Merry Christmas StyleForum!
I took this pic at a Christmas party, my sleeves were rolled up because i was helping Grandma with the dishes.

I'll probably have a lot more fits next year when my new stuff arrives and gets tailored, and I'll hopefully be getting out more and taking my outfit pictures in more interesting locations than just my flat lol

If you're wondering whats going on with the sleeves, I did a very crude alteration on this shirt to take up the sleeves

Yes, with a girls toy sewing machine. It was the cheapest I could find second-hand and definitely cheaper than going and getting all my shirts tailored!

Merry Christmas! Hopefully you all got something from Santa!

Very nice jacket, both in pattern and fit. Would suggest a shirt with shorter points and a much wider spread, so they end up under the lapels of your fine jacket. These long, droopy points smother your tie, pull the viewer's attention downward rather than up toward your face, and detract from the overall look.

Don't know if you drink, but if you do, try some Vintage Port. Not LBV or Colheita, but proper Vintage. Porto is a great city. Enjoy.

Porto is indeed a great city!
I don’t drink a lot, but we did visit the Taylor’s winery, did a wine tasting and quite enjoyed it, tried LBV and different kinds of vintage, I liked both the LBV and the regular(?) vintage honestly, not so much on the Tawny vintage tho. (By the way, the Iberian ham served in the winery is the best I ever had!)

Running around with the kids I simply had no time to take a good photo for everyone here, was hoping to get a nice critique of the fit, particularly the pants came out nice with the suspenders. Either way:

- Attolini sport coat
- Brooks Brothers vest (perhaps too high cut? more of a cardigan style would be better?)
- Drakes white OCBD
- E Marinella maccelsfield green tie
- Bills blackwatch tartan wool pants
- Bresciani navy/red OTC socks
- Alden LHS cordovan loafers

After a holiday weekend that was casual, and facing three days of rain ahead in the NYC metro area, I took today to be a good day to dress up, a day neither wet nor particularly cold. Today's ensemble was driven by today's shirt, a MTM item I had made several years ago, which has proven to be less versatile than expected, but which pairs well (IMHO) with today's suit, which was next in rotation to be worn. Today's tie was a gift from a friend living in Florence, Italy - the symbol for the city is the fleur de lis. Today's hat was a gift from a friend downsizing his living quarters - a chance acquisition to which I am getting accustomed.

In my capacity as accidental boulevardier, I did a stroll up Madison Avenue, noting that the city is still full of tourists - a sea of jeans and sneakers. I am sure that I must have appeared a strange sight to the heaving masses . . .

Suit - Ralph Lauren Purple Label
Shirt - Brook Brothers MTM
Tie - Firenze
Cufflinks - Benson & Clegg, London
Braces - Albert Thurston
Pocket square - Ede & Ravenscroft
Vintage watch chain
Shoes - Paul Stuart house brand
Overcoat - Brooks Brothers
Scarf - Frank Stella, NYC
Hat - Hawkins, UK

OK, so you took one babystep. Instead of the usual tie knot, shirt collar, top lapel and bottom of chin, you have now zoomed out to include 1 roll-button hole!

Next step -- whole chin, and maybe shoulders of suit jacket also? At this rate we'll be at full-body shot by next Christmas.

You are my brother from another mother. To my family, Drake's, Charvet and Zilli mean nothing! If asked, they'd guess 7-fold is some sort of yoga move.
We belong in the 20th century, when people got silk ties for Christmas.
This year I got a sarong and a shaving brush. Not sure about the sarong, but my family trying to tell me something with the brush.

My, that is quite a funk fest you have there. Put it together on a dare? That outfit is nothing like Acute Style would wear, nothing at all, why did you think that? But then you don't want to copy others you want your own style and someday it may drift your way until then maybe consider easing up on poking around in your closet with the lights off and just grabbing at stuff.
