What are you wearing today??

[Flat Foot Floey]

Welcome to the Fedora Lounge, Michael. Very good picture and outfit.

 

[Gin&Tonics]

Outstanding ensemble, Michael! An excellent first post indeed!

My new summer sport coat. Too lazy and too hot to wear a tie today, sorry gents. I'll try harder tomorrow

 

[Baron Kurtz]

From quite a while ago (5 years, to be exact), but I'm wearing essentially the same outfit today. Maybe the shirt's different, but still a white one.

Super soft, super-lightweight grey marl 30s Borsalino, British 30s belted back sport coat pinkish-brown glen plaid with red overcheck, white 40s dress shirt, orangey-brown 30s belt, plain blue 30s herringbone suit trousers, deadstock (at that time) 40s brown brogues.

G&T you need to invest in a nice Panama or Milan to go with that outfit. The hat throw's it all off.

The pinkish hue of the jacket is spot on with those trousers.

Very cool, Baron. Perfection. Your avatar pic messed with my expectations though. Where is the evil grin?

Funnily enough, dark blue and rather on the darker side of grey are the only colours this jacket works with. The jacket colour is so striking that trying to go "up" with the trousers colour/pattern just looks like one is trying too hard …

Michael Finn wonderful complete look there.

Baron: great to see you post there. We've seen other photos of that jacket recently right? Just making sure my memory is not playing tricks on me, I think that is one I really like that you have.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Yes, I don't post many pictures of myself online. I have posted better pics in another thread of that jacket on a mannequin.

In that photo, I'd just come back from a second interview/job offer meeting.

Oh believe me, I'd love to. I've been wanting a panama for some time. It's a case of more stuff to buy than money to buy it with, I'm afraid. My computer is in dire need of replacement for various reasons, not least of which that the vid card slot on the mobo is fried, so that's about 1100 bucks I need to spend in the next couple weeks.

I'll keep searching for one at the thrift stores. ^_^

Looking at that photo, I have to say that it makes the hat look much worse than it actually is. Here's a better shot of the same hat:

Not today, but recently:

At a friends wedding. 1930s Swiss silk tie - shirt by Darcy Clothing - jacket by Ede & Ravenscroft - shoes by Cheaney - trousers by Bookster (copied from a vintage pair) - wife by way of Inverness.

... and cigar by Upmann:

In Berlin last week, after a nice lunch at the Englischer Tee Haus in the Tiergarten. Cap by Bela (Hepville) - vintage cotton jacket - trousers by Spencers (copied from vintage pattern) - modern shirt - cravat by New & Lingwood.

Again in Berlin. Cap by Bela - reproduction British Army tropical jacket - cravat by New & Lingwood. The chain is Edwardian. There's a silver case carrying a cheroot holder on the end inside the pocket. The charm is made from three 1944 dated Dutch coins.

Thank you, dapper gentlemen!
I have trained and trimmed my style since 2008.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Oh, the grin only appears when I'm around small dogs.

Very cool, Baron. Perfection. Your avatar pic messed with my expectations though. Where is the evil grin?

Pete, your hair is not that long nowadays, is it?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Not quite, but I'm growing it out again after cutting it for the Hong Kong spring/summer (boy was it hot that last 2 months!).

Jeez, Pete - it's nice to see an actual photo of your vintage-wearing self. Doesn't happen that often. Let's have more of that! :eusa_clap

That jacket you're sporting in that (old) photo doesn't happen to be the same one as in the photo below (those pleats in the breast pocket...)?

Took this pic yesterday. 98 degrees there, but it felt hotter!

Mario,

That is what I was thinking as well, its a smashing jacket.
