Not an MFPer but my regional health leader (Dr Horacio Arruda) talking about the epidemiological reasons for increasing COVID-19 restrictions...a few days after reducing them. I'm numb to it all but not so numb that I didn't notice the simple cufflink/chunky bracelet combo...

Ok this would be a suit accompaniment for me. Opinions on them? They seem more dressy casual but I think I am liking the shoe the more I see it.

Not sure why there are disagrees, especially without any context. IMO, wear what you want. I think these shoes are fit for a dandy who'd be able to tie in the lace colour somewhere higher up on the outfit (with another accessory, for example).
@JACKRABBITnotsoSLIMS Love the textile of the blazer!1 -

Back at it again with more random, non-MFP men in the wild wearing cufflinks. This gentleman is a comedian who goes by the stage name Blaq Ron Dailey (Instagram). He had a set on KevOnStage's most recent Keep Your Distance comedy show and he commented on his attire. He prefers a vintage look, similar to what he saw men wear when he was a kid (he's in his mid-30s).
Considering the hairstyle and chunky beaded neckwear, I'd say this is neo-vintage. And, he wore it all quite nicely!

Ok all. So I want to find a fun suit (might go tux with fun vest and tie or bowtie) for a pediatric charity event. I want something that might put a smile on a kid or two and I'm fine with it being at the cost of the other adults thinking I'm crazy.
I'm in the US and haven't found much. I don't want to pay what it would cost to have a suit made for such rare use though it would be fun to pick or even design some of the fabric (do printed lining for example).
I found this UK website which has some variety of options but based on the site I'm guessing the quality is not likely great (which is fine as long as I can make it look good for a night) and who knows what duty would be to the US. - https://www.tbdress.com Any of our UK friends have any experience with them?
Anyone have any US shop ideas?2 -

Hmmm although they claim to be UK based I've never heard of them nor any of the brands they claim to represent. I notice on their contacts page everywhere other than the US and Canada is treated as 'International'...0 -
Attending my niece's christening with my uncle and cousin! 😁

Did not buy the classic black coat, ended up going for a more casual look with a blue hopsack coat
Hopsack is good, real good. I have two hopsack jackets - one is very easy to dress down, which is preferred manner. The other is an oddly fancy fabric mix, which makes it something I love, but very niche for wear.1 -

Top model is wearing a jacket too short for him - pretty normal in product shots, but ludicrous looking in real life. Fabric is great though, and it's styled well.
Length of the bottom one is right on.

How were you able to tell? I've heard the coat should come down enough to cover the butt, but no longer than that. I have room to improve my style, room to learn, though. How would you rate the coat I picked up, as far as fit? It's straight off the rack. I vaguely recall seeing hopsack in my early 20s, but I'm somewhat freshly discovering it and it really is a banger
It's always hard to tell from a single photo. Even the longer jacket needs the sleeves tailored, at least based on the one photo.
Covering the butt is one method that works for most men. There's others, like the knuckle curl test. Biggest thing is, dress to the middle, that way you always stay in style. Extremes are something to avoid (super wide lapels or super skinny, super long or very short jacket lengths).
I'll give a caveat or two as I offer any critique. First, take anything I say with a grain of salt, it's so easy to pick apart fit based on one 2D picture. Sometimes the photo is just a bad representation.
The black jacket you have on in the first photo looks like a great fit on you. However, black is fairly awful for most people, especially as a mix and match piece. I'd skip it, as you did, and go for the blue hopsack. That is a cornerstone casual piece.
The fit as photographed on the hopsack is off, and it's hard to quantify how. The photo suggests significant pulling at the button, which usually indicates too small a size at the waist. But there's also a bunch of creasing in the chest, which suggests it's too large of a size. Go down one size and see if the pulling and creasing cleans up because of excess fabric hang. If it gets even worse, go up a size (and then you'll need the non-fitting parts tailored).
Hopsack is great. Interesting texture, light weight, breathable. Way better than a standard navy jacket. You clearly have good instincts, trust that and augment with more good data sources. Nobody figures this stuff out on their own.

I have tried typing a reponse now and can't find the words. A man in a suit is hot, but so is one in jeans and a crew neck long sleeved shirt or soft button up... and yet, a pair of clean sweatpants and tshirt is also great...
I think I may be partial to jeans and a soft button up shirt. (Not too starchy, good for cuddles, but yet a step above super casual).
I myself am casual by nature, so someone who dresses up "just because" would probably feel over dressed around me.
long story short... Yes. lol
eta.. I was going to add the caveat that "clean" is imperative, and yet... I've always had a thing for construction / blue collar worker too... So maybe "clean" as in "not wearing last week's dinner" haha2
