Very nice colour combination, nice cut and fit, beautiful lapel. As you say, the tie could be shorter and without the ugly penor, but it's undoubtedly a very nice look.

I'm not happy with that shade of green in the tie, or maybe the amount of it compared to the blue. A fractionally smaller green stripe would hit the nail on the head. But preferably not a striped tie at all.

Still a nice pair. Pleasantly wide considered the nowadays standards.

Long time since I've seen the dangling belt look.

Sorry, he looks like a sack of shit. Far too much cloth in the upper of those pants Once the crease goes in a cloth like that your fucked.

Thats not a belt Pimp, thats the extended waist closure. Either the buttons fell off or, he's not done it up to pretend he's going for the sack of shit look after realising his pants have totally lost their shape.

I like the colour of this jacket. Does anyone have any idea where I may find something similar?

I think H&S have some stuff in this color. I need to check a couple ranges to let you know.

It's a range.

Its a book of cloth by Harrisons

I think he is referring to the guy in jeans.

Why do people wear DBs open?

ok i don't recall running into that "name" before. so if its not a brand and its not the name of the manufacturer, does it have any significance other than as a descriptor?

The book originally had cloths made out of a mix of Linen and Mohair and so is a kind of portmanteau of Linen and Mohair.

I've had several things made from that book over the years. It quite an old book relatively speaking.

How do I do that?

Piacenza do a wonderful herringbone shade in that colour. Not as wide a stripe of course. Great touch.

God, I have a jacket from cloth from that book. It was discontinued years ago. 8oz summer jacketing IIRC.

thank you! thats what i was trying to figure out.

Nice jacket, shame about the effete slip-ons.

Another nice attire of the same guy.

I disagree. Linen typically creases, it's part of its charm. I also like the roomy, old-fashioned cut of those trousers.

I don't think that denim shirt belongs in that outfit. And the tie just can't be tied properly given the disparities of fabric and the collar spread.

These all look dreadful. Is it a 'who can look the most disreputable and scruffy ' reality show?

That looks ridiculous

That looks ridiculous

Great colour combination, bold but not flashy, nice cut and fit, classic brown plaid cloth and grey flannel with the little extravagance of the denim: what's so ridiculous about it?

Extravagance can become eccentricity, Floris. But this is basically just a mess. On its own the jacket is okay but the combo is nasty.

I respect your opinion, Sammy, but I like the look. As always: de gustibus non est disputandum".

Except when the tie is too long, of course.

There is certainly no law determining what is good and bad dressing. At the end of the day, it's art as we all know. And art matters so having disagreements over what is good art and bad art is a worthwhile pursuit.

Urbancompo has gone for that late 40s/early 50s Italian look. Got it pretty bang on tbf. 500g pants in the Italian summer though. Phew.

I wonder if trousers are going to go that baggy over the next couple of years? Not in my wardrobe, that is for sure.
