Cutaway collar-block head fail.

Dude would get so much more mileage out of a regular collar, bigger tie knot, and thinner tie.

At least he isn't wearing cuffs this time.

This one looks like the shirt's trying to push his head off of his neck. Its a really odd visual.

It's like he is actively trying to use every visual widening device available.

Beat me to it. He needs a longer collar. Also, if anyone needs to jumps on the unpadded shoulder train, he does. As odd as it sounds, he needs to be visually rounded out. The colors are safe here.

The larger pattern scale on the shirt than on the coat is unusual. Finer houndstooth almost stops becoming a pattern, I guess.I can't say that the mix of color and earth tones really does it for me.

Definitely have to disagree on the thinner tie suggestion - larger men look silly with thinner ties. Don's tie width suits his frame and I think that he would look worse if he wore thinner ties.

A thinner tie will elongate acting similar to a vertical stripe. He is emphasizing being a cinder block by wearing that wide tie, especially by not using a bigger knot, those little knots are exacerbating the issue. His ties are practically square they are so wide. Almost horizontal stripe territory.

I wasn't sure whether I should post this here, but I thought that he looked interesting, at the very least. The following photos were published on Humans of New York: http://www.humansofnewyork.com/

This is Matt Deckard, former Fedora Lounge and London Lounge habitue, and owner of his own (small) business producing clothing mainly in the style of the 1920s and 1930s. He now works as a designer for Stetson Hats:

Is the clothing intentionally oversized, because he doesn't look that fat.

 

[Journeyman]

^ Yes, I think that's all part of the 1930s - 1940s vibe.

 

[LelandJ]

Yohji Gufasd would approve.

I think fashion died in 1926 and his stuff looks like it came afterwards.

 

[doghouse]

I think he overshot the mark a bit, especially in the lower half.

 

[Thruth]

i think darker colours favour DC

 

[Grand Potentate]

Darker is always more slimming.

I wonder if he's put on weight since he bought those suits. This one looks a little small in the jacket and vest.

 

[LelandJ]

Yes, this is the first outfit he has posted that is good!

And the shoulders are softer here for once!

For improvement the sleeves need to be let out at least 3/4" and a less bright tie for my pre-modern tastes.

Shorter shirt collar would be nice too so it would look like he has a neck.

 

[Journeyman]

I would argue the coat is the worst part of the outfit, he got a bit too much bagginess on the bottom for authentic reproduction though. And the shoes and tie don't fit with the era.

Men's trousers were much baggier in the 1920s and 1930s, as a rule - the trend reached its zenith (or its nadir, depending on your opinion of the look) with the Oxford bags, very wide-legged trousers worn from the 1920s:

Hey DC, everybody at DressedWell really like this fit. You should post more dark colours. They suit you

the cheap bastard will buy any smelly piece of oxxford with sad face buttonholes out of his thrift shop

I think it was the in-photo commentary. I was confused myself.

Deckard is sometimes too faithfully anachronistic for his own good. He does it very well of course. I do wonder what would happen were he and Tibor to run across each other.

Well done

PS hemorrhaging and vest pitti-pull but otherwise like the fit. Anyone know what the shoes are?

 

[Journeyman]

^ Yes, the vest is odd (both literally and figuratively). Why would you go for a mid-grey suit and then wear a vest that is only slightly darker and with the same plain weave? Either have a matching vest, or wear a vest that is noticeably different in colour and/or pattern.

I think that the boots are from Epaulet in NY. I'm not sure if they are made by Carmina (as Epaulet used to do a lot of Carmina group special orders) or by another shoemaker.

 

[HenryC]

A navy or even forest green sleeveless cardi would have been a lot better I think. Not a fan of odd vests personally i.e proper vests cut like a 3 pce suit but worn seperately.
