Gdl, that jacket is beautiful. I think some New Standards might be a more flattering fit with those shoes though.

Disagree on both. The C&J Tetbury are boots, hence the slight bootcut openings of the APC Rescue are perfect IMO.

gdl203, I think you should tuck the scarf into the jacket. And please cross-post (or post in general) more often.

Nice jacket. The pattern is taking your camera for a ride in the first two pics.


Thanks ken. What do you mean by "taking the trouser hem away"?

I just fold it inside, no stitched hem here... Do you mean that it would look better stacking the leg opening?

The whole look was pretty relaxed with a fairly padded jacket so I thought a more relaxed Rescue worked better. I wear my NS with more fitted tops generally

Thanks whacked. I've been collecting watches for 10+ years now and have been adding slowly to the collection.

re: self-timer, I actually asked my wife to take the pictures... She looked at me with a "err.. what?" look on her face, but she helped out

I think he meant that it looked like one of those invisible 1" trouser hems rather than a .25" contrast stitch jeans hem, which makes sense since you tucked under. I think you should get them hemmed to your preferred length, and tell the tailor to make the new hem look just like the original one.

Love the jacket, by the way. I recently got a similar one from Borrelli (actually Shop the Finest), but mine's more a hunting jacket.

Bingo. I think the length is good, but allow for some very minimal shrinking if you haven't washed them yet.
