Taken from the P Johnson Tailor site; an up-and-coming Australian MTM outfit (do a google).

And no, I don't work for them.

But I am getting something made by them!!!

Totally. I didn't realize that one was by jeffrey. I thought he preferred a roped shoulder. This is so 'soft' looking.

(Collared button down shirt + pants, no suit/tie)

Charcoal/black? Tan? What style?


Almost anything goes with medium gray odd trousers except more gray. Try to keep the value of whatever color jacket either lighter or darker than your pants for some contrast. How about navy!

^^ Hahaha Spoo pulls that photo out once more.

Speaking of love for grey, I'm wearing nothing but greyscale right now. Colours are overrated.

Personally I think this thread beats the brown and navy one since grey really is the most verstile IMO... If this is too much of an overload just let me know... Part 1 is various grey shades, textures, and patterns in suits and sportscoats Part 2 is other uses of grey I found interesting.
PART 1
