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

[EliodA]

Oh my, I love your suit. Well proportioned and balanced.

I see the "Italian" shirt cuff sprezz.

Thanks, man! Yeah, not so subtle, is it?

@EliodA
I don't know who makes your suits but you look bawse!

Attolini MTM

Needs moar black shooz, Elio.

LOL, I know! But I just don't like black shoes. I own exactly one pair of black dress shoes, which I only wear for funerals. Fortunately, they still look brand new...

@DonCologne , I see what you did there!

Nice pose, nice fit.

Am I the only one feeling that Noodles' grey suit isn't a good fit for him? I feel that the jacket doesn't drape well in the chest area. It creates a convex shape around the chest, which is easily seen by inspecting the stripes around and above the top button down to the center button. It almost looks like he's wearing a bra under the the jacket, no?

Inspired by the recently revived Italian conservative business dress thread.
Tie creates a weird moiré effect* in the photo, but actually looks like in the closeup.



* Any photographers here who have tips how to avoid this?

It's why you have the AA filter in the camera but repeating small patterns and high res sensors + lens will cause moire.

 

[Anden]

Downsizing for web might also increase this effect.

Elio: I think the moire is due to the weave of the tie. In the close-up, you can see that the "direction" of the squares between the dots alternates. I'm not sure there's much to be done about it.

DonC: The collar is better, but I think a spread collar (with longer points to tuck under the lapels) would be more flattering for you than this cutaway.

I think the lines would be fixed with a bit of waist suppression, but it's an entirely different cut of suit. It's just the effect of it not having a draped chest.

I'm not sure waist suppression would fix it. I believe the convexity is due to the structured build/canvas in the chest area (aka non-draped chest?).

That convex shape in the chest and the fuller sleeves, 3D look, is exactly what the doctor ordered by getting him buffed up overnight and reducing his hips. Suppressing the waist will make the whole look off. IMO of course

Brown shoes there are perfect. I was just pulling your proverbial chain.

Today, wore this and it was dry at last!

Spoiler: Warning: The Tie

Close up of a @Henry Carter tie, excellent in every way

Thanks man, you piqued my interest some time back

 

[corrid]

I dont know how you all take such nice "selfies". I feel awkward asking a coworker to photograph my outfit so I can post it online

 

[Monkeyface]

It's time to break out the wool/cashmere ties!
