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

Today. Didn't liked the full shot a lot but here it is:

Spoiler: Close-ups

This is a great color combo. The pocket square blends perfectly. The purple socks seem a bit out of place. I think the full shot looks great. Do you mind me asking what don’t you like about it?

Well done for asking all my questions for me!!

Thanks! Well I haven't found a good spot in the new place so I get a lot of light in my right side and no light in the left, so I lose a lot of details in the pic.

That is a reasonable quibble. Why not stand with your back to the wall on your left? Based on the light coming from your right, it should illuminate most of your outfit. Also, shadows are cool.

Will try to do that. Thanks!

Picked up this three piece vintage corduroy suit for a few bucks (waistcoat not pictured). A few alterations needed but fits pretty well.

The pants look great. Excellent rise. I’d be curious to see the hem. I imagine one can get much use out of a corduroy odd vest. I own two that I like. The lapels on that jacket are just bananas. Apeshit bananas. Not in a good way. Maybe a professional clown, a used car salesman, or an actor on That 70’s Show could pull this jacket off. Not many else. YMMV.

C’mon, 5” lapels aren’t thaaat bad.

Is it possible for a tailor to narrow them?

The suit is great otherwise.

 

[sebastian mcfox]

It’s possible, but is it desirable..?

Back home visiting my parents in West Orange, NJ included a day trip to a childhood favourite: Seaside Heights. Definitely not as fun as an adult (especially post MTV's Jersey Shore, Hurricane Sandy and a fire that happened pre-re-Grand Opening that completely annihilated the pier along with childhood memories).

That’s so sad to hear. I spent quite a few summers having a blast at SH.

They’re monstrous.

@sebastian mcfox that suit is jarring against other 'tasteful' MC items you're wearing, a turtleneck or some other knitwear would work.

House sitting at my parents place. They live right next to this awesome nature reserve.
