What are you wearing today??

[herringbonekid]

good stuff gents. lots of individual looks. this is me channeling the English college vibe.
photo below is students at Balliol college (Oxford), mid 20s.

HBK: is the jacket vintage or one of yours? (the lapel shape makes me think it's one of your own home tailored jackets)

Whichever way, it's a good look!

neither, it's by 'Haversack', Japan. they do lots of 'vintage-inspired' garments without exactly copying one thing in particular.
a philosophy very similar to my own.

Great picture, hbk. Last time I looker haversack offered more military inspired garments, safari jackets and so on. The jacket in the pic fits seamlessly into your outfit.

 

[Patrick Hall]

Well done hbk - that jacket is great indeed. The blue with red pipping is more...subdued than some of those collegiate blazers I've seen. You have epitomized "brooding collegian."

Ralph Lauren "1929" belted back linen cotton blend jacket with patch pockets (even has a cute Palm Beach rip off label on it). It seems to be quite correct in my opinion...even has the correct shoulder seam and higher arm holes I would expect to see in a late 20s jacket.

Do you have more pictures of that jacket? The angle and cropping of the photo doesn't tell much. I am asking because I had very mixed resultswith RL beltbacks. The purple label db jacket was near perfect but didn't fit me. Then I got a tan (polo) linen beltback and it was only so so. Very low belt, small lapels, empty shoulders. It would be a natural shoulder if I had big muscles maybe.

Here's a couple more photos from our night out at the Lake Lure Inn:




My son and daughter-in-law.




Enjoying a Grey Goose Martini, while my wife enjoys a Margarita (which I usually drink at least half for her). It's a hard job, but someone has to do it.

Looks like a classy place, and one that complements classy apparel...

I'll find one or have one taken for you.

Model 1858 Brogans?

Errr... nope.
In the photo i'm wearing a pair of brown St. John'sBay oxfords til I find better Proper leather footwear.
Even though I do have them (all that is left of my CW kit), I shoulda thought of that. Dunno if for dressing a 1910's period that 50 yr old footwear woulda been correct.
Would it ?
CW era brogans in 1910-15 ?

It was hard to tell in the photo and you had the look about you like you might have worn a blue or grey suit at some point. And as far as shoes like that in the Edwardian they are a pretty basic derby style shoe albeit a bit rough but still.

 

[highway66blues]

Yup. That was a purdy crap photo.
A day-to-day look that I aim for is of working-class.
The trousers are a charcoal grey. I love 'em & wear 'em often. The waistcoat is actually gray wool w/ a Lt Gray pinstriping. Goes well w/ said trousers.
Shoulda thought that maybe brogans were still in some kinda use during 1910-15's.
May include wearin' my brogs....will get lotsa looks whit the heel-plates makin' all kindsa racket.

Channeling (or parodying) the 50's today.

I just bought that pipe today, actually. Even though I am not old enough to smoke. (Legally.)

 

[Metatron]

Are the buttons on the jacket white? Looks good. Do the trousers have cuffs?

Naturally!

 

[HamilcarBarca3]

Thank you DH66 It's nice but a friend of mine once commented it makes me look like I'm wearing body armor

Christopher Scoggins, I like the patch pockets and the fabric! Maybe shorten the sleeves a lil and you'll have a nice and serviceable jacket.

Wore this to church today.

Wore this to church today.

I like that a lot. I think that the jacket sleeves could be a tid bit longer but overall a very good look.

Oh, come on, longer jacket sleeves are boring, I always show at least an inch of shirt cuff, it really makes you stand out. I do it more so if the jacket has tappered sleeves.

 

[nihil]

Yes, standing out as someone who can't afford clothing with a proper fit.

However, I don't think HamilcarBarca3's sleeves are overly short.

Of course though to a lesser extent than trousers the sleeve length varies with location and era.

Last weekend I was visiting a classic car event in Baden Baden.
