What are you wearing today??

Always a treat to see you, Nick. Is that the ensemble you wear to change to nappies?? (sorry about that )

Best,
Roy

It was supposed to be cooler today, but ended up being warm. Oh well.

'34 tweed trousers
Brown Clarks brogues
Vintage 5-pocket tweed waistcoat
Modern jacket
Lee fedora
Vintage Rocolla collar
Silk bow

I posted more or less this same outfit in the 'Chavalier helps your outfits' thread, except with black shoes and a white pocket square. At Marc's recommendation I got a red silk pocket square to coordinate with the red pattern in the bowtie.

Thanks Roy, and yep, I've changed nappies in it today, and burped him several times lol

It is risky, he almost got my linen suit last time I wore it

Jamie, the tabbed collar on the jacket is a really nice detail.

And I still need to get a Freelander.

 

[benstephens]

There nice trousers. What do you mean by 34', is that the date?, are they dated inside?

Kindest Regards

Ben

You are braver than I am, Nick. Have you considered one of those sheets that is put around you when you get a haircut??

BTW, how is the little one doing? How is your wife??

Ben, sorry, they are made from the 1934 dated pattern from EvaDress.com.

Roy, both are doing fine, though Cassie's needed some extended rest. She's recovering well, though, just needs to take it easy. William's a very active baby, especially at night!

Cheers,
Nick

Ok I see. They really are a nice cut and the material is lovely. Did you choose it/Source it.

Kindest Regards

I wore this long-tail tuxedo to my father's wedding this past weekend. I had it tailored to fit nicely. The tag in the inside jacket pocket says it was custom-made on Dec 21 1934! I thought you folks might get a kick out of this. Sorry they're kind of huge!

Being a wonderful little sister in this one.

See, and I love this look.

Classic!

That's the 'off-the shoulder' look isn't it?

Careful...the next marriage may be your own...

Only if he or she lets me wear a vintage tuxedo to the wedding!

I'd suspect a number of guys here (myself included) could roll with that, as long as it's not too different from the one you just posted and we wouldn't have to wear a gown... Seriously, looks good on you!

Been waiting for the weather to be right to wear this vintage skirt. An instant favorite. So comfortable to wear, I'm going to trace it off and make a pattern so I can replicate it in similar weight fabrics. This long but not too long length is perfect for dancing and walking as it doesn't hit my shoes to get caught on them or end up grazing the floor to get stepped on either. The square scarf and favorite 40s kelly green hat are also vintage pieces. The fun bracelet is actually a new Kate Spade necklace, wrapped three times to wear as a bracelet! I wore it with the vintage skirt and added the new RL orange belt as this colorful piece says 40s Carmen Miranda to me! I've got the hat covering my un-made up face, 'cuz I went to consult with my deco seamstress today and didn't want to possibly end up getting makeup on my vintage clothes that I might need to try on. Hair was a mess too by the time I got back from there (Oakland) and other errands to have pictures taken... Vintage 40s red long pointed oval nails (needing a fill), and painted tootsies too.

The vintage hat label says "Marshall Fields Debutante Room"

With the hat held in this position, the finished picture for some odd reason makes me think 'toreador'...

 

[Shirin]

I just gotta say, you look so darn cute in that! Your red lips, haircut and heels put total sex appeal to that tails ensemble. Sorry I had to say it!

 

[Shirin]

CiCi, you do look quite adorable in that. What a great dress and shoes.
