Hi Roy, I'd very much like to see, for sake of comparison, how this fit looks with the PS arranged in a puff. Though perhaps it's a not a fabric conducive to arranging as a puff, either generally, or in that particular jacket's pocket. If so, please ignore my comments. Otherwise, I think a puff could be the way to go.

Like the tie & cufflink matching!

Knot’s fine, but you may want to consider upping your raincoat game.

Yeah, I'm in the midst of my research. I think blue single-breast but I don't really know where to start.

Dinky raincoats can be charming in their own way.

But that one doesn't look particularly waterproof if I'm being honest. More like a windbreaker.

In that case, it may serve you better with more casual pieces -- think corduroy and a jacket without a tie.

Tie and shirt look great though. That's one slubby tie!

Today's burgundy/brown/navy layering!

It's good up to about 15 minutes. I wouldn't wear it without an umbrella.

But yes, I do need a proper trench. I don't know where to look.

Wasn't able to take full shots yesterday so top block only. My sincerest apologies.

Also, is this the "Kushner Collar" now?

I know I’ll probably get hammered for this but...I needed one, bought a single breasted Perry Ellis, zip out liner, $30 on Amazon. It is proper enough for me.

That looks fine, except the color doesn't excite me. How's the waterproofing?
I have a red burberry that I bought on a whim and can never wear because, well, it's bright red, but the waterproofing is fantastic. Maybe I'll just get a more traditionally-shaded Burberry.

Many thanks! Colors and patterns on your fit today look good. Details like jacket length and/or button stance and your collar shape might be improved somewhere down the line but from what I can see I like it.

Edit: That's not a solid blue shirt, is it? I take back my like! Hard to make out the pattern on it so it might not be good with a tie but it almost certainly shouldn't be worn with a gunclub jacket where the pattern is of a similar scale. I stand by the colors being good though

Love the Belgravia! Interesting sock choice too.
