More camel and single patterns. The cardigan returns as the temps have dropped. Olive moleskin pants below.

Today I was interviewed for a Master thesis, on the history of the shape and construction of the suit, and it's changes in recent decades. This is something I've delved into quite extensively on my own. Hence I felt rather comfortable answering questions about (my perception of) change in gorge height, lapel width, shoulder expressions, etc, between th 90s and present day.

Is this interview something that you'll be able to share at some point?

I don't think it will be published as is, they're gonna use it together with some other interviews to make deductions about the changes the suit has gone through since the birth of the lounge suit. It was quite an ambitious project and they (especially the guy) seemed genuinely passionate about classic menswear. I think the thesis will probably be publicly available, as most such texts are in Sweden.

@EFV, now that is the type of academia I can get on board with.

The bow is really nice, but I think a bigger one would have been better

I will respectfully disagree with you here. The bow tie is about as wide as my eyes which I feel looks best on me. I feel bigger bow ties can look a bit clownish. I find many members here wear bow ties that I personally find disproportionately large. One man's opinion

 

[Caustic Man]

Bowtie is correct size. Perhaps slightly too large, even.

I'd be interested if you know of a source where such things are published in Sweden. Might come in handy for a project I'm considering.

Brooks Brothers' Cambridge fit is interesting. Close-fitting like the Milano but has a hooked center vent and 3x2 roll. Their "Saxxon" fabric is a bit of an advertising gimmick but still quite nice. Never seen it in anything but this medium-gray charcoal.

Suit; Brooks Brothers 1818
Tie: Bigi
Shirt: Finamore

Above, I was just liking AAS' outfit - I like the bow as is. Very nice, like the shades of camel with burgundy.

Potentially the last opportunity to wear this suit this year.

Why would you say that? Don't jinx us, dammit!

Well said, Roy. Ditto.

It's an intentional jinx! I'm calling for three years of rain.

It will most liekly be posted on http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/search.jsf?dswid=-2738 when it's done.
