End Of Winter Blues
Well boys, we are reaching the end of winter and while it’s still colder than a witches teet out there, I really love the style that winter brings. I’m such a sucker for a hearty wool, thick boot, and a driver’s cap. So towards the end of my favorite dressing season, I like to go with my trusted Imparali 3 piece around the office as it offers a great look with a jacket:
Made to Measure Suit: Imparali $500, Custom Shirt: Indochino $99, Tie: Vintage YSL: $1, Hat: $10, Glasses: Ray Ban $160
And without:

Dennis,
Loving that Imparali Glen Check 3 Piece Suit! Can’t wait for my Land’s End Glen Check Suit Jacket to come. This suit is probably the best fitting/draping suit I’ve seen you wear on your blog. Brilliant idea with the hunting jacket lapel tab! Now I always try to find a sport coat, blazer, or suit jacket that has the hunting jacket lapel tab. Keep up the great posts!
Cheers!

1/3 done with the sartorial wardrobe makeover bro! I’ll do a review of the Indochino Navy Cotton Suit soon
Here’s the Necessities: (minus the winter boots, I’m waiting for it to snow in Korea before I purchase them http://thesartorialway.blogspot.com/)

DUDE…those shoes are amazing. Where did you get them?? Are they custom?
HAHA…nevermind…just read where you got them on the blog. I’m adding you to my links.
Dennis,
For what is worth, I understand your getting pissed off at the styleforum guys. I’ve been wanting to write this for a few weeks now: I’ve noticed a trend towards pretty aggressive refusal of critique, mostly in your replies to comments which deliver constructive criticism (politely or bluntly).
I try to imagine how hard it must be to put yourself out there the way you do it – I mean it takes a good deal of courage, and getting slammed or simply critiqued is never pleasant especially when it’s public… But I think you would gain a lot to be more accepting of critique, because you have much to learn from a whole lot of people who’ve been at this for probably twice as long as you were born (and that certainly doesn’t include me).
By responding the way you do, you convey the impression of being a little cocky not humble at all. That bothers me as a reader – It’s starting to turn me off of your blog – I don’t like reading the opinion of people who disregard that of others.
Now to finish with a nicer note, here’s a link to some awesome shoes. This brand sells direct, their shoes are of quality that compares to a lot of $400+ shoes, but they are €165.- a pair since they only sell through the internet and their showroom in paris (actually on sale for cheaper right now). I own a few pairs and absolutely adore them.

P.S. I am not affiliated with them in any way at all. Just really dig the concept and shoes.
Dude,
Please read my latest post.
A very big thank you.

Dennis,
I’d be a little annoyed with the maker of that suit. Either the vest is cut too short, or the trouser’s rise is not high enough. Ideally, you’d neither be showing tie nor waistband when wearing a vest like that. While it seems to be the trend in RTW suiting to cut vests too short and trousers with a too-short rise, I can’t understand why a knowledgeable MtM shop would cut your garment like that.
Actually, that one was my fault. I tied my tie too long in the photo and do not want my tailor getting any grief for my own error.
The pants and waistcoat are in perfect proportion. My tie tying skills, unfortunately, are not!
Best,
Dennis
I wouldn’t necessary say that – your tie looks the be the perfect length. And if your tie weren’t there, I’d be able to see your exposed shirt.
But I can plainly see the closure of your trouser waistband below the length of the waistcoat.
Traditionally speaking, that’s a big faux-pas.
Hey, quit staring at my closure, buddy.
I see what you are saying…but bear in mind my tailor goes with the cut that I want. So he fuses his traditional cuts with my insistence on modern leanings.
Suit looks real good, though. You can see more of it here before I had the shoulders reduced:
