What are you wearing today??

[cpdv]

I found it off season on eBay for around $90. Im not too familiar with the company but I love norfolks and I needed a warm weather one.

I don't really think of the straw boater as the hat to be worn in Texas!!!

Love it (even though I don't really like boaters).

Thanks TT - wearing one down here is not for the faint of heart. Given the preponderance of that OTHER kind of hat, you'd think folks would be more inured to the effect, but you'd be wrong.

I wore this new jacket today.

Does anyone know the name of this sleeve treatment? The history of it? This jacket belonged to the Burbank Studios Wardrobe and the vents were sewn shut too so what period is the jacket trying to emulate?

 

[lordwinters]

Hey, was that the one for sale on ebay last week?

@Hamilcar

A barrel type cuff would be called ¨French cuff¨, this one has an overlap with buttons and resembles what would be called a ¨Swedish cuff¨ (at least on uniforms).

Patrick's boater photo inspired me to post this. This was a couple weeks ago...

nothing vintage but the tie (brocade 30's-40's)

I approve of all uses of Boaters I wear mine almost exclusively during the summer. I often get asked if I'm in a musical group haha but thats alright.

I like these patch pocket style jackets from this era. Does it have the straighter cut sides?

Beautiful sport coat. Would you call it a houndstooth with blue windowpane? Takes some skill to wear a jacket like that and not be loud, but you nail it with the pattern matching

Nice, sparing use of seersucker Tommy, and kudos on the boater!

Relatively straight, but not too straight. It has a bit of waist, but not too much (i.e. it can still fit me in).

Thanks. I don't know what I'd call it. It isn't quite the traditional houndstooth in that the weave is very loose and textured. I've never been sure about this jacket until I wore it with that tie. Suddenly everything seemed to come together.

Notice the flare to the jacket. It's one of my favorites made of a lightweight tweed of olive brown and tan herringbone with orange and french blue pinstripes. The shoes are Allen Edmonds Hamptons which are a rerelease of one of their original shoes from 1922. And despite it being not as comfortable as later collars the high rounded starched to death collar is my favorite look. I thought I pulled off 1922-24 pretty well.

Good job sir! Absolute killer jacket.

1930's belted back suit. Was photographing myself and a very friendly swan came by to say hi.

Nice! I'm not a big fan of the black and white spectators to that grey suit, and I don't think that the cap work with this either. But the suit is great, seems to fit well, and I really love the shirt.

Looking good, HS. Is the shirt polka dot? I'd like to see a close up of it.
