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

[themanfromLisbon]

these crocket have a beautiful patina and last, was the colour alike at first?

I don’t know if you’re talking about mine, but presuming you are, here how they look like when I bought it, but just a little bit lighter.
Btw, I think I did a good job with the shoes, think they look very good.

mishmash (plural mishmashes)

1. A collection containing a variety of miscellaneous things.

Thanks. Yes, indeed. Today I was not in the mood. I think I dressed what was more easy to handle.

those yellow socks work even better than I would have guessed, inspired to get me some!

Thanks! They are palatino. I normally couldn’t wear this color but I can get away with it in sock form.

First time wearing this jacket and I’m coming to like the shoulder roping. But god damn these short arms of mine.

Also taking the new socks out for a spin and I love em.

The ensemble is pretty good, and the combo socks/shoes are superb. Love both colors.
One of your best, my opinion.
Cheers

I like the colors and textures of this outfit very much, especially the shoe/socks/trousers which are gorgeous! The tie however feels slightly unbalanced in width compared to the lapels.

 

[GoldenHarvestMedal]

Very nice.

What's the fabric of your SC?

 

[Roy Al]

Thank you.
No, it's from 2015. Made from a Holland & Sherry cloth. It's a sort of twill.

New suit? Looking good. What is the fabric? Don’t think I have ever seen such a pattern / weave.

Thank you as well! I was a little worried the ochre yellow might be too strong but the honey color of the pants and mid brown suede toned it down just enough.

Never be affraid to be bold, you’re just in time, you’re young, though I think we are never old to dare to use strong colours. That’s a stupid tradition to avoid those colors. You should see the wardrobe of the late Edward VIII of England, or the one of Fred Astaire, two of best dressed men ever. Some may say that’s not a gentleman thing, but just take a look at the great stores of London or Paris, not to mention the great Italian brands.

Trad. Reverse uniform. Navy pants and gray jacket. The tie is brown.

Something unusual.

The temperature hit 61 degrees today. Far as I'm concerned that's all the excuse I need to break out my Panama style hat and vintage safari jacket. That hat will stay on my head for the 6 months...

 

[Luigi_M]

I have one very alike. I don’t know why suddenly this kind of blazers became out for some people. I think it’s pretty good.

Cheers

I too noticed this Vic.
Until about 20 years ago everyone owned at least one blue blazer, often with metal buttons.
Maybe not in big towns, but in little ones the blue blazer was considered an elegant attire (with black shoes) by the layman, and a sort of passepartout by the (usually self pretending) more refined guys.
Then, almost suddenly, no one weared them anymore.
Pity, I think, because I always liked to have a blue jacket in my closet.

I like a good bold chalkstripe and yours is specially nice and well put together, even if some details may appear osèe to someone. But I think that's exactly what you want
I'm jealous of the cut and drape of your trousers too ...

Amen to what you say Vic!
But I think that one needs some good years after his back to fully realize some truths.
Don't ask me how I know ...
