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

[donny5]

Morning, thoughts on my tie clip placement here. My rule of thumb was always between the 3rd and 4th button, but that looked off so raised it a bit.

I swear it is straight, think it is just the angle! Other comments welcome, don't wear a full suit often, just fancied it today! Cheers

Herring Chaucer wholecuts in rosewood calf from Herring Shoes

Herring Chaucer is a stunning wholecut shoe, made from fine leathers on a Goodyear welted leather sole. The wholecut is one of the hardest shoes to make. It requires one flawless piece of leather and a craftsman who can meticulously shape that one piece o

This is a really well balanced outfit, an excellent job.

Is the jacket converted from a hard 3?

Thanks. Not a hard 3 conversion. A good old Brooks Brothers 346 undarted, 3/2 roll.

After a day yesterday of clouds and rain, the sun has returned to NYC, along with seasonable temperatures, making it possible to dress up.

Someone recently asked about my watch - specifically, about my Cartier watch, which spent an inordinate amount of time at Cartier, getting a new watch band. I've included it in the close up shot, so that Cartier's efforts (and my cash for those efforts) can be appreciated.

A friend also inquired as to what I might look like, wearing a cowboy hat. As I have only one Stetson that might qualify as "cowboy", I've included it in today's photos, although it is rather at odds with the rest of my attire.

Finally, I had occasion, this past weekend, to observe the flowering trees in park spaces all over Manhattan - a trek conducted almost entirely on foot, some ten miles of it, from Murray Hill to Grant's Tomb, and back again. A couple of shots from that excursion are included, if only to prove that I can breathe without wearing a tie, and that I indeed own jeans.

I think the placement of a tie clip is down to personal preference. The Prince of Wales often wears his very low on the tie:

Agreed, its personal preference. But to my eye, yours looks too, high. I also prefer a bit more of an angle, vice attempting to wear it straight.

Got a black market haircut today. Then, I proceeded to my black market job; since making a living in Toronto is currently illegal. I was then told to go for a walk while the partners had a meeting. Lasted two hours. So, I walked around the city where I managed to take this:

It’s not much, I know.

However, I did spend the rest of the day hand-padding lapels so if you’d rather see pictures of that, here:

Cool braces and watch. In my mind, the handkerchief doesn't work with that tie, or vice versa. I like the hat... Now do a motorcycle helmet!

I've never noticed Charles wearing a tie clip before. I suppose that's the point of wearing it so low...it won't be seen with the jacket buttoned.

Btw, they are very comfortable. At least for my feet.

You know Big Brother is watching. Their folder on you must be pretty thick. What do you think you’ll see in room 101 when they haul you in?
