[Lucky Strike]

...I think it's the proportions between the slim-cut jeans and the bulky upper body with three not-particularly-slim layers. I do think that LuckyStrike's pose, with one arm raised, exaggerates it a bit, as it makes one side of the jacket's skirt flare outward.

Yep, I think you're right - I dressed for vintage shopping in the self-appointed "hip" gentrified part of town - the cardigan was a find that day, so I just put it on instead of carrying it around. (Pic was taken when I got home.) But yes, the upper body came out far too bulky, juxtaposed with the narrow jeans.

Gotta say though, that the combination of french cuffs/double-breasted blazer is a little too formal for me to be paired with jeans. It's sort of sending contradictory messages, and I don't really know what to make of it. That is a very nice tie, though.
I don't think it looks bad, necessarily, but it is eccentric.

I know - I rather like the look myself - I wear double cuffs haphazardly and casually.

I knew I shouldn't have said that.

Heh, no, spontaneous criticism is what makes this exercise of posting pics of what you wear educational.

I don't think you were being impolite. I can't speak for Lucky Strike, but I know I was raised to appreciate constructive criticism. Don't beat yourself up.

Yep, absolutely no offense taken. Not one of my better efforts, that. Here's yesterday:

A rare glimpse of the sun in March prompted my throwing on the summer suit and Panama. The Summer Room has its' own little micro weather system anyway Not the sort of thing I could wear to work though sadly.

Nice look Dinerman

Hey D,

I love your beautiful collection of hats, but it's nice to see you sans the lid for a day. That's a very sharp haircut. You look good with the sides cleaned up.

Good work!

[Jovan]

That reminds me... I need to get my sides cleaned up a bit. Hair seems to grow faster when you've had it cut really short. lol

Great look as always, Dinerman.

 

[Valhson]

Those ship cuff links are amazing! Wish I could find a pair.

 

[Lucky Strike]

Paddy, that summer suit is great.

I really dig that coat Lucky Strike... Whats the make?

Thanks - it's Dunn & Co, my dad's old one. The cloth is West of England.

That's a very sharp haircut. You look good with the sides cleaned up.

+1!
