What are you wearing today??

[Flicka]

My, you gentlemen look very stylish Herringbonekid, that suit is just gorgeous!

I do wish more men knew how to dress with panache...

Gorgeous Flicka!! I love that ladylike in tweed look! Your hair looks lovely by the way, i think the fact it looks natural and wavy complements the severity of your outfit perfectly. Well done.

Thank you! I have a bit of a tweed crush, actually. And today, for some reason, I had flawless waves. Super-crisp. I just don't understand my hair!

You have a little bit of Helena Bonham Carter about you ... very nice

Wow, I wish! Thank you!

Well done, HBK! It's clearly vintage, but it looks classic, rather than costumey.

 

[herringbonekid]

thank you all !

This image seems to call for a desperate explanation/excuse, such as "I missed my bus, because it went by at least four minutes before it's supposed to! But I... I... I... won't let it happen again. Ma'am."

First go ever...

Me today (I snapped it myself with my camera phone so sorry for quality)

Tweed jacket, tweed A-line skirt, charcoal knitted polo, pearls and my grandmother's brooch. It's cold here today but I'm very snug in this.

For some reason my hair came out really weird today. Too few rollers is my guess.

This was from yesterday. Not too dressy, but the tie is beautiful. Very ornate!

Pant, shirt, cap - modern
Tie and suspenders - 1930's
Pens - 1950's

Yesterday was my 20th wedding anniversary. So we went out for the evening and I wore the same suit I wore for our wedding. I've put on weight, so it doesn't fit as well (plus the suit shrank slightly after an incident in a rain storm), but at least it still fits comfortably. I didn't wear the original tie since it needs cleaning, but I wore one that was a close match. I also wore very similar boots - the original ones had been eaten by our old pet dog! (Before you ask, no my wife didn't wear her wedding dress!)

Here's me in the suit in 1992:

You'll notice the left sleeve appears long - I was between shoulder injuries when the suit was made and have been plagued with shoulder problems for the last 20 years. I choose not to think about it these days. I guarantee that if I had all my sleeve lengths changed I would be guaranteed to have another accident and find myself back under the surgeons knife!

I like your tie and clip (I have a couple different sword clips myself!)

Here's me, well, yesterday. Wearing my incredible "new" Hollywood jacket courtesy of my exchange with Nick (resortes805)!

You look terrific in that suit even after 20 years. You are a very romantic gentleman. CONGRATULATIONS!!

Had dinner tonight with dear friends I used to work with. It's finally gotten close to something approximating cold in the swamps of H-Town.

 

[Red Leader]

Here is what I wore the other day:

And today a light blue dress shirt, tan slacks, and a charcoal grey/black/blue 1950s tweed sport coat.

 

[Mario]

Love that jacket, Gene. Well done!

 

[metropd]

My webcam seems to be suffering from the same problem as Mario's camera...

-American 50s suit (it's actually dove grey with red flecks)
-British 50s waistcoat (charcoal grey with a windowpane check)
-50s tie
-60s cufflinks

Alan, my dear friend your style has evolved drastically over the past few years. You are spot on.

 

[metropd]

Big Man you always look great

Too cool! You own it!

Everything you do is timeless and so tasteful. By far one of the best posters on the lounge.

Cold, rainy and windy here today.....

Herring, you're wearing DBs these days? I thought you didn't like them … Looks great!
