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

I'm a sucker for donegal....

I really dislike this cloth. The plaid is sort of middle-brow luxury department store brand and combined with a completely mismatched smooth finish. Big plaid requires big nap. This looks almost like it was printed. Blegh.

I suggest a trip to visit your opthamologist - the fabric is flannel with a very healthy amount of nap to it. Otherwise, duly noted, don't care.

I kind of hate/love that tie. Definitely not feeling it with this jacket despite the clearly different scales of the patterns. I think the tie could work with the jacket if the tie were a different color.

This is Really Nice, but the "Square" looks Summer-ish -IMHO

I have one in the same pattern that is blue and yellow. I don't think that would have been better though, I don't like blue ties with this jacket.

Is it the tone of red? The pattern? Or both

The ground of the tie and windowpane in the jacket both appear to be burgundy. The elements on the tie appear orange and teal. I don’t think orange and teal go well with burgundy. Plus the tie has a neat pattern, but also a plaid sub pattern. I like it artistically, but not as a tie. It’s too busy.

Keeping things seasonal, a Christmas Tree and me in the South Patio of the place I still call Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal.

Brooks Brothers jacket, sweater vest, and tie, L L Bean blue and white University Stripe OCBD shirt and cord trousers, Burberry Nova Plaid pocket square, and Allen-Edmonds suede shoes.

For fans of "Piece-Of-A-Person" pictures, a piece of a person with tea and vanilla macarons picture.

(Extra points to anyone who can identify the location. Hint: It is an international chain and there is at least one very obvious clue.)

Extra Added Attraction:

In the stately homes of England, the tallest and best looking male servants served as footmen and amongst their duties stood at the sides of doors. Walked past the Ralph Lauren store on Rodeo Drive earlier today and as part of Ralph Lauren's 50th Anniversary Ralph Lauren is emulating the stately homes of England.

(Yes, asked them about yesterday when it was pouring down rain and they said yesterday they stood inside the front doors, rather than outside the front doors.)

Extra Added Attraction Part Deux (for @An Acute Style):

Although photography is not encouraged in Ralph Lauren stores managed to take this picture when no one was looking.

From what I wore yester-evening.

Nicely done. What’s the occasion?

Only nit is the sleeve length; looks a tad long and as if the tailor has already tried to shorten the inside length to correct, leaving a slanted hem.

@EFV @mafoofan

Attending a formal reception yesterday.

Regarding sleeve length, my tailor it appears, likes to err on the side of a tad too long than a tad too short. But if you look at some other pics, the white linen shows through at the cuffs depending on how I’m standing.

I have two sets of bespoke shirts with slightly varying sleeve lengths so I’m able to resolve this by carefully picking which shirt I wear with what suit/coat.

**** you. Fake news.

Did you sack off doing your blog?
The link in your posts no longer works. Last time I looked was during the ‘chambray-gate’ controversy!

Way too much going on here. A tie should not be worn with that shirt. It’s too casual. A knit tie at best could work. I dislike the tie. I looks like a video game or sperm navigating their way through the Fallopian tube. I like the jacket, but you need a more reserved shirt and tie.

Disagree slightly with AAS, I like the tie fine and the outfit would have worked well with a plain blue shirt.

Thank you for your opinions.

I understand that a plain shirt would be better.

I like the tie, but I see what you mean there AAS lol.

That tie is a hard no.

I know. My father in law just gave it to me as a gift and we were staying by him.

I didn't really have a choice. I may try it again with a navy suit, or I may find a nice corner in my sock drawer for it. Woven gold.
