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

[sugarbutch]

As stated in my previous post, I went to my local Saks Fifth Avenue to pick up my latest sartorial farrago, a navy velvet jacket, a sartorial "crime of opportunity" (i.e. the jacket was heavily marked down). On getting it home, I decided to try wearing in three different ways - casual, semi-dressed up, and somewhere approximating formal. The results are as shown below - the jury is still out as to how versatile this jacket will be . . .

I am envious. I really want a similar jacket. I like all of the variations, but I dare say a bit lighter wash on the denim would offer a nice bit of contrast.

It is a Saks house brand jacket.

@upr_crust Out of curiosity did you take your normal size or size down? I've had mixed experiences with Saks sizes

Important to match one’s suit with one’s SL.

Yes. Yes it is. ?

This jacket is in dire need of a good pressing.

I took my normal size, and the only alteration needed was the sleeve length.

All of them works but in the end the bowtie still wins.

Yeah I mostly agree.
I have a black velvet jacket Crusty which I wear as you have in number one, only with evening strides not jeans. That comes out for festive season house parties.
Number two is a bit of a hybrid, number three looks fine!

Today's outfit: errands on campus.

The fit of these chinos dissatisfies me at the moment. My quarantined summer of reading has diminished my "to be read" stack, whilst distending my waistline. Perhaps I need to start taking a passeggiata in the evening?

May I have the hat details?
