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

[upr_crust]

Thursday, so far a brilliantly sunny day here in NYC, though today's attire is a bit dowdy - a suit I bought in the wake of the death of my first husband, nearly eight years ago. At the time, the suit fit snugly, and I thought it to be quite the purchase, but now it fits more loosely, and it has been eclipsed by other purchases made since. One learns from the passage of time . . .

The camera also has a new lens - clearer shots, so far, when the auto focus works correctly, though less wide-angle. An ongoing experiment . . .

Love the top half. I wish the pants were lighter. Too much contrast IMO.

 

[Leanderthal]

Thanks man! Pants are a little lighter than true navy IRL. Bad contrast in the lighting. But I agree, lighter would have worked better.

Very 90s tie, but I don't care.

I REALLY like the jacket, and REALLY dislike everything else.

From the Congressional Record:

NATIONAL SEERSUCKER DAY
(Senate - May 01, 2017)


Mr. CASSIDY. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize the seersucker manufacturers and enthusiasts across the United States. The storied history of this uniquely American fashion dates back to 1909 when Joseph Haspel designed the first seersucker suit at his Broad Street facility in New Orleans. Louisiana is proud to have played an important part in introducing the country to seersucker apparel.

During the hot summer months, Americans across the country have worn and enjoyed this lightweight cotton fabric, known for its signature pucker. Mr. Haspel said it best, ``hot is hot, no matter what you do for a living.'' In the 1990s, Members of this Chamber established Seersucker Day to honor this unique American fashion. I proudly resumed this tradition in 2014 in the U.S. House of Representatives by designating Wednesday, June 11, as National Seersucker Day. I have continued this tradition in the U.S. Senate and wish to designate Thursday, June 8, as the fourth annual National Seersucker Day. I encourage everyone to wear seersucker on this day to commemorate this iconic American clothing.

Yet another formal Friday. I am in a particularly good mood, so I've decided to give another go to my Homburg

Spoiler: Details

* homburg from Polkap
* suit by Krupa & Rzeszutko
* Tyrwhitt
* tie from Embassy of Elegance
* ps from Poszetka
* Yanko shoes

Orange tie was something I was wondering about for quite some time. Few posts from last couple of weeks reassured me, that it's going to be a good addition to my wardrobe. Hence, maiden voyage for my newest tie. It's 7-fold printed Macclesfield silk handmade by Polish manufacture Embassy of Elegance and I really, really like it.
