WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

[fritzl]



Well, maybe thats the base reason the Parker/Maomao picture pair isn't working for you. The point was being made for the benefit of... the skiers of green circle or blue square hills, not those who ski the black diamonds or double black diamonds of clothing.
If you want a laugh, imagine my walking up to MaoMao or Parker and launching into that analyses. Nothing could be more pedantic or pointless.

that would be guaranteed.

Here's two images, the first from Parker over on SW&D just the other day, the second from Trini's pre-2009 Hall of Fame thread, of who I don't know.

(Parker, fix the cuffs!)

My take away from these two is their lovely sense of minimalism: each uses texture in place of pattern. This is closer to the SF main line, and in some sense what I mean by harmony.

I know there has been some love/hate debate over these in varying respects but I like 'em both

I'd love some help with this: http://www.styleforum.net/t/284682/...-plain-hem-i-e-no-gathering-at-the-waist/0_50

Parker's jacket is excellent.

I know at least one Senior Member who would approve Parker's fingerless gloves.

Racing Green single vent 3 roll 2 cotton navy SC over Polo Golf black gingham l/s sport shirt and Levis 514s. Stupid vee neck gray tee wasn't deep enough.

Burn the Levi's because of their dad-jean color, and replace them with more honest, much less processed, denim. Then we'll talk.

Ok, actually the rest has potential.

Light jeans will make a comeback, and they're not a cardinal sin - but I'd agree in this case you'd better err on the darker side.

Hah! I actually changed out of darker 505's just so there would be a greater sense of definition between the coat and the jeans. Oops. First instinct is the best, I suppose.

Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.

Dig: I think you can ignore the feedback above. The jeans could be a bit darker, but the color is fine as-is. If anything, the jacket looks a bit boxy. Is there any room to suppress that waist?

Sorry for the ghetto bathroom photos, I wasn't man enough to use to the full length bathroom mirror at the office.

I don't mean to pile on you Diggsy as the overall outfit is a fine weekend look. The jacket is a bit boxy as suggested, and this may be due to the proportions being off. Look how low the pockets and lower button are. It looks like a longer jacket has been over-aggressively shortened., either by you or the previous owner of you thrifted it.

What belt buckle did you use to make that belt?

Looks like a quick release buckle - you know - for when you need to drop trou in a BIG hurry.
