[Pliny]

Legendary StC. That collar is bangin. Did I ask u b4- what loafers ?

I love those suedes. re: the saturation - the SC appears to be mustard on my screen. Do I need a new one?

Only u could pull off that fit with those black bad boys down low.

Only the most ancient thirsts on our shoulders.

Yeah well this horse ain't drinking. Props on the suit tho.

 

[Pliny]

Back to suits, while the humidity (if not the heat) is lower. The Friday Challenge is the "loud tie worn well" challenge - to wear a loud tie tastefully. Today's tie is purple, and it's Charvet, which qualifies it for loud, certainly - tasteful, I leave to the discretion of the viewer.

Suit - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Shirt - BB MTM
Tie - Charvet
Cufflinks - Simon Carter, via Fortnum & Mason, London
Braces - Paul Stuart
Shoes - Bergdorf Goodman house brand

[BespokeKiwi]

This is where I'm at. I am the CEO of my company* and can wear whatever I like and **** you.

*However, as my company has precisely one employee, I am also the tea lady.

@Coxsackie I'm in a similar situation to you over the ditch here in Auckland, "Nuu Zeal-lund" (sic). Where I deliberately try to keep my small business lean to avoid all the employee related "compliance" (resistance is futile, you will be assimilated) hassles and costs. Like you, I can wear whatever I want.

Presently, I'm working hard to raise my sartorial game -- after more than two decades in the ICT industry's geek inspired (no disrespect intended to technically inclined brethren, of course) sartorial wilderness.

P.S. I originate from the South Island, so your recent skiing missive had me pinning for Treble Cone, which is one of my favourite ski fields down under too. I will have to do something about it next ski season.

 

[Coxsackie]

Cool BK. Let's hit Treble Cone together next year in our DB chalkstripes, à la Luca Rubinacci...



...on second thoughts, let's not.

 

[Tried and True]

Luca is trying so hard to build an image of hip and cool.

 

[Coxsackie]

To be fair, maybe this was driven by Rubinacci's advertising agency.

It is a very striking image. The fact that he's a young, shiny-bald man advertising clothes also makes for a refreshing change from what's usually seen.

We're also starting to see male clothes models in their sixties and even older. It would be great to see a campaign based around fat men. An expert bespoke tailoring house could really strut their stuff this way. "This guy is clearly a difficult shape, and yet we made him look cool."

 

[Anden]

Back but not really. Still very casual. One new item bought during the summer. The polo suede Belgraves.

 

[in stitches]

Oh hai, Anden!

Soooooo, not loving the loud ties today.


Pliny, yeah, not loving that tie either, particularly with that suit.

 

[GMMcL]

Today.

I think I need to quilt waywrn this week with all these loud ties that are blinding my squinty eyes.

 

[clarinetplayer]

Hopefully, there will be a book written entitled “Tigers of ‘14”. Just dreaming...

 

[in stitches]

G, I think those are the same pants I was unthrilled with before, no? There is no true full pic there, but from what I see, they look better in these pics.
