#PTOman Highlights

Our Instagram followers are some stylish people, so once a week, we like to bring you some highlights from our feed. Atte readies for winter in a beautiful overcoat, while Clifford stays sunny in Neapolitan style. Matt coordinates with his Christmas tree, Mitchell and his family go generationally trad, Mikolaj shows the power of the contrasting waistcoat, and Mick wears the statement safety pin while still keeping it festive.

Think you look good or even better than these highlighted gents? Follow us on Instagram and tag your pictures with #PTOman. Bonus points for full body-outfit shots as opposed to just shoes or collars.

Been meaning to post more on Instagram. Thanks to PTO for the shoutout.

It’s shitty and rainy here in Portland, so kicking it off with a throwback from our late summer trip to Europe a few months ago.

Here I am for the maiden voyage of my Meermin loafers, fittingly on the island of Mallorca. #tbt #meermin #kamakurashirts #ovadiaandsons (at Binissalem (Mallorca))

Spielberg Face

The Spielberg Face is about manipulation. It’s not about showing us something amazing. It’s about showing us the fact that someone else is seeing something amazing, and then being shown how to react. We read the emotions in the face and then mirror them with our own, and we don’t have to see whatever wondrous thing the character is seeing to feel what they’re feeling. It’s description via reaction.

Selling a few pieces on Grailed, including my Epaulet for Styleforum “Doyle” French work jacket. This was a special run in heavyweight chambray done for Epaulet’s fifth anniversary with SF.

went a little too hard on the Unionmade archive sale

on the brightside, i just revamped my shirting wardrobe 

[styleforumnet]

Heavy tailor’s shears hadn’t been made for 35 years.  Last year, a #styleforum member persuaded a factory that had the old molds to make a very limited run. We have fewer than a dozen of these precision instruments for sale.  They are meant for professional tailors, but anyone is welcome to purchase them, here.

Apologies for the poor color correction, but I think this gets the point across.

Before (left) and after (right) of my 3sixteen ST-120x’s after repairs from Self Edge PDX. Some areas were simply reinforced, but you can see some of the more extensive repairs in the crotch and right pocket.

Super stoked to have these back. Now part of the rotation again with another pair I’m working on.

[mattyhis]

And here’s the before/after.

[cityandstreet]

These are my 3sixteen ST-120x’s at about the 1.5 year mark. Took them in a few weeks ago for repairs at Self Edge PDX - photos of before/after to follow later.

They’ve worn in really nicely, with the most significant wear on the back pockets and crotch area. Can’t wait to see how these look another year in.

[mattyhis]

I got my jeans repaired. Here are some photos I snapped before taking them in.

i’ve been trying to explain this sketch to people for years

[real-faker]

there is literally no way to explain this sketch it’s just a thing you have to see and even then I’m not sure why it’s so funny

[mattyhis]

It's hard to explain, but my high school TV/announcements show did a parody of this to promote a fundraiser at this restaurant using their breadsticks and marinara sauce.
