Both coats are excellente.    I really like the oversized pockets on the navy coat!?

great coat Frank. is that moleskin?

Thanks both.

And moleskin it is! Both the Schneider and the field jacket.

with multi-denim and the western styling of the vest), no tie is casual enough to fit the rest of it.

Unless maybe if you do like Ronald Reagan, Clint Eastwood, Bob Dylan or Vincent Vega and wear a bolo tie.

^^ I really really don´t get why you wear ties with fits like that. Looks contrived and out of place.

Probably because he makes and sells them.

I think ties work in most of his casual-ish fits and that he does the jeans-and-tie thing better than most people, but I agree that the three-piece Canadian tux may be a bridge too far for the necktie.

(FWIW, I like the three-piece Canadian tux fit if you back out the necktie.)

Unless maybe if you do like Ronald Reagan, Clint Eastwood, Bob Dylan or Vincent Vega and wear a bolo tie.

Or this.

Idk this would look better with all that denim I think, but my taste is all in my mouth.

Thinking about it a little further, there may be a way to make the triple-denim-and-tie getup work, but I think it would have to be a really rustic tweed or something heavily textured that might not be a typical tie fabric (duck? can you make a tie out of duck?). Either that or take the western look to the next level and make a tie out of bandanna fabric.

Bandanna print fabric tie. That has great potential for that look. Bravo.

Sweet boots @frankcopperwood. Who are they by?

Thanks. They are Dinkelacker derbies that I got from Manufactum. Description said they are a waxed suede, which I wouldn't guess from looking at them. So I'm waiting to see if the nap comes up with wear or if, maybe, there was some issue in the translation from the German.

Was just really oddly proportioned. I'm 5 ft 9ish and 155, typically EU50 in fashion stuff.

Buzz Rickson stuff in general is oddly proportioned - it's very repro, right down to the sizing and cuts. I thought the Gibson jacket might be different.

Well the "L" version is slightly elongated and might be to your taste (mine is 36L), it is somewhat bulkier than you'd think by looking at the pic (but then this picture makes me look like I'm balding like Bruce Willis in Die Hard I so not a reliable portrait) but that's part of the charm. I think I'd also be ok with a 38 or 38L, this isn't tailoring. I'd avoid the versions with military (?) patches, a little bit too much unless it is a real one and grandpa served.

I think I kind of like the tie, actually, on its own terms, but with respect to the ensemble I could not agree more.

@NewYorkIslander, do you have any other close-ups of the tie (like your last pic, but with more teddy-bear and less crotch)?


It's clearly a very informal tie, but with an aged, beaten-up "brown and denim" outfit (especially IMO with multi-denim and the western styling of the vest), no tie is casual enough to fit the rest of it.

Ya, made a similar remark a few days ago about another one of his outfits. Ties are cool though, I'd just dress up a little bit more to wear them. I also love the denim on denim on its own, I look a little bit fake when I do it but he's on point.
