What are you wearing today??

[ArrowCollarMan]

I got dressed up for valentines day today.

Valentines comic I did for the school newspaper.

You look great and I adore your comic--especially the last panel. Nice work!

Yesterday. Early 30s belt-back, pleated and pleated pocket sports coat, 40s trousers, CC41 brown/white stripe shirt, blue slubby silk striped tie.

I'd love to see more of the trousers. I really like to overall contrast -- the jacket as an item is great. Pics of the back?

Is this the famous "20s jacket" of other FL fame? I'd love to see some other 'action' pics.

Borderline perfection.

If only the Baron would adopt the practice of stuffing a handkerchief in his breast pocket. It won't hurt, BK; Promise

 

[Jovan]

Send him a Kent Wang... he'll use it.

Contrast to typical

I know it's a bit different from usual, and since all but one class was cancelled, and I swore I'd stay away from the shop for the day (lol), it was a casual one.

Great look CB. I really, really like that denim shirt. Those are the kind of shirts that become old friends.

I haven't been here for a while, but I'm enjoying all the beautiful women and handsome men I've missed! :eusa_clap

Baron - how about a close up of that jacket pocket? It's wild!

I went and spent time at my mother in laws for Valentine's Day with my husband. Therefore, no fancy dresses or anything. However, I did get to wear my new handmade 1920's cloche with rhinestones and exaggerated trim. I'll try to take close up pictures of this one soon - it's highly unusual and appears brand new. I wore it with a 1950's Lord and Taylor Cashmere Sweater and Red Feryn Robyn Heels.

You look really good. Did you hit the gym? The ladies must be all over you now. The new hair cut looks much better and should work with your hats. Total transformation!!!!!!!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Hi Betty,

I'll get some close-ups soon. The garden in my new place has perfect lighting for photography at about 3 in the afternoon on an overcast day. I love the pockets on this jacket. As i was expounding to the senator the other night, i'm of the opinion that the pockets should mirror what's going on on the back of the jacket. For example on this jacket the back has three side seam facing knife pleats and a shoulder panel construction. The pockets each have 3 side seam-facing knife pleats and a panel across the top. The harmony thus introduced is quite striking. The brown one i sold to herringbonekid has a similar back/pocket harmonic element.

Excellent jacket. I feel something approaching envy, which does not happen that often...

Not sure who he resembles, besides that he resembles handsome.

EDIT: I do see a resemblance...

I frequently picture CB like Chris O'Donnell in the movie The Bachelor, with 300 would-be brides in hot pursuit...Just a preposterously handsome guy. Hope he's blushing.

Moving right along to today's outfit, I picked up CB's denim theme a bit, unusual for me even on a "Casual Friday."

Calvin Klein Truth cologne
Dark tan non-ribbed OTC socks
Lucchese 3000 datk brown dress cowboy boots
