What are you wearing today??

[esteban68]

Like all of that Mattface...except the bowtie not because there's anything wrong with it I just dislike bowties apart from black or white tie.....'re shirts I have the exact same problem , I move the collar button over almost to the edge of a 17" collar and it gives me just enough, realistically I need to drop a bit of timber too!
The belt is great and I am sure it 'll wear in soon enough, is the buckle a Hickock item? I've been after one with an S on for a while now but you don't seem so many over here!

Thanks! The buckle is a Giant Grip (I think that was a name used by Swank for their belt buckles), but I also have a Hickok one. They are very similar. I'm loving this style of buckle, and they are pretty plentiful around here. Are you looking for a particular initial?

Never heard of that brand it's a ringer for a Hickock, I've been looking for an S for a while to take roughly a 1" - 1 1/4" wide belt.

they all seem to be for 1" belts.

Nice Anthony.

Thank you!

Really well done Anthony. I am a fan of using morning dress waistcoats with appropriately dressy suits. And the gold tie against the blue (green?) pencil stripe is lovely.

Many thanks, Patrick. I was thinking it might be a bit busy? I am considering a plain shirt and darker pocket square next time. The stripe in the shirt is, as per your first surmise, blue. It is an old collar-attached shirt which began to wear out, so I had the collar taken off.

Nice combination indeed - around 1941 in Germany a double breasted light waistcoat worn with a dark striped suit was the fashion.
I would stick with a white or pastel shirt with white half-stiff collar, white pocket square and a more brightly colored, but subtle-patterned elegant tie.
I would't overburden it with the collar pin. The chain watch and bright waistcoat are effective enough.

Thanks for the comments on my last picture, I appreciate them ~ The quality of this picture is pretty bad because I had to do some serious editing since it came out so dark.... I'm pretty sure I've posted a picture of my coat before, but if not, here it is; JC Penney plaid belted coat from the 1930s. I'm very fond of it!

 

[Fastuni]

What a color and very well combined!

Many thanks, Patrick. I was thinking it might be a bit busy?

It is certainly maximalist dressing, but the plain pocket square limits pattern fatigue, and the jacket pinstripe isn't so loud as to compete with tie or shirt. I think you are just the right side of busy, which is a sweet spot, IMHO.


Love that mackinaw HS! Another great look.

That waistcoat really take the entire outfit to a whole new level. Well done!

Wow!!

I'd be very fond of it too, if it were mine. That is a superb coat!

that's a bold outfit in winter!

Vintage peak lapel navy rope stripe suit, vintage doube-breasted buff linen waistcoat, James Meade blue Bengal striped shirt, vintage Renown soft point collar, Liberty Tana Lawn cotton tie, vintage collar clip, gold silk pocket handkerchief.

That looks good. A bold choice.
