Cloth Cutting Clothes


Got a yardstick, tailor's chalk and shears at hand, and I am dressed to cut cloth in the photo.

In this ensemble, light gray socks pick up secondary colors in the jacket, contributing to a more eclectic look than would a pair of tan. The combination of brown herringbone coat, light blue shirt, dark red necktie with white micro-dots, cream pocket square, cream trousers, and tan shoes has a properly careless look to it in my opinion.

Excellent! I have everything except for those shoes and the pocket square. I may try that look next early spring as it is too darn hot and humid in the south for my herringbone jacket. Still rocking the searsucker suit here.

you would LOVE the J.Peterman clothing company....Here's the site:

But order a (free) catalogue...when you read the copy, you'll thank me. They're quite charming. :)

I take your word for it that the shoes are tan.
Yellow is how they appear in the photo. Also
the shirt looks a bit dressy for the combination.
Is the jacket the one you had recently acquired?
looks great!

Fit is everything and unfortunately Peterman's clothes don't.

Roger, you may want to have the color on your monitor recalibrated. And the shirt is chambray, which most people think of as a casual cloth

Will, I was in Florence Italy this past week. Everyone was wearing linen, saw a linen safari jacket. Did purchase a linen scarf, enjoyed wearing it the first evening to dinner.
