What are you wearing today??

[Matt Deckard]

I love the jacket... shoes... but jeans don't go with everything.

I'm am pretty sure you were the best dressed guy within the area though.

Agreed.

Schott Perfectos are photogenic as hell. (also: vintage stetson )

LL, I love your style! It's so unique and funky.

Come come you guys, there's no need to make the guy feel bad for wearing a pair of blue jeans.

Come come you guys, there's no need to make the guy feel bad for wearing a pair of blue jeans.

At the risk of being contentious -- a risk I always think that I am going to avoid on web boards, and never do! -- I agree with Jerekson. "Dressing up" blue jeans on weekends with nice jackets, shirts, and shoes is standard practice for many on the menswear boards. It's surprisingly ubiquitous in the "Trad" forum of one board, where mixing Levis and J. Press is no big deal at all. Now, I grant you that the ubiquity of jeans in society can be a little much, and they are often thoughtlessly worn; but there is no denying that they are classic in their way, and a truly versatile piece of clothing (one reason for their over-popularity, I suppose).

So that photo of Lucky Strike didn't hit me in any negative way, particularly in the context of his overall portfolio of photos. Would the outfit have looked good with flannels too? Of course. Did it look bad the way it was? Not at all!

I'm not worthy.

Catching up; the last few days at work before Christmas:

Daks suit, SB3B, one vent
TM Lewin shirt
Cordings tie
Generic white pocket square
Swedish silver/enamel art deco cufflinks, hallmarked for 1932
Emayer steel watch
Santoni wholecuts

Hackett suit, SB3B, one vent
Rochas shirt
RL tie
TM Lewin pocket square
Silver/MOP cufflinks, probably fifties
Fifties Longines Sport Chief, steel
No photo; Loake Twynings half-brogues, chestnut

Sunday:

Dunn & Co vintage tweed jacket, SB2B, two vents
Corneliani button-down shirt
Thrifted silk scarf
Johnstons of Elgin sweater
Dunn & Co overcoat, my dad's
Omega, gold, fifties
Generic corduroys, slim cut
Antonio Maurizi pseudo-brogues

I don't know Mr. Lucky Strike, but I do know that he's has in my oppinion, the most sophisticated style that I've seen on the internet. My own outfits absolutly pale in comparison. This gentleman mixes different Genre's and he mixes old and new pieces in a non-challent manner. All of these mixes flow seamlessly into outstanding outfits. Bravo to you Sir.

Some guy's try to do the sport coat and jean look and fail horribly. Not this guy. He "Nailed" it.

I tend to find myself in absolute agreement with the above statement...

I dig your style, dude. Why dont I see more men wearing nice scarves? I got a silk one back in college from Banana Repbulic. And still wear it among others. I love the fact that I can spruce up my look and still be somewhat pragmatic about it.
ps. what is the fly fishing lapel pin???? What a great touch.

 

[Dinerman]

Black winter cap
'60s/'70s Field and Stream melton wool and mouton coat (not my favorite style, but it sure is warm)
New field and Stream plaid shirt
black LLbean jeans

For those who have requested me to get on the ball and start taking pictures: Well, I still haven't got the right photographic equipment or skills, but I do have this professional portrait taken a couple of years ago. I dislike photographs of myself generally, but I can stand this one. My hair has grayed considerably since this was taken!

I do look like a bond trader.

 

[Jovan]

Nice matching of pocket square and tie.

You make it look so effortless to look nice!!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap
