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

Nice combo. I see the edges are starting to fray on the shirt. Well done. I rather like the frays on my oxfords.

Cheers. This one will soon be retired from “proper” wear, but a well worn, airy linen will still have plenty of use for beach trips/whenever vacations are realistic options. Nothing like some fraying to mitigate concerns about putting a shirt through its paces.

Opt for the sweater. That tie looks very out of place with that sport coat.

Yeah, I agree. It's too light for sure.

AAS, I believe that a solid blue shirt would have been a better choice for this attempt at four-pattern bingo, though I am in lust for that tattersall waistcoat.

When I was in elementary school, I remember the title of one of the books which were used to teach us reading - "If I Were Going". My attire for today is a variant on that - "If I Were Going Outside", as it's currently -5C, with a wind chill factor making it feel as if it were -14C. The jury is still out on whether I face the great outdoors today or not, but, if I do, it will be with style.

Suit - Brooks Brothers MTM (Southwick)
Shirt - Tyrwhitt
Tie - Brooks Brothers
Cufflinks - Penhaligon's
Braces - Paul Stuart
Pocket square - Ashear (I would say "vintage", as it's about 40 years old, but, as I was the original purchaser when new, I am unsure if such a designation applies - perhaps, just "old", like its owner.)
Boots - Cheaney, via Harrods
Overcoat - Brooks Brothers
Scarf - Fortnum & Mason
Hat - Seifter Associates
Face mask - New & Lingwood

Love that Brooks Polo coat!

Pretending it's overcoat weather.

How many overcoats do you need to commission a bright red overcoat? Asking for a friend

Technically, it's Burnt Orange! Are you asking how many overcoats do I have? Anyway, this coat was not commissioned, I bought it RTW from New & Lingwood a couple of years ago. I hope that answers your friend's question. If not, let me know.

Whatever it is it's...um...basically amazing. My friends all agree! haha
Cheers!

Wearing my favorite sport coat, this green Abraham Moon tweed from Spier & Mackay. I think a green sport coat may be almost as versatile as navy.

Five patterns today. Paisley square, Blackwatch jacket, regimental tie, fair isle vest, herringbone pants. I had a striped shirt, but went with the solid blue. The vest and pants may be too close in color. I like the top block a lot.

What's the group think on pairing different textures? Say worsted blazer with flannel trousers.

New & Lingwood likes to go out on a limb on occasion - your burnt orange overcoat being a prime example of this. You wear it well. Phineas Cole was offering a casentino cloth coat in a similar shade this past season, along with a deep vivid green, and a deep yellow. If my local Stuart's had the green one on hand in my size, I might have taken the plunge - as it was, I took the plunge on another suit. Like Pavlov's dog, they rang the sale bell, I salivated . . .
