Putting it all together

[jamespowers]

I can see the photo I posted.

I can't see it. [huh]

It looks good because the jacket is the center of attention. The pants are pretty much out of limelight because the stripe is so subtle.

 

[Wild Root]

No, you've got it wrong Ray, I'm the center of attention! J/K

Matt looks good in that coat, it really suits his style and taste. The tie works with it too but, I think there are other ties that would work ummm, better.

We need to find you Matt, some dark brown pants to wear with that coat! I think that would help out a lot!

Oops- Sorry, Rob. The comment was directed to Paisley.
Your right about Matt's jacket- fits the context, too.
What kind of fabric is that jacket made out of, Root?

P.S. Do you guys worry about grass stains on your vintage?

 

[Wild Root]

Oh, I was just having fun with ya!

Matt's coat is a very vintage like tweed! You can learn more about it in this thread.... http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=5290

Carry on!

PS. About sitting on grass in vintage.... they had grass even back then. It's ok as long as it's dry and you don’t drag your butt.

So, ray. You're seeing the image Paisley posted? I'm not getting it here or at work ... I'll take your word for it that the combo works.

I can see Paisley's picture at home; I checked at work, too (just to be sure--really!!!!) and couldn't see it there. The combo works well.

Thanks Root; it's a nice jacket. Like Matt said, if they fixed the armholes and perhaps made the lapels a little bigger it would be perfect.

That and ditched the leather elbow pads and upper right yolk patch. I'm not a big fan of those details even though I know they did have them in the 20's and 30's for hunting but, when ever I see those on a coat, the theme song from "Three's Company" comes on in my head.

If J Peterman made this coat without the vents and the leather details then, count me in! Oh, and made it a whole suit and made smaller armholes so, that's when I'd buy it.

PS. You're welcome!

Some pictures from over Christmas break while visiting different places in Taiwan.

Don't you love it when you can influence your peers to dress like you?
My friend Ed came to visit us in Taiwan from New York, and I guess I made him feel under-dressed...
The jacket is from the 60's and the fabric is quite fuzzy. (Marc, this is the suit that I was talkign about a while ago where I couldn't place what the weave was.)

It looks like this in close up:

The pants are brown corduroys from Gap that are now just barely too short for me.

Thanks, geo! 'Tis a brown Stetson Whippet, probably from the 40's but most likely from the 50's.

[Matt Deckard]

Ah whippets!

 

[Mr. Rover]

Wow- great look, Deckard! I like how the textures contrast, the tie's being much bolder than that of the sportscoat. The rough-textured (flannel?) pants tie it all together..very cool fall look!
