Been a while, SZ. Good to see some of the usual suspects still posting.
Black heavy wool hopscotch blazer - Harnden
Grey wool military knit - Cabourn
Dark blue tee - Muji
Black cotton jeans - Attachment
Burgundy cordovan shoes - Alden
Details:
I'm glad you got into Cabourn, really like his work. Good look
christian you've gotten so efficient at pulling off this look that it's almost easy to overlook how seamlessly (ccp pun haha) everything fits and comes together. the gloves add an element of humor which is nice.
CCP is hard to wear in the sense that:
-it doesn't fit most body types and the proportions are unforgiving so sizing well and knowing what to leave on the rack is very important;
-it isn't sold in many places and is expensive;
-it isn't carried off well by most people because they don't have the physical charisma to pull it off as the pieces are rather striking;
-it is uncomfortable and, not immediately aesthetically pleasing.
It is, however, fucking easy to style, easier than almost anything else. Christian dresses really well and looks good in pretty much all the photos he posts (and in person) but let's not forget that, from day to day, a wardrobe mostly consisting of CCP is super easy to wear.
note: one thing that Christian also does really well that make a lot of "SZ" outfit fail in person is that he knows that there are many shades of black and matches them accordingly.
what a fucking amazing few pages. so nice to seem some old faces back. speaking of harnden we need andrew up in here. i saw him yesterday in a harnden outfit that was epicness incarnate.

Tomatous picture is easily the best one here in ages. I hate to use the three letters in my post, but if this does not go to HOF, i dont get it anymore. If space is an issue, I will give up my place there for him without hesitation. And as weekend discussions seem to get more pointless and unfunny than ever, Acephale saves it with an aura that turns brandnames trivial.
Thank you DRRRK, and everyone else that has sent compliments my way. The last few pages have been fantastic: Christian, Rosenrot, 777, beardown, Faust, Acephale and MBD. Always make this thread a pleasure to view
I know I'm preaching to the choir but man, really great fits here lately. Tomatous and Acephale, you twos look gorgeous.
I should get my camera fixed soon so I could shoot proper fits again.. I'm a bit scared to carry it around because the protective glass broke on the LCD screen some weeks ago. :/
