(Old) What Are You Wearing Now/Today? Part II - pictures only - no discussion

Did anyone else just notice that?

notice what?

West24 IMO that look wouldve worked better with a cleaner, shorter silhouette on the trousers. i think break like that can look good with a looser overall silhouette, but with that cardigan/shirt combo usually i picture the grey trousers to be cuffed with no break, stopping exactly right above the shoe.

youre right, i didnt have any clean dress pants, and i didnt think i was going to need to wear any today. and these are really long and i havent had time to take them to the tailor. so i rolled them up but if rolled up any higher it would have been really thick looking.(the roll) but yea when i take them to the tailor im going to get them shortend etc.

3 KB posts in one night: one to make up for when he didn't post, one for today, and one to make up for when he won't post. Talk about clockwork dedication.

J Crew stuffs, Clark desert boots.
Hey, I think I'm gonna get some desert boots this weekend, do you mind telling me what size shoe you wear in those? I'm trying to figure out if the Clarks desert boots are the right ones for me.

Those are a size 11, which is1/2 size down from my typical size. See http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=27461 for all your desert boot questions.

amazing. someone new asked an easy to answer question and it was answered politely.

I think you're caring a little bit too much. I'd say it's safe to assume that the vast majority of people who read the SW WAYNNT either like your posts or at the very least have no problem with them. I personally don't mind seeing the "professional" fits here, as I don't check the MC thread too often. The pics are always good and even though I don't think I'll be getting a Panerai myself anytime soon, watch pr0n is always hot.

well, pg...since you really want to figure it out, i'll offer my opinion...

in what and how you are posting, you are communicating a hell of a lot...there's so much there...so much effort, time and money has been put in to the total package, that one, consciously or not, has to question the motivation...the way we answer the question is a major determining factor in where we stand in the phat guido hater-fan continuum...

a hater like cloudhands69, a pothead wannabe-hipster, probably looked at his monitor one day, and through a haze of smoke sees you with your gleaming smiles and watches...he instantaneously recognizes you as the enemy...the absolute embodiment of completely unabashed, unrestrained and utterly remorseless free-market global capitalism...

but, you have a lot of fans here on sf...i think that is because in this place, there are many that can relate to and respect your passion for collecting items of fine quality and taste...the fact that you go to pains to present them to us, only enriches their lives, and they are the happier for it...

and, as i question my own motivation for writing three paragraphs detailing the love-hate relationship styleforum for has with the phat guido, i shall leave you with the disclosure that i, personally, after looking at your posts, often find myself wondering if i am a pg-hater or pg-fan...i think i am both...and neither

Phat Guido you're not gonna be able to please everybody, i don't think it's so necessary to defend yourself so vehemently or even question a reason for any of the hate directed at you...it's the internet, anyone who logs on to this site with access to a keyboard and ten fingers can type whatever the hell they want. Some times there is no logic or reason to a particular post, maybe they were just in the mood for throwing something out there to bait you

just my 2 cents.

I think your posts both here and in MC are very widely admired and appreciated. There's just a vocal minority who feel the opposite. Perhaps the best way to handle it would be to only post what you're visibly (so no wallet/scent/etc.) wearing / carrying (and then maybe throw in the car description when it's in the pictures). Just my $0.02.
