Photoshopped the new TOJ Double Rider Vest 2011 on to a random street style pic after someone said:
“I bet a girlfriend version of the dr vest would be a big hit.”
hurhur: is the girlfriend dr vest possible in the future? showed my girl the dr vest and she literally jumped out of her seat. she loved the light grey, black and deep royal the most.
TOJ: yeah of course. We can ‘girlfriend’ out most stuff, it’s just a matter of a design being suitable as a women’s piece, which the vest is indeed.
Monday RAF Blue - Close & Personal
Details: Suit - MTM P Johnson, Shirt - Bespoke Ascot Chang, Tie - Drakes, PS - Herringbone, Hoofs - “Belgrave” Crocket & Jones
* Silk knit tie is 2 tone (black & navy)
** IMO no amount of SUPREME pattern & colour matching can beat the clean aesthetics of a blue suit, white shirt & dark tie. Nothing competing for attention..
*** It appears a few have not worked out that this is a reflection from a mirror hence everything is reversed.. Must be my MostExerent CLEAN MIRROR ;o)
Representing Raw (Silk) Thursday
Details: Suit - MTM P Johnson, Shirt - Bespoke, Tie - Drakes for P Johnson, PS - Kiton, Hoofs - Carmina “DubMunks” for The Armoury
& yes I am “shoving” not folding my PS, as I have said in the past that I prefer a fold to a puff. FWIW a “shove” looks better than a “square” fold in patch pockets, but then this also depends on my “mood” ;o)
* Corporate entertainment is BAD! Though apparently it keeps the world spinning & tailors happy..
Understanding your fit & balance (I posted this last June 29th 2010 - but this will answer the various emails over the last month)

Double Trouble in the land of Invisible Men in Grey Suits
- all my life I was told men of my height (5’7” on a good day) should not wear DB suits.. So much so that I believed them.
- It was not until the last year or so that I started to apply balance & proportion that I was able to convince myself that I & others of my stature can wear a DB
- In my case the bottom 4 buttons are closer, the breast buttons are actually lower than my nipple, the breast pocket set higher & the waisting is also about 1.5” above my natural waist to create an illusion of length & space
- please excuse the disappearing shirt cuffs, not sure what happened as they were there before the pic & after..
Though some rules:
- in answer to the response re my tie, I like my ties skewed as I find the symmetrical or Windsor knots an eye-sore. Just how I roll same as my 5cm or 2” cuffs, not for all but for me
What do you think?
” con Rolinno” - the shoulder role, my preference for formal or dressier occasions.
Unfortunately there is no clear ‘blue-print’ for life other than to just live it.
We all come from a diverse culture & circumstances which do not translate to others as IMO no 2 are the same.
My motto has always to ensure that I have options, to be AWARE of my context, understand my capabilities & to be able to take the chances when they are clear.
Good luck.
GW
