What are you wearing today??

[CdnDandy]

Sorry, no camera available, but here's a quick sketchup:

Shirt has hand-stitched tattoo-styled roses, and around the neck are my lucky dice.

Today, like most other days, I'm wearing my work uniform of a logo t-shirt tucked into black Dickies with nonslip trainers.

Well, to start off I am wearing a cranberry sweater-shirt(shortsleeved, c'mon its like 70 degerees down here!) and a pair of sailor jeans and a bandana that has sailors and bathing beauties on it in my hair. Sorry no picture. I feel(or make that felt, until I smashed my finger fixing something on my bike ) like a Rosie the riveter today.

Like Orgetorix, I decided to go with a bow tie today. However, as usual, he is much more stylish.

 

[Jovan]

I wouldn't say that. I actually like what you did. The light blue was a nice bold move, and it looks like your shirt's stripes match. Furthermore, the bow tie and pocket square are complimentary without needing to be cut from the same bolt (which I personally think looks tacky, and which many otherwise well dressed guys do for some reason). Only thing I might have done is a solid black square instead to lower the amount of patterns; I try to keep it to two.

Overall, don't think you're any less stylish. You did a good job of putting thought into an outfit and pulling it off with nonchalance, like usual.

Today I decided to be a little more casual. I've been working tons lately (Hence baggy eyes), so it feels relaxing today without a tie. Thanks.

Very nice look! I like it- you look like a writer in the French Riviera who's been up late writing with a glass of absinthe at his side....I'm a bit of a romantic.

 

[Mr. Rover]

Very chic!

Here I am again in my Hart Schaffner & Marx vintage suit with a light gray odd vest and my dark gray fedora. Today I decided to use a linen handkerchief instead of a pocket square since I was wearing a brown tie:

Today also happens to be a brown shoe and silver jewelry day, so I wore a vintage pair of bi-metal Japanese Ground Self-defense Force cufflinks:

I also wore a vintage Seiko 5 series 7S26 movement wristwatch with a navy metallic dial and gold accents:

Tis the season, buddy! A nice casual ensemble, particularly the watch fob. Very nice touch.

Very nicely done! I'm particularly fond of .... the green square. You thought I'd say the Blackwatch bow, didn't you. It's very nice too.

Extra style points for the fresh pressed (and maybe starched) shirt.

Swedish pea coat
green mountain hardware shirt
'50s tie

I really, really, really like that hat.

Like Orgetorix, I decided to go with a bow tie today. However, as usual, he is much more stylish.

I love the blue tonal ensemble you're working -- and the Churchill dot bow is dead on -- well tied, with the knot the correct size (i.e., not pulled too tight!).

I'm loving the bows today!

As if you don't see enough of me already...but this is a unique 1920's cloche with soutache embroidery and a fantastic interior label (note the arrow with the word FRONT), deco-era ribbon treatment and the banded sewing on the brim. I took a lot of pictures because I assumed people watching this thread would be interested in the details. And every time I smiled, I mussed up the photo.

I'm not convinced this looks good on me, and would be willing to sell it for the right price.

I wore this with my 1930's coat and fuzzy wool sweater underneath, banana republic hip hugger wide leg tweed pants, pink and black embroidered lace stockings and reproduction 1920's shoes.

Working on Saturday (As usual...

Today I'm wearing one of my too-long suits and dark gray Borsalino fedora again, this time with a vintage U.S. Customs Service OIA (Office of International Affairs) organizational tie, my Balestrino single-breasted overcoat draped over my shoulder and a black button-down sweater vest from Uniqlo:

Here's a close up of the OIA logo embroidered on the tie base:

There's a pattern of tiny black dots located on the upper portion of the tie, but none located by the symbol.

Today's watch selection (black shoes and silver jewelry day) is a vintage 60's era Citizen "Seven Star" 23 Jewel wristwatch:

I've been working on the crystal (a thick glass one) on and off with newspaper and Brasso/Maas as it was terribly scratched, so it currently has a slightly distorted and waxy appearance. I'm going to continue working on it until it gets 100% clear.

Finally, today's cufflink selection are vintage sterling silver inset with a small rhinestone. They are unmarked, so I assume they were produced locally...

I'm not convinced this looks good on me...

Be convinced. It works.

Gorgeous hat VB--love the "front arrow" too.

I always really enjoy your posts. I love seeing the little, authentic details that you blend together to create a truly multi-layered and unique ensemble. I can't speak to anything I like in particular because I like the overall execution so much!
