What are you wearing today??

[Widebrim]

^^Great ensembles, Alan.

From right now: c.late-'30s DB orphaned jacket from A.R. Donghia, Bold Look Era "Candlestick" tie (from Harris & Frank), Nordstrom shirt, modern slacks (which should probably be lighter).

Christmas day outfit...if a tad late posting. Dress knitted after a catalog illustration from 1932.

Oh crazydaisy, you look great, and what a dress!! You pull of the '30s silhouettes and knitwear so splendidly, I'm envious!

 

[Espee]

crazydaisy, that's spectacular. Seriously.
On a lighter note, isn't it great that the bit of camera red-eye goes with the colors you're wearing?

 

[crazydaisy]

yeah, the red eye keeps my face from looking washed out

Seriously, thank you, but don't be hasty with the compliments. This has been in fact a bitter-sweet project and a costly learning curve. 2 big mistakes were made, one in choosing a style that proved unflattering by accentuating some shortcomings of my silhouette, and secondly by choosing the wrong yarn which was too heavy for the style and worsened those aspects (narrow shoulders, flat chest, pear shape). You probably can't tell by looking at this pic only, but trust me, I'm not just saying to fish more compliments. The actual knitting, done by mother, is splendid. With more thought on my part the pitfalls could have been avoided, but this hasn't happened.

Atsa nice, Dinerman. It's subtle, and I don't feel like I can pull off a "I've been working on the railroad all the livelong day" look here in Japan because so many others are so much better at it than I ever could be. And too bad the diner's closed. But then maybe it's been closed since 1947?

Atsa nice, Dinerman. It's subtle, and I don't feel like I can quite pull off a "I've been working on the railroad all the livelong day" look here in Japan because so many others are so much better at it than I could ever be. And too bad the diner's closed. But then maybe it's been closed since 1947.

It was my wife's birthday so I took her out for dinner and the opening opera for the season. It was Verdi's Aida. I also pampered myself with a hot towel straight razor shave at the barber's earlier in the day!

My 1950s vintage After Six by Rudofker midnight blue tails, vintage Harrod's marcella waistcoat, vintage Swank MOP studs and cufflinks set, vintage 1913 Dunlop high silk hat, 1890s Hampden pocket watch, modern marcella shirt, bow tie and collar from Darcy, Alen Edmunds captoe oxfords shined up to glow! I need a little more starch in the marcella and somehow the tie got off center during the course of the evening...

Chasseur,

as a long-time lurker, I've always enjoyed your photos. Your bride is stunning in that dress, and you cut a fine figure in white tie. I particularly like the flower in your lapel - adds just the right dash of color. I attended a party tonight, and wore one of my favorite suits. wool, late 40s/early 50's (I think) with modern tie, shirt, and pocket square, and my favorite Allen Edmonds wingtips. Hope everyone's had a great weekend!

Fantastic!

Those slacks are incredible. Are they gabardine? They look almost velvety in texture.

I guess they are the polyester gabardine trousers from dancestore. They look nice enough for the price. I love the combination of blue and brown in your outfit

You are a very sophisticated dresser in all of it elements. Nothing looks dated just very fresh. I would love to see a Half-Windsor with this. ensemble!

Absolutely Immaculate! A real life noble and gallant gentleman seemingly taken right out of what would appear to be a fairy tale. People like you keep true elegance alive.

Thanks guys!

Yup, that's what they are. I'm writing up a review but in a nutshell, I think they're great. They drape well, are uber high-waisted and will be perfect for summer (was a tad cold for them today but I couldn't wait).

Thanks gents! Pattern/Stripe matching is perpetually my growing edge...

Not looking anywhere near as good as any of our fellow Loungers, just a Sunday evening spent at my desk, on the FL.

My bet is in flannel. I just love the color.
