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

Kind of you to say. I’ll pass your words on to the photographer.

Tell him/her that the composition also demonstrated a nice example of the Rule of Thirds and leading lines. Well done all the way around—an Esquire or GQ-worthy submission, if either of those publications hadn't lost its mind by mostly featuring clothes that no rational person would be caught dead in.

Spot on with this.
It’s absolutely laughable to see them both haplessly floundering around in a desperate search to try and find out exactly what their readership demographic is supposed to be.

I think there is a Youtube channel where you can actually watch this happening.

Crappy iPhone pics from the past week or so

Awesome combos! Very trad/preppy. My only nitpick is that your tie looks too long in the first pic.

It was a chilly day today in Ohio, so I had to go back to flannels and tweed. Can't complain though.

Thank you very much! Yes, tie in the first pic is too long--a fact that I apparently, despite knowing better, chose to ignore at the time.
I'll call it "sprez" after the fact haha

Nice tie knot.

From my last day of jury duty. I enjoyed the boots and belt with an otherwise formal suit. You?

 

[corpseposeur]

Spring park walk with some recent acquisitions. Vintage Burberry trench that I found in NOS condition--it's very long and very generously fitting. Banana Republic merino sweater. Epaulet MTM moleskin trousers. Alden monkstraps that are still being broken in. Navy wool GI watch cap. Bombas socks.

 

[Encore]

All linen!

 

[Betelgeuse]

Hola!

Morning. Red tie, tartan jacket, white bucks.

Hello to a fellow Ohioan, and some unsolicited feedback:

You would benefit from a longer jacket, as well as a lower buttoning position. The longer coat would help bring better balance and the lower buttoning point would help create a bit more shape and show taper from the chest to waist. At present, the shape is a little linear from top to bottom.

This jacket is certainly serviceable and you pair it well. My feedback is largely focused on things to think about for the future.

Yeah, I'm not sure why this jacket appears short, because I've measured and it's exactly the same length as all my others—long enough to fully cover the seat. For instance, this navy one is the same length (and identical measurements and cut), but appears longer somehow. So I'm not sure what it is about the green one... Anyhow, I appreciate the feedback. I'll keep this in mind especially next time I have a suit made. For something smarter (rather than the more casual Neopolitan jacket), I agree that I'd want a bit more length.

Cheers to a prosperous week, gentlemen.
