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

Kent Wang unstructured seersucker suit
Kent Wang linen/cotton shirt
Kent Wang geranium that I just planted on my balcony
Kent Wang Qianlong carpet pocket square
Kent Wang Bauhaus watch
Kent Wang linen socks
Kent Wang handgrade penny loafer

The pocket square is perfectly fine. It's mostly white, so it's kind of like a white linen in that it goes with any outfit, though a bit less so since it's not completely white. What is the design actually? A map?

Jacket looks short, and the buttoning point too high. This makes your legs look disproportionately long compared to your torso.

Hello Sir, I was considering using the MTM service by Kent Wang. Do you recommend it?

Can Kent Wang make a MTM Double Breasted suit with 5 inch peak lapels?

Please forgive the drape of the pants, I was battling the wind.

I think you should taper the pants from the knee down.

Almost conservative business dress today. But not quite.

url="/t/394373/hof-what-are-you-wearing-right-now-part-iv-starting-may-2014/915#post_7176128"] [/UR[/SPOILER]L] Hi guys just getting a fit check on my grey pants on the right, any ideas what can be done to remedy the creases behind the knee area? I seem to get this in varying on degrees my pants. I highly doubt so but could it be because they need some 'breaking in' after a few wears with iron work?

Having fuller trouser leg will eliminate the problem some what. They do look rather slim at present. You can post your question here for the experts opinion. http://www.styleforum.net/t/265924/the-tailors-thread-fit-feedback-and-alteration-suggestions

Thanks for all the thumbs up on last week's outfit
This week I'm heading to Gothenburg Sweden, and was tempted to try
southernstyles "glenning."

I've been busy, working from home, and otherwise lurking/unable to post.

But here are some highlights.

These shoes double buckle I find them amazing. They have a unique appeal for me. Then these two colors are perfect together. Compliments.

Is this linen? Really nice variegated texture.

Can Kent Wang make a MTM Double Breasted suit with 5 inch peak lapels?

We can only do own width for double-breasted. For single-breasted we can do narrow, standard, and wide.

Thanks for all the thumbs yesterday chaps.

New suit day today. My first check suit where the check is reasonably noticeable, and I'm very happy with it.

Hello Sir, I love the fabrics and contemporary suiting styles that you have displayed. Is there anyway possible you could create a more classic double breasted lapel width of 4 7/8" inches wide? 4 7/8" is as thin as I feel comfortable with, when I wear a double breasted jacket. I thank you for your consideration, and for the beautiful pictures.

Today, I'm dressed best only to be rained upon - weather in NYC right now is wet, with a side order of extra wet, and a morning full of the same.

Quote: The top is great. Very nice jacket/tie combo. I'm not crazy about the square. I think this falls apart below the waist. I don't think the pants and tie work well together. Or maybe dark brown shoes and belt would have been better with the pants. Something is off to me.

^ I'm curious to know why you think this falls apart? Is it because of the shoes or don't you like the chinos here?
Personally I feel that with more casual shoes like loafers or so, it would work. Chocolate suede, probably.

The pants are the problem for me. I generally don't care for chinos with worsted jackets, but I think this doesn't work even discounting my dislike of them. AAS makes a good point about the interaction of the tie and pants, and I wonder if that shade of tan just doesn't work with that jacket, whether made of cotton or wool.

This is a nice discussion. I actually think L2BR put together a nice fit. I'm sure he got lots of admiring looks from the non-SF crowd as he walked around (men and women thinking "I wish my boyfriend dressed like that!").

But we pick nits here. I agree with SB about the fabric coherence. Still, I think L2BR noted that they are actually cream which I think a good choice if you are going to wear light gray on top. I like white as well and I can imagine, possibly, navy working. I also think the shoes are fine on the casual scale and I think with light pants, caramel, light brown is great (though I'm torn about split toes). Get some light weight wool pants, L2BR, and you're good to go with cream or white.

I think it's the yellow tie. I agree it looks nice on top where it appears more saturated in pic (more mustard). In the context of the whole fit, it gets washed out. Note that if he had chosen a navy knit, picking up the other non-gray color in the jacket, we'd be happier I suspect (remember this is a nit). The tie is an anchor point for the eye, but it's just lost in the whole fit pic (AAS's point).

But working with the yellow scale, what if the tie were darker, more rust. I'd change out the shoes to Elio's suggestion of darker suede, though not too dark if brown, maybe even navy suede. A darker yellow would help it not get lost overall.

A cold ad wet day in Sydney winter is definitely here.

^^^ It's at bijanbespoke just dropped today to say hello to my good friend Bijan. The suit I am wearing was made by him a few years ago.
