Today I took a stroll in the woods and sat on a rock in forum.net/content/type/61/id/1475265/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 500px; height: 341px">

@Cotton Dockers , is that an odd jacket?

 

[Anden]

I can't understand the comment on your tie. It is a great tie. Disregard it and don't give him attention.

Great, I'll be sure to drop this unlined seven-fold that has tons of visual interest off at the thrift store because you don't like it. 

I think I've shown that I appreciate and attempt to respond to criticism, but what's with the "douchebag-chic" tone of certain people in this thread?  I can take the heat, believe me, and I've learned a great deal from a number of direct, forthright critics here about fit and coherence.  I do not, however, think that your legitimate questioning of my choices (why I chose a neat print over a textured grenadine) requires you to suggest that my tie is trash or that I wore this combination because I have no other options.  Among regular posters at least, the best dressed people here--upr_crust, Claghorn, Stichy, EFV, Anden, EliodA, Cleav, et al--do not stoop to this level.  I wonder if there's a correlation?

I agree. The tie and PS look fine.

By the way, Anden, what catalogue were your photos for?

Whatever it is, I'm buying!

Lol. Don't worry about it. You know who to listen to on here

Yes? To be honest, it was thrifted so I don't know for sure. I like to think that because of the windowpane (as subtle as it is), the ticket pocket and its makeup (100% cashmere), it was made as an odd jacket rather than as part of a now orphaned suit (not that a suit couldn't have those attributes ).

I do wish the pattern was a little more aggressive, but whatever it originally was it is an odd jacket for me.

Back to the classroom today...oh, joy!

Yeah. It looks good, but I'm in the same boat as you.

Today. Black watch and herringbone.

^^^ I go away for awhile and you start wearing pants that actually touch the tops of your shoes...LOL

Kidding, but this is a nice fit. Well done!

 

[mrjester]

Those pants do fit spot on. And those cuffs. I love 'em!

You right. I try to listen to the advice I've been given here.

Keep the tie, I would just never wear it, which I even stated was my opinion, which is up to you in how you interpret. I don't personally like the tie, but seriously more power to you if you make it work in your fits.

I'm sorry I don't have 10s of thousands of posts of good fits on this forum, but that it doesn't change the fact that, in my opinion, (take with a grain of salt if you feel that it's too personal) the entire fit looked good, but the perspective makes it look flat without some texture.

I just want everyone to know that I just accidently cut a chunk out of new tie from Drake's as I was opening the package.

You mean Drakes sent you a tie that was cut?

Let's just say that was the case... >_>

You are making that coat really shine, I love it.
