What are you wearing today??

[Shangas]

Awesome outfit! That is the bluest coat I have ever seen!

 

[SteveAS]

Only the eyeglass frames are vintage (models), but here 's me and my love at a recent Christmas party. Between my Champagne and my date, I seem to have been in quite a good mood!

Thanks to the lovely Lounger Idledame, here is a sharper image of last Sunday night's outfit:

I think this may be the best tied bow ever seen on the FLounge.

Last of the Christmas parties tonight:

1955 Vintage Anderson and Shepard three piece in lovat blue, vintage 1940s quail tie, bespoke shirt, kum-apart snap cufflinks, late 19th century Hampden pocket watch, 1990s Johnston and Murphy leather and linen spectators, and my 1940s Dobbs 20.

With my better half in our local vintage store,

The first two photos were taken posing in front of the elevator in the wonderful Stangenwald Building on historic Merchant Street. Built in 1901 it was the tallest building in Honolulu until the 1950s.

It's getting cold and we already saw some snow. Time for tweed an knit...and evil scientist poses.

Finally ... an acceptably clear photo of my tuxedo getup! (I promise it'll be the last one.)

 

[rue]

Denso... very nice! Love that cardigan

Chasseur... you and your wife look lovely!

Floey.... you crack me up! You look dapper as well

and Marc.... no matter the quality of the picture, your style shines through. As always, well done!

Very good! And now I'd like to know what evil schemes you're dreaming up there...

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

"Must...have...more...suits! HAHAHA"
...




PS: Variation of the same outfit but different sweatervest,tie and shirt. Excuse the crooked cuff on the trousers:

 

[Mario]

Great look! Let me guess. That photo was taken while you were studying in Cambridge back in 1932? Tell me: was Alan Turing really such an awkward chap as everybody keeps saying?

I'd love to see you guys taking a few vintage snaps downtown at the Royal Hawaiin and the Moana Surfrider etc.

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

Haha. No it was taken last Saturday before we visited a George Grosz exhibition in the Max Ernst Museum in Brühl. Grosz is one of my favourite artists.

Alan Turing was the first person that came to my mind too.

Great look FFF!

 

[Mario]

Geroge Grosz! Well, your choice of clothing pretty much fits the timeframe.

 

[Mario]

Alan Turing was the first person that came to my mind too.

As it happens I just read an interesting book about him called "The Man Who Knew Too Much" by David Leavitt.

I've read that, amongst many others. Good book. I directed a production of the play Breaking the Code, about Turing, last year and had to do a lot of research, including a trip to Bletchley Park which was fascinating.

I'd already be fascinated by the architectural mishmash of that incredibly strange building...
