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

[Caustic Man]

If the Golden Ratio does not dictate your lapel width, you cannot consider yourself well dressed.

Mathematical, or philosophical?

#62. After my last effort (which has garnered 62 thumbs to date), anything I post from now is bound to look like I'm phoning it in.

@Claghorn , hmm...all four items on their own are lovey, however i don´t feel the combination. In my book, the tie could have been more darker to better set off the coat. Others might surely disagree and i nitpicking, but that´s just how this forum works, right?

Today, strolling in a solaro DB...





While it might seem that the coat is a bit too snug, IRL it isn´t. It´s just how the fabric doesn´t drape as grafecully as my woolen suits...it doesn´t bother me too much, anyhow.

It works very well as a 6 x 1. Which isn't always the case.

The foo 4 x 1 relaxed and slouchy experiment.

Yesterday (this isn't a tweed)

Today (the pattern of the jacket is blue-grey but doesn't appear in the photo) and there is some brown in the PS to match with the tie. Hope you can see the herringbone in the tie.

With Clags, there's a difference?

It's still quite warm in NYC, though alleged to be low humidity, but I've skipped wearing a tie in any case.

Jacket - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Shirt & trousers - BB
PS - Robert Talbott
Shoes - Tyrwhitt

Great combination for an after-work Gin & Tonic on a rooftop bar!

In April I took a trip to Japan, and while in Osaka I did an MTM BlazerSuit[sup]TM[/sup] in navy fresco with a shop called Kubo Classic Style. I'll probably write more about the experience and my trip at some point.

I like the suit a lot, but I wonder whether your figure would benefit from a somewhat built-up shoulder, like that:

BB Makers Oxford cloth tie

O'Connell's navy blazer

Glad to see an O'Connell's blazer in this thread. I have had to move away from their SC's and Trousers for fit reasons, but there really isn't a nicer bunch of guy's. If you ever get a chance to visit the store its a one of a kind menswear experience for sure.

Yep, I'm with you. As soft shoulders go, these lay the cleanest of any jacket I own, but at some point I definitely intend to try a maker with a house style that's more built up. Might join some of the San Francisco contingent for a go at Steed when they come back in October. Thanks for the feedback and the image!

Martin Greenfield gets no love on SF, but they do great work if you like a classic american style. For those that live in the NYC area, once or twice a year they do a deal on gilt where it is ~$1400 for a "MTM" suit in a solid range of fabrics (you can upgrade if you want something with a high #). I use MTM in quotes because they call it that, but there was a basted fitting, maybe not quite a full bespoke, but more than a typical MTM process.
