So here it goes, every time I set my mind to altering how I shop and spend, I find the perfect jacket. Although I have a couple tight houndstooth jackets, even in an earthy color range, none of them are this golden, none of them so warm to the eyes…
For me, it was pricey, but that just means it was nine dollars… The maker is Geoffrey Beene, and the cut is excellent on me. The shirt was found at the same time, half-off and is by Land’s End. They have a durability and weight to their clothes that I appreciate and their cut is always generous in the shoulders without fitting like a tent. The tie is Tommy Hilfiger, and of a nice, thick silk. The cable-knit sweater vest is John Ashford. The two have been sitting for awhile waiting for this to happen.
The fact that all that yellow is so peaceful together makes me happy; so does the fact that the dark blue flowers on the necktie match the trim of the vest and the pinstripe of the shirt exactly. I have stuff like that going on a good amount these days, and it keep my mind humming along as I go. So does the houndstooth on cable-knit on stripe, with a floral tie… I have greatly been enjoying the mixing of my patterns and textures; it should be obvious. But, lately, when I can do it in a monochromatic fashion, I am good to go.
Perhaps, I could call it my sartorial orgasm…
Would sartorgasm be too much?
