Looking very sharp Sdot! I really like the blue of that tie...

Thanks man. It's from JCF, got that one and the black knit one both for like $20 with the current sale (30% off, free ship).

Money look. Very Italian sort of aesthetic you've got there with the contrasting shades/textures of blue and soft shoulder coat. The pocket square mirroring the contrasting blues of the shirt and tie is quite well done.

May I ask where you got that blazer? Looking for something similar to fill a hole in my closet.

Thanks. I was kinda hesitant with the pocket square with that tie...but i said what the heck.

Got the SC from BR last year. It's the modern fit, had to get it tailored slightly. Doesn't fit as good OTR as the tailored fit.

Very nice SDot. That blue really pops. nice fit on the jacket also.

SDot you are pure class!

@Sdot, very nice. Definitely Tumblr #menswear material

@SDot I must say I am impressed. The pocket square is really nice.

Trying out a new combo with the L.E. Donegal tweed blazer that is becoming my go-to for the season. Still can't believe I got it for $125 and it fit perfectly out of the box. Even my exacting tailor said there were no alterations worth making.

@Sdot: Looking sharp! Is that a cotton jacket? Makes me think I need to go get mine altered and start wearing it now instead of waiting for spring.
@TomasR: Excellent news on your donegal jacket. I actually had the same experience. :-) Did you get the pants, too? I got a pair, but I haven't had them hemmed yet. I'm going to get them cuffed. Even then, though, I expect that the jacket will be getting plenty of use even without the pants.

And to both of you... I've never been a fan of knit ties, but shots like these are starting to bring me around.

@Acousticfoodie
Thanks! That's actually the length I keep my beard at. I sometimes let it get pretty grizzled, but my hair gets more and more wavy the longer it gets and the beard loses its smooth appearance as a result. As for your look, once again...sweater/shirt/tie combo is aces.

@alan
I didn't get the pants as I tend to prefer blazers over full suits. I'd look way out of place on the job rocking a full suit. I also haven't really gotten into the wool pants thing yet. Still trying to find my style footing while avoiding purchases I'm not 100% sure about. Out of curiosity, how is the fit on the pants? I always get my pants tapered, but how are they above the knee?

Also, KNIT TIES FOREVER.

@TomasR: If you're not sure about wool pants, I wouldn't even begin to consider these. They're itchy like the jacket except there's much more skin contact. They're only half-lined to the knee so the full backs of your legs will itch up a storm. That being said, I found the fit to be pretty good. It's a beltless pair of pants, but it has built-in adjustments on the sides.

@Acousticfoodie: I really like that shirt and tie. I like the way cardigans look on other people, but I don't feel like it's a look I can pull off, myself.

Thanks @alan. Yea, it's cotton...BR. I thinks it's ok to wear in the fall months as well, especially on a 60deg day like it was when I wore it.
