HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II

The button holes on the suit are serious. Nice look, but I will echo the other comments about the collar (almost like some goodfellas ****). Do you really work at your desk with your coat on?

Nice fit, but I particularly like the collar on that shirt - it suits you. I would have gone with your suede chukkas for this fit.

Trouser's pabric and fit are nice, but overcoat looks short to me and I would have gone with a darker sportcoat for more contrast.

I can't believe it's that hot there! I have commented on how much I like this suit before, but upon browsing back through your fits I can't help but think that the button stance on some of these older numbers (particularly yesterday and today) is quite low, which makes them appear a little dated.

I like this simplicity of this overall; however, coat appears a little short and I am not sold on the besom pockets for a sportcoat.

ndw, great outfit but iammatt will reprimand you for wearing such a rustic tie with such a smooth shirt/suit.

Thanks, Ed. I hope iammatt can forgive me

At a friends wedding this pass Saturday. Sorry I do not have a full shot.



D,

Nice combo with the brown and pink. I love pink. So many guys are afraid to wear it. You do it nicely, my man. Cool kicks and socks on that one too.

A pity no full shot of the wedding attire. Next time.

niidawg3 - One of the best I've seen from you, regarding both fit and style.
Details on that tie?

Well following that logic then the same should be said about blue:

For further clarification:

"The actual color of Tyrian purple, the original color purple from which the name purple is derived, is the color of a dye made from a mollusc that in classical antiquity became a symbol of royalty because only the very wealthy could afford it. Therefore, Tyrian purple was also called imperial purple."

"In medieval Europe, blue dyes were rare and expensive,[14] so only the most wealthy or the aristocracy could afford to wear them. (The working class wore mainly green and brown.) Because of this (and also because Tyrian purple had gone out of use in western Europe after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476), Europeans' idea of purple shifted towards this more bluish purple known as royal purple because of its similarity to the royal blue worn by the aristocracy. This was the shade of purple worn by kings in medieval Europe"

Spoo, your colors can seem detached from one another - much like Rob's commented fit the other day. But hey, at least you're having fun.[/url]
Is this a bad thing? Clearly, the man does not wish to fade into the background. I like when his colors pop and clash. Less Beethoven, more Stravinsky. If it was all dissonance (and I think some looks have come close) it would fail, but a little bit is pleasing. Can I ask what kind of work you do, Spoo? I can't imagine what kind of environment allows you to dress so "up" and yet so "odd" (in the best possible sense of the word) at the same time.

That made me laugh, PandArts and Trini... In your defense Pan, I was thinking "a" prince too, had to go back and re-read the original. Doh! EZ

Trini, Bris and Spoo ... How's the moisturization?

Lovin' the flannelly look of this, I just might have to snap up the one on B&S.

Not too wet here, yet.
