Well, you asked for it and here it is - the alternative wedding outfit from last Friday. Double-breasted suit from Graham Browne filling in for the absent Anderson & Sheppard, with Lobb shoes.
My daughter is pulling the face she normally does when asked to give a big smile.
The boutonniere is not exactly small, despite my previous post but one, but when it emerged that I was going to wear a flower, several others became keen and white roses from the front garden were everyone's flower of choice. So a white rose it was, setting off the white shirt and hankerchief rather nicely, I think.
Oh, and before anyone even dreams to suggest an alternative, the shirt cuff showing on each arm is identical and the right sleeve falls perfectly. It's just the position of my arm, ok?

Perfect in every way.
ReplyDeleteMay I ask what glasses do you wear?
Congratulations on an very well written blog.
Thank you. The glasses are from Francois Pinton.
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of knot is that in your tie? It has the shape of a four-in-hand but it is massive in a way I cannot achieve with a four-in-hand.
ReplyDeleteThe knot is a four in hand, I don't like any form of windsors. The Tom Ford tie is a little wide (10cm) making the neck a little wider and so the knot longer. It is also a heavy silk with a good weight lining, both making the knot wider.
ReplyDeleteI hope that helps.
What color/type tie is that? Is it a silk dark grey tie?
ReplyDeleteOverall, very good but I suggest that roses should be worn in bud and the cabbagey types such as this are not as good as tea roses.
ReplyDeleteThe tie is a Macclesfield/Spitalfied, ie a silver tie created by a small checked or geometrical pattern of silver and black. It was traditionally known as a wedding tie.
ReplyDeleteI agree on the rose, as mentioned in my previous post. But when the mood takes a crowd...
What fabric is this coat made up from? Smith's Botany?
ReplyDeleteYep. I wore it again yesterday and it still looks great, three years later
