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

[ericgereghty]

Just got this 1940's suit and I thought it was classic enough to not alter, mainly regarding the trousers. Typical ethan styling, but offset the wide leg trousers with more "contemporary" choice of loafers.

Honestly, I don't wear super vintage stuff out/for work but I think this was a good one. Arnold Wong of Attire House was a big inspiration. I know he does bespoke, but he seems to request wide leg trousers and makes them work! It's a little eccentric, but I like it.

I’m defnitely a fan of proper pants, but those are two wide for my blood. Perhaps it’s the just the stance, but I’m getting a distinct bellbottom vibe.

Thursday. Still seeing red. Solid red socks. Red stripes in the shirt, tie and watch strap.

February is a quiet month so far for me when it comes to wearing something tailored. Today I finally got a chance and went with this one.

Gapes open and exposes your backside if you stand with your hands in your pockets.

Also, at the time Flusser was writing his books side vents were mostly seen on bespoke and English tailoring and centre vents were associated with low-end RTW. Things have changed since then and side vents are pretty much everywhere now. Even the Italians rarely make anything else.

I'm a ventless man myself

I’ve noticed the ubiquity of side vents. I’m looking for something classic with a single vent à la Don Draper. Hard to find such a thing.

That's really cool, E. I feel like the tie and jacket don't have much love for each other... but then also feel that suggesting a plain-colored silk knit tie instead might not be pushing things as far as you wanted.

Either way, you're definitely putting up a lot of food for thought lately.

I agree with the tie + jacket being a subpar matching. It was more sort of an experiment tbh. Will probably only wear this jacket with solid ties.

Saturday. High contrast. Not sold on this jacket and tie pairing, but I kind of like it.
