What are you wearing today??

[Hobart Arms]

@crazydaisy awesome looks!

 

[PADDY]

Had the pleasure of meeting up with Baron Kurtz (BK) yesterday up in Scotland on the banks of one of the UK's finest salmon rivers. Got to see one of the famous 1930's shirts that he had re-created and was very impressed. It's always a pleasure meeting fellow Loungers.

Ain't what I was wearing *TODAY*...more like what I was wearing last week. This is the suit I wore to a wedding, just outside of Edinburgh:

 

[Gin&Tonics]

The suit looks very well on you, Shangas, but where is your panama?

 

[Mario]

Wow...this has to be the shortest shipping time ever from the UK to Germany. It was marked as shipped only yesterday and arrived today, just one hour ago. I strongly believe it got actually shipped on Thursday, but still...a two-day shipping is still remarkably fast. :eeek:

Anyway. I'm talking about the brown trousers/waistcoat combo I won on Ebay UK on Tuesday. Fits remarkably well, I'll only need to let out the legs (probably will have to go with false cuffs) as usual and slightly take in the back of waistcoat at the bottom and that should be it.

Looks like this at the moment:

Looking good, Mario. I don't even think the trousers are too short. They break on the right (from your pov) shoe. Or did you wear em lower on the waist?

 

[PADDY]

As ever Mario - looking sharp! I'm surprised GQ or ESQUIRE havent approached you Gents yet!

That's right. For the photo I wore trousers a little lower that I usually would.

Excellent outfit, Mario. It's a really good combination.

Yesterday, Little Tokyo, Down Town. The dress is a recently finished project, rather simple "vintage" vogue late 40s pattern.

And here's a jacket that you could wear with this outfit:

Mario, i knew those were going to be nice trousers (and waistcoat) when i saw them on ebay. :eusa_clap

 

[Chasseur]

Smashing trouser and waistcoat combination Mario! :eusa_clap

Haily: that dress you made turned out nice!

Dang! I wish I had won the auction. This combo would look smashing with my russet leather jacket. You look swell, Mario.

What I wore last weekend to do some errands. '50s style, nothing vintage but I did get a nice compliment from a passerby.

 

[Chasseur]

Not today but a few week's ago traveling on the train in Alaska. If I lived in a more temperate climate I'd dress like this about everyday:

 

[Chasseur]

A couple of days ago:
RL faux-Palm Beach belted back, bespoke 1950s pattern linen trousers, Retrosport linen cap, 1930s tie and my Cheaney spectators.

How are the new shoes feeling? is it your first pair of Cheaneys?

Yes my first pair. Great quality shoes, I want to get more in the future. I think I'll try the size down next time. In US I'm between a 10.5 and an 11 so it really depends on the maker which one fits me. I got these in 10.5 UK and they fit better with insoles in them, they are a little loose I've found without them. I'll try a 10 UK and see how they are.

It was a hot day out, and I needed to wear a hat to protect my head. I recently gave myself a #7 buzz cut, so it burns a bit easily. Sorry for the blurry picture.

Hatless:

Does a buzz cut look OK with my high hairline? I think my hairline looks odd with longer hair, like I'm trying to hide it. New chinos and desert boots too, recently took advantage of a couple summer sales.
