A different angle, for demonstration purposes:

Whether the skirt is too full or not, I cannot say. However, the right (his left) pocket appears to be about 1/2" higher than the others and I feel the pockets are too deep (extend too far downward to the bottom). I say this knowing that I would be THRILLED to have such a nice jacket that fit me half as well. ¢¢

I've been pondering a patchwork tweed jacket recently. I LOVE my patchwork madras jackets and your tweed example is the finest I've seen yet. I guess I'm gonna have to loosen the purse strings again. Lol

Agreed, really great color.

I love my O'Connell's one so much that I am eyeing two more colors I want, but have to give it some time as I can't justify the price to myself yet.

Jeez Louise! That's enough to drive one to run off to 'ye old fishing hole' in a last gasp effort to retain one's sanity! LOL

PS: Just how might one accessorize a "dancing steak rig?" :icon_scratch:

Maybe a pant of your choosing in oxblood?

Tooling around in this desert town, today. Gotta go check out these windmills.

Thoughts on this? I usually would pair this SC with gray or navy chinos. Let me know!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gray, definitely. I'd have to see it with navy to form an opinion.

What a beautiful/handsome family! Thank-you for sharing your celebration of Easter with us. :thumbs-up:

Thank you, Mr. Eagle. The family doesn't behave sartorially as I'd wish, and as much as my wife may speak against the way I dress, she ALWAYS asks for my opinion on anything clothing-related for her and our children. Lol

Nice job on the layering and pattern coordination, Sir. And from the presumed warmth of your rig, may we assume you are bound for points north, offering more temperate predicted daily high temps?

Los Angeles, actually. Lol. I was testing the travel/dress theory discussed in another thread. Nothing noteworthy to report. I packed for warmer weather, so I should be ok. Thanks for the kind compliments. I've had the combination in my head for a couple of weeks and finally got to leave the swamp to try it out.

+1, that madras jacket is really nice.

Thanks! The first step is to admit you have a problem, right? Lol. It's my third. I'll probably end up buying material in several different color schemes and having jackets made of each. I know. I'm sick. Lol

So, that's the song for incoming Summer, but I do not know of a dirge for Summer going away. But go away it does. I am running out of the days of flamboyance that jazz up my Summer looks, but I'll post a few here in the next couple of days:

J. Press Chambray 3/2 Sack Sport coat, J. Press 6 button vest of patchwork Madras with Mother of Pearl buttons, BB OCBD, LE Yellow Tailored fit Khakis, no name socks, AE Woodstock double Kilties with braided bow loafers.

I love it. I have a bit of a problem when it comes to patchwork madras. And I have some yellow PRL chinos that I wear with my madras jackets. Fantastic.

Thank you, Sirs!

Today is my 54th Wedding Anniversary and the Classic Beauty and I are off to the Washington Duke for lunch. Wearing a J. Press 3/2 roll Navy/White Gingham that's been seersuckered and has two patch and flap pockets. The Ferrell-Reed tie was purchased 33 years ago at the Ferrell-Reed store in SF, the town I'll always call home, a BB OCBD, Murray's Toggery Nantucket Reds, no name socks, tan AE pebble grain belt and tan AE Cavanaughs.

The Classic Beauty had a G&T with lunch, while I had a glass of Pinot Grigio

The pants and socks combination is rocking my world. I have to get some more reds [last pair was washed with a brand new (read "full") gel ink pen].

Not exactly trad, I know. My usual objective is a more whimsical and varied, while still conservative, professor look. Preaching on Jeremiah this morning.

These pants are some of the first that I have tapered and hemmed myself (not enough extra for a cuff, unfortunately), so any feedback on them is more than welcome.

One of my favorite ties from Tweedy:

That jacket... As far as the pants, to my eye, they're too close in color to the background. Maybe another shot with a different background next time you wear them would be better for some constructive criticism.

Fantastic vintage coat / great overall outfit. Shoot in B&W and CGI out the fluorescent lights and it would look like '37-38.

Fluorescent tube lighting went into retail in 1938, so just b&w it.
