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

[Chris-Wearings]

Love the collar. Where is the shirt from?

Granqvist store

Are you interested in feedback on your outfit?

Definitely interested in feedback - I'm a total novice. Especially the colours as I know I'm not wearing it correctly nor have I tied the tie correctly. It was just for my wife to see originally but thought I'd be interested in anyone's opinion

Nice look. It may be an optical illusion, but the tip of your tie appears uneven. Do my eyes deceive?

It's a seven fold tie, so it wasn't exactly flat.

Not the best photo, but I was excited to get my Loro Piana coat back from the tailor while there's still a little winter left.

Thanks for playing. What do you think of the shoes?

Today was the first day. I wore them in to get heel taps put on, and then I walked back across town (Lex to 8th along 40th/Bryant Park).

I think that loafer sizing is much more exacting and less forgiving than oxfords or bluchers. With that said, these are pretty good. My right side felt great. My left foot is a bit raw by the heel and my big toe. I can comment on the complete break-in period once I wear them a bit more.

But they're nice to look at and the leather seems to be nice quality.

Going to the office:
Trench BARACUTA G10 Waxed
Chelsea Boots Carlos Santos
Jeans PT05
Shirt Belvest by FINAMORE Napoli
Tie : ULTURALE Napoli
Luxury Briefcase Johnny Manglani View attachment 1348258

Nice. Did you wax the g10 yourself ? Isn't it like 50% cotton, so wouldn't waxing not really do anything or help?

If I win this Friday challenge, I may do the next one on the full Windsor knot. I really need someone to convince me that it can look good. I can tolerate it some fits, but it almost always looks bad to me. Personal preference of course.

Thank you, @An Acute Style
And thank Whitcomb & Shaftesbury

Mine was a half, designed to show off a wider cross section of that tie than a fih would. But Reddit already gave me **** over that, they don't believe in tie knots other than the fih.

Hang in there! Half windsor is where it's at. FIH is for lazy bums

Horrible light, even horribler photos.

I’m not an expert in jeans. These look nice, but are definitely not “dress” jeans to me. What makes these dressy?

The fit makes them dressy for me. Higher (pants like) rise, straight and slightly tapered cut.

Today.

I agree full windsor almost always looks bad.
But just as bad IMO is the ridiculous double FIH done in a way which exposes the double roll. I’ve never seen this anywhere other than on SF and to me it’s and indicator of sheep mentality - doing something without question that looks crap but is done just coz everyone else is doing it.
Likewise the side by side blades or the longer back blade.
It baffles me why so many grown men who appear to be concerned about their appearance struggle to manage a task that most boys of my generation learned, with a bit of help from their dads or big brothers, when we were in the infants school.

I regret that I have but one 'like' to give to this post.
