HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II

Thanks Sander! Should I have lied and called them another brand? :^) Totally agree on Seven being overhyped. I was in the mood for darker jeans and these are the darkest I have right now by a slight shade. Need a pair of raw denim at some point. For whatever reasons, jeans are one of the most difficult RTW items for me to find that work.

PS - you should post more in this thread! You always have great looks.

Great watch, shoes, fillet of sole...Deets on pants?

The pants are by WW Chan. Fabric is Holland & Sherry cotton. HK got a little cold and wet over the weekend but these held up fine.

'The Pawn'? How was it? Had one great meal (Dover Sole) and one totally underwhelming there last year.

Not too bad. The Fish & Chips were very good as was the strip loin. Servings were massive. Want to try the Sunday Roast next. Will be posting something on the Sydney Tarts Blog shortly.

Thanks. The scarf is actually a no-name Made in Italy wool scarf I picked up this past week on clearance at a local high end shop. It wasn't even store branded. It originally sold for $55, I think. I fell in love with it when I saw it. It does resemble this one, though, doesn't it?

There are a lot of fantastic Japanese denim that would work perfectly on you. In fact, pretty much all of it except maybe some of the full-cut Sugarcanes.

In reality, you only need one or two, so the outlay is not that much. In fact, you might just require one great pair.

Why, thanks - are you sure you're not mistaken me for someone else? I think I posted only two outfits so far.

Hi there, well, this is my first post on this forum, so HI

I am 15 years old, with a MASSIVE interest in 1960's fashion, and this weekend I had some suede Chelsea Boots with Cuban Heels delivered to my door, So I whipped on a Collarless Beatles style jacket and some Primark (cheap budget clothes shop for all you non brits) girls black and white doogtooth jeans and some (fake) rayban wayfarers and away I went

I can see what you're going for, and it's not a bad attempt, although I think the jacket needs to be a little closer fitting. Look out Hardy Amies ABC of Men's Fashion on Amazon - reprints are quite cheap, it's written in around 1964 and has a few good photos.

More love for the jacket - good fit and gorgeous fabric. I won't pile on over the jeans

Superb. I can't imagine me having cause to wear the full rig, but it's great to see it so well done.

I can't speak for seven jeans at all but, what is wrong with Hugo Boss suits?

Nice fit. How do you rate the shoes? I have a belt I really like from Fratelli Rossetti and always wonder how the shoes hold up.

The shoes are built like tanks. They seem a tad bigger for me than others, say Bruno Magli's, in the same size. I have three Fratelli Rossetti's. Stores are only in Chicago and NYC in America.
