It's already Friday in Shanghai, so I thought I'd get a jump on the "Friday Stripes Challenge". This is my first "What are you wearing..." post. Please let me know what you think.

Great waist reduction and fit. Very european , nice!

The fit of your suit looks great, but for you to have a chance in the stripes challenge you're going to need better lighting and at least one closeup so we can admire the details.

Very nice first effort. Only thing I would change is to fold the PS differently but otherwise great.

There is a contrapuntal texture to this. Interesting and imaginative, but not overdone.

Spoozy, I hear the feedback you're getting, but I like this and although its out there, I feel it works for you. The brashness combined with the dofted tilt of the hat fits what appears to be your eccentric personality. Remember that a lot of the guys here like that conservative office look, and they do it well, but I think (correct me if I'm wrong) your context is a little different (a painter right?).

As for me, I'm trying to get something sorted for the challenge today, but yesterday I bruised my damn heel jumping around in my classroom like an idiot while "Anarchy in the UK" blared from my ipod dock and Johnny Rotten glared from my Smartboard (I'm teaching the Labor movement - up to the Haymarket Square Riot...timely as it seems an anarchist was at work in Tuscon this weekend) and came crashing down from a set of tables on my right heel. Getting old sucks, especially that I keep in good shape, because my body can do the things I alwas could, but its reaction to "traumas" is a little more sensative. So we'll see, but I look fwd to see what you guys conjure up!

Looks great to me.

I think a 3 pc suit is a great "anti-casual Friday" statement. Nice choice.

- what's funny is that the peeps on the Australian threak are forever "whinging" about the same tailor that I use.. I just think they don't get it - or have unrealistic expectations as I have yet to have an issue
- I wear all of the mentioned cloth for summer

Sure, I get it. To be honest (I hate to admit this), the tie was already tied and hanging on my door. I was in a rush so I did not re-tie it. It was tied for a smaller spread before.

It's bloody cold in NYC this AM - -7C/19F, and, being sick of practical attire, I've donned that which is shown below.

Spoo-meister, thanks for the welcome, and please note that it's not my shirts that are baggy, it's my body, the shirts simply conform to it, and my shirt laundry folds my shirts, as I've more drawer space than hanging space in my small NYC apartment, hence the creases.

As for your posting of yesterday, were you to wear your hat with any more insouciance, you'd be less Fred Astaire, and veering dangerously into the territory of Rosalind Russell.

Here's today's attire - the trousers are a tad short - they may be adjusted downwards sometime soon.

Great fabric on this suit! Nice use of stripes, very soft and approachable look. Photo of shoe with floorboards is a nice touch.

Aside from that pocket square fold which should never be worn again, this is perfect. Looks like a combination of european and pseudo 1980's wall street styling; very badass, and the fit couldn't be better. Great first post.
