The temps are back to normal here in central California (67 degrees), and I had to dress up for my nephew's in-laws' baptism this past weekend. My brother-in-law wanted us to dress formally for the pictures afterward, so I donned this double-breasted suit from Suit Supply. It's not all the way formal due to the patch pockets and the overall soft nature of it, but the fact that it's a DB and a navy blue puts it in the mix. I decided to ride the conservative middle ground with these tasseled loafers from Crockett and Jones. I have always been ambivalent about this suit as well for several reasons. First off, the length. The jacket clocks in at 31.2 inches (as mentioned before, I usually like it to be 32 inches), and the patch pocket on a formal suit. I initially purchased it as a blazer to dress down but bought the accompanying pants a couple of years later to wear together and apart. It does drape well and is not God-awful tight like the average Suit Supply suits these days. I would wear this same look (with a solid shirt), to a semi-formal wedding as well, and in this, the versatility of a blue suit can be seen. The tie is a grenadine from Drakes, the shirt is an MTO from Proper Cloth, and the pocket square is from Battisti Napoli.

Keeping it going with the springtime colors.. my latest commission from a local clothier..went with an emerald green in a double-breasted look.. I am mostly happy with it.. I like the drape of the suit.. I opted for a structured shoulder (I was going for roping, but their factory in their supply chain did not have the ability to duplicate this look) and a 4 by 1 configuration..The lapels clock in at 5 inches and it's paired with high-waisted pants including the side tab adjusters.. fully canvassed and lined in both the jacket and the pants to aid drape ability...If there were something I would like to improve on in future commissions with this company, it would be the work around the armholes..I think they are a smidge low and it could be cleaned up a bit around it.. overall, I would give this first commission a 7.5/10..the pants are superb and that was a worry that was alleviated..Paired with this orange beauty from Canali.. have had this tie for a while but struggled with what I felt comfortable pairing it with.. most of my suiting is set up for business conservative.. I felt it would work here with spring officially in full bloom and it being Easter.. the shirt is an MTO from proper cloth and the shoes are from Armin Oehler... a whole cut from full-grain calfskin leather on a good year welt.
