WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

[Hayward]



Good fit and nice casual. Well done.

Thank you! Though it does seem that I now have to commute across the continent to get good clothes. Otherwise I get swaddled in fleece...

Again, hate taking pictures in harsh lighting conditions. Don't like how these pics turned out at all.

Spoiler: Last night, couldn't do hair

Nice looking and great fitting leather jacket. Details?

Thanks, it is TOJ like all of my other jackets. They have a thread in SW&D and an unofficial website at http://www.templeofjawnz.com. Feel free to mention me if you buy a jacket since the creator likes knowing how people heard about his work.

I agree, this is terrible. How can you leave the house, ever.

Well I mostly meant just the pictures. I look awesome.

Kiton Jacket
Ralph Lauren wool slacks
Neiman Marcus sweater

I like the colors, but I think the silhouette is columnar and I can't imagine why that is desirable. Even sack suits don't look this blocky.

Does this count?

Sorry, no, it's Belstaff

Damn! Well, from my iPhone I thought the jacket looked like Belstaf but the lining looked like Barbour..,
Nice jacket nonetheless, what model Belstaff?
Btw, it's a good look on you.

+1 on model number. Whodini also posted a great-looking Barbour or Belstaff jacket (in the early pages of SW&D's WAYWT thread), but then I visit their web sites, and all I find are a bunch of prominently logo-ed jackets, never the exact thing people are posting here.


Colors all look great, btw.

P.S. NOBD, I forgot to reply about the lens. This 50mm gives too much zoom. For instance, these pictures were taken with a tripod from across the room. There's no more space to move the camera away to capture the shoes better, etc. A full-frame camera takes a 50mm and it's like normal human field of vision. Cheaper DSLRs effectively make it into an 80mm, not a 50mm.

I haven't worn loafers since the eighties... Thanks for the socks!

I know what you mean(t). I meant the 50 isn't a zoom lens, because it has a fixed focal point. It's 80mm on my camera as well. For WAYWRN totals I use about 35mm on my (actual) zoom lens, which translates to 50 mm.​

@ PTW:
Jacket too long, sleeves too long, buttons too close together, trousers too baggy, collared jacket needs a collared shirt. Other than that it's all fine and you look so much better without the face fungus.

Thanks. Yes I do want to project a trimmer silhouette, I am having my pants altered, and I'll need some guidance on the jackets. Having pushed up my running to 40 mi/wk, and lost 20 pounds by dieting (shooting for 23 to 28 pound loss), its probably a good time to get things retailored. Fortunately, I always bought my jackets and pants too tight.

The sweater has to go, Mr Williams.

Roadmaster. I have one in black also. Great riding jackets for drizzly weather, and they look fine as part of a casual fit also. The black is a great looking coat, I've had women ask me if they could touch it..
