    Everything looks great. I particularly like the Moon gun club checks. Out of curiosity, did you acquire this Standeven Explorer length on eBay? I am wondering if it is the same fabric as mine. What will you use it for? I was thinking a three-piece SB. Regarding some more playful ideas, I’d go...

    Yes, sir. Thank you, the older I get, the wider leg opening I go for 😂 this one is 22,5 cm at the bottom and I guess it is the sweet spot for me.

    Thanks. I always do reverse pleats - IMO the trousers look more balanced. I once asked the tailor to cut a single forward pleat and it just looked silly, it ended very close to the zipper. I guess forward pleats only work in pairs.

    Okay, I was waiting for the opportunity to take better pictures but I don’t think it will come any time soon, so here is - my new DB suit in navy 21 micron wool from VBC. I am quite pleased with the fabric, it is very breathable, and yet also extremely crease resistant. I was comparing it to...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    From today, a quick drop by my wife’s office. The stairs were of course my daughter’s favorite toy.

    It is pretty heavy, approx. 350g/m. One of the few on the market that have this vintage, British vibe.

    Haha, thank you I am flattered. Indeed, there are a few good tailoring houses in Poland which might be of interest to some of the styleforum members (it comes out way cheaper to travel to Poland than the UK or Italy, not to mention a tad lower prices of tailoring). Of course Zaremba is perhaps...

    Here are some better quality photos of my last commission. All in all, I am quite happy with the dinner suit. This is my first black tie commission (and my first black tie rig for that matter), so I was perhaps unaware of certain do’s and don’ts. In the photos there is a lot of creasing in...

    Thanks! I’ve just picked them up and they indeed look very good after the final tweaks. I am going to take some good quality photos and post them here. As a spoiler, I will just leave a quick shot of the dinner suit.

    My DB dinner suit update. We tweaked the lapels just a shy. I decided to go for a 2x1 fastening despite the longer skirt. I guess it’s because I came across this Andreas Weinas’ 2x1 dinner suit whose buttoning point is also a little higher than normal, similarly to mine. All in all, I...

    Very nice! I like the fabric it seems to drape really well. Today I had another fitting of my dinner suit, mostly to establish the lapel shape, sleeve length and total length. Both lapels will be shaped like the one that shows thoroughly. They will also be slightly narrower towards the...

    From what I understand the satin stripe running through the middle of the braid is the same fabric that will be used for lapel facings. That said, it is very subtle and I can surely imagine pairing these trousers with jackets with grosgrain facings. Now that you shed a little light on the topic...

    Thanks! Sorry for my ignorance. I will leave it in its current form.

    Update on my DB tuxedo - the lapel shape is not definite, it will be basted for tomorrow’s fitting to visualise its final form. Question on the trousers, though… I was quite surprised by the side stripe… I was expecting something like this: But instead it looks like this: I don’t know...

    That’s great, but the sleeves are only basted for now 😀 So far I only went for a soft shoulder with spalla camicia in my orders from this tailor it came out like this in my previous suit I was thinking about exploring something like this: I don’t have any jackets with this shoulder...

    My first bespoke DB suit is starting to shape up. So far, I stick to the basics. I previously ordered a grey 3-piece SB and was delighted with the results. This time I went for a classic DB in navy Rustic Tropical Wool from VBC. The fabric is pretty much like fresco - very breathable and crease...

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    I am currently considering commissioning my first bespoke dinner suit and that is precisely my biggest concern. I was inclined towards a DB with shawl or peak lapels, but I want the jacket to be ventless. I don't have any other ventless jackets to envision how such attire would behave when I am...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    Thanks! It is a bespoke coat in Piacenza camel hair by a Polish tailor, Mr Błoński. Kind of, but the kid’s mine so it should be okay ;) Thanks, it’s my first season wearing it, still getting used to the color. So far, my outerwear was mainly in navy and grey.
