HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II

Spectacular, Spoo - love the drape on the trousers.

Dear Urban - who left you in charge to judge how many photos are approriate here? I have NO problem with Crusty's posting 6 photos - maybe you're just used to seeing too many complete reposts by others of all of Crusty's original posts. Maybe everyone reposting the 1 photo that strikes them would make it more palatable for you.

We are a lazy people here on teh intewebz, and we lose interest quickly. There is no need to post so many pictures, especially if all them are huge and most of them are identical. Please decrease the number of pictures and/or their size.[/quote]

Robbie - wonderful, as usual - however, wld you post these shots in the "Rock Your Socks" thread? Thanks..it'll make that thread more fun to gaze upon.

Looking for full critique of it, as it's one of my new, post SF pieces, and I am thinking of getting more from this designer - but am soliciting feedback before I do so.

Also not sure what's going on with my left hand here - not looking to pick a fight.

[/SPOILER]
That's a great SC. Fits you well, too. Here's a couple things I might suggest:

I like the jeans with the SC. Looks cool. However, while dress trousers might nor might not have a belt, jeans always should.

Also, the pocket square is nice. With jeans, I'd say it's unnecessary, but if you want to dandy it up, who am I to say?

Shoes are great, and the SC fits you well. What's the material on the SC, BTW?

No one left me in charge; it's only a suggestion. If the dude's wearing a 3 piece suit, do I have to see the full shirt underneath? Take it a step further: do I have to know that the lining of his drawers match the piping of his pocket square?
Repoasting is another problem. But still, poasting 6-ish repetitive pics of oneself, unless you're Jessica Alba, is over the top.
Suggestion: Jessica Alba, please poast here. kthxbai

Listen to Nii. He knows what he's talking about.

Jacket looks a bit stiff.
Jacket/shirt/tie/pants/shoes coordination is great, but ps just doesn't look right. Plain white or a complementary paisley (maybe blue) would work much better, imo.

post scriptum- oops, my bad about the ps... at first glance (laptop monitor badly placed) it looked like a plain black ps...
Still, maybe it's the fold and overall stifness I don't like.
Cheers

Yeah I've seen that he definitely knows how to throw an outfit together from various pics I've seen lurking around... I do like the tie, though. Is paisley / floral just a no go? I'm so tired of wearing stripes all the time. Also, the pattern is quite a bit more subdued than the picture makes it seem.

Banis - are those the Vass shell norwegers?

If I may jump in to this conversation: the problem here is not that upr_crust posts too many pictures (though that doesn't help). The problem is that his outfits are ******* hideous. Let's call a spade a spade.

Details on the shirt, please?
