What are you wearing today??

The jacket is actually a little bit darker than it looks in this photo. It's also the same jacket a London shopkeeper attempted to burn three years ago, if anyone remembers the thread I posted at the time...

I like it! Laid back and casual without sacrificing any stylistic elements; the tie, the waistcoat, the hat, et cetera.

Good!

Thanks . That was exactly the look I was trying to go for. The waistcoat-tie-hat-leather jacket look is one of my favourite casual looks next to the open collared jacket.

A nice gray suit, black vest and tie, dark pants, black shoes, and my trusty fedora. Picture soon.

Burgundy gabardine suit:

Fancy 1930s burgundy pajamas from "Bullocks". Note that they're double-breasted:

Fantastic suit, Marc, and so are the deadstock shoes.

Whilst I prefer leather jacket and slip-over with a big flat cap, this looks damn good. It's probably just my northern upbringing that does that, however. I may try it some time with an odd waistcoat - thanks for the inspiration, Alan!

I thought these were striped at first...

I recommend you do as the waistcoat and fedora add a new dimension to the look, and in my opinion by turning it into a smart-casual look it takes away from the obvious Indy connotation the hat and leather jacket might conjure up to some people. Don't thank me for the inspiration, thank George Stone (Andy Garcia's character in the film The Untouchables).

Heh, yes, I remember that thread! Good look. I like mixing in a leather jacket instead of a blazer at times, it's a fun look.

Thanks. If you look very closely at the picture you can see a small dark patch on the right hand side of the picture halfway down the jacket - that's the burn mark. But given how sun bleached and scratched on the back (from crawling under a metal fence...) the jacket is I think the burn mark just adds character . I was going to wear a tweed sport coat yesterday but decided to wear this jacket instead..

It's a great, somewhat more casual, look for this time of year when you might want an outer layer instead of a blazer but it's too warm for an overcoat as well. I've been wearing an A2 and My Halfbelt on and off like this a lot recently. I think it's almost cold enough that my Bootlegger with the tartan wool lining will soon be coming out to play....

Nice hat, you look like a regular snake oil man!

Very dapper indeed. What a wonderful looking couple!!

 

[Gilboa]

@ Sproily : I say, rather dashing indeed!

@ thedanu: My dear lady, very tasteful attire, suits you just fine.

 

[thedanu]

thank you very much ^_^

a better picture of the edwardian outfit will be coming up in the near future, we are having a photoshoot for a project today and I'll be able to wear a couple of real edwardian ivory-coloured boots with it, they're so beautiful and fit so well that I can barely wait to see the whole outfit together

 

[Chasseur]

Sproily and The Danu what wonderful pictures!
