feel like twice the man? You look it.

One niggle: SF orthodoxy aside, I'd go for a bigger and/or more symmetrical knot with that wide spread collar. It's totally the right collar for you, but makes that oh-so-nonchalant 4IH look a bit meagre. Also, personally I tend to go with a patterned tie against a solid suit and vice versa - something I have to say I decided after seeing my own pics on SF and realising all solids is dull. Your striped shirt and the tie's texture make this fine, though I think a neat would be even better.

Anyway, this was supposed to be a complimentary post: Noodles, you're looking good.

P.S. Put your face back on, we've seen it before and we're not scared.

Sander, that's wonderful

I think basic-ally very good Sander

Arigato.

Looks like fairly nice weather today/ not ungodly hot for meetings Monday

Sartorio navy pinstripe suit
Cipa white shirt
Attolini gray, navy, white tie
Bontoni brown shoes
TF gray frame glasses

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Very nice. Normally, I don't like striped ties on striped suits, but this somehow works.

@Sander
 that is a really nice combo! I love the high-collared herringone (?) shirt couple with that tie! Plus, the pocket square gives a nice color pop! 

Wonderfully restrained. I really like this.

Thanks, it really is appreciated.

Pochette by Pucci?

No; tbh, I'm kind of a one-brand-guy when it comes to accessories.

It's white pants day!

Nice fit, but the shoes seem a bit too formal to me for the rest.

In the pink (shirt):

And the tie knot to match!

Sander, this is just superb. I love the strength of that collar. Your easy poses and ready smile all add to an excellent look.

Definitely open to suggestions! Ideas? You definitely caught me on the stubble, I need a shave but it's fun to wear a suit or tux without shaving

Normally, I don't comment on things like this since it's hard to judge what fits a person one has never met; but I think it is undisputed, that longer hair with a more classic cut, maybe a side-part (doesn't have to be very rigid) would suit your sartorial style better.

Thanks a lot. I have a long way to go to improve myself but I certain do appreciate your compliment and feedback. A neat on this shirt would have been a no-brainer but I just wanted to try something different, albeit it is a bit boring and on the safe side. I do not think that I have ever put my face up on here...

I went to Boston/Salem this weekend. I got this jacket from Bobby from Boston while I was there. I'm not sure about the pocket square. I tried a solid white, but wasn't feeling it. I kept everything else simple given given the boldness of the jacket.

Bobby's is great! Did you go on sunday? You would have loved SoWa!

 

[Cotton Dockers]

Love this! Your last fit was somewhat conservative business dress on the top but you had khakis or dockers and it was like I wish he would just ditch the dockers...then I see this.

Thanks, Noodles! Looking pretty good yourself there. Also, for the record, I don't actually wear cotton dockers.

Must have been the Noodles thread. Either way.

And try a Pratt/Shelby or HW.

You know, I had been on board with a lot of your feedback comments as of late, but this one is simply asinine and useless. You were doing a really good job not being a jerk for a while. Try sticking with that.

If that was a joke, and it went over my head, I apologize.

For the record, I'm a few months shy of 59, which, given the demographic around here, makes me older than average by a large degree. As for posting/not posting face shots, that is a very personal issue - I respect those who choose to do so, and equally those who choose not to do so. Personally, I think that showing fit pics without a head is a loss of context, but that's just me - other opinions may differ, and with the myriad number of places one's image can find itself on the Internet, caution in this matter is not without reason.

I'm 66 on August 4. I agree about loss of context, which was really what prompted my query. I do appreciate the intelligent response.

I think Noodles' look is fantastic, navy and green is one of my favourite combinations. I disagree completely about the tie knot - I think it is perfect. There is a perception that a big windsor knot is necessary because of the spread, which is wrong in my opinion. Windsor knots should never be worn at any time - four in hand, half windsor or Pratt are always better.
As for solids, this outfit lacks for nothing because there isn't a pattern in there.
It's odd, people used to be scared of wearing polka dot ties and check jackets, now they worry about an all solid outfit.
