Re: When bespoke wishes and fabric dreams go wrong

Wildean?
Perhaps I'm going too literal rather than literary with this as I was reminded more of a forme frustrée of X. Trapnell from Dance to the Music of Time with his lightweight summer suit and too short pants in winter, covered by a military style drab overcoat. He also carried a walking stick, but had an ivory skull on it and yes, it hid a blade.
I think you hit it on the nail with precious vs bohemian, and therein lies the problem, how to square the two. A difficult tightrope where slight missteps separate sublime skill from funny/sad pratfalls.

This kind of thinking gets my goat. Come on Will.

Why bother to wear a pin stripe, or any stripe for that matter if you are concerned with minimising the impact of the stripes? Plus who matches their shirt to the stripe in their suit?

...save yourself the trouble a wear a bloody solid instead.

Re: When bespoke wishes and fabric dreams go wrong

Stripes are co.mon here. Possible seen as co.nservative and perhap old fashioned mainly due to all the young cats mainly wearing only solids these days.

Comments from women? I only seemed to get asked by women to help their men shop and dress. I always refuse. Less than politely. I routinely just mumble when asked where I got something. After one woman I worked with would go out and buy her bloke exactly what I had when I told her where I got it. Same shoes even. Bah.

Re: When bespoke wishes and fabric dreams go wrong

I haven't worn a striped suit since the early '90s.

I think if I were to go for one now, it would be brown flannel -- would white or grey stripes be better?

Pink stripes or white.

Theory always seems to follow practice, at least outside the scientific world.
