Velvet Jacket
I've always quite liked velvet, but I'd never come across any of it before I finally found this blazer in the Vinnies on Glebe pt. Road. It's Studio Italia I think, quite nice.
You can't see it very much in this, but it's actually dark brown, worn with the bottom half of a grey suit. Were I to take this photo again, I'd tuck the shirt in properly, and get a new belt- it rather has an American not quite fitting into chinos look about it this way, which is a bit sad, because I was quite proud of this outfit. The shirt is actually striped, and is itself also a good find from the same op shop trip. Dark brown contrasted with a brighter colour- bright, dark blues or reds, generally, works well.

Isn't that building horrendous? It's one of the new USYD campus developments. I honestly cannot understand contemporary architecture. Why would you pay for that much glass and then decide to cover it in ugly, opaque green stickers..

Contemporary architecture in its lack of classic beauty and bare functionalism or modern cube art is appalling. I love your post about the postmodernism on your other blog as well.
(and wish my little brother dressed as smartly - well, give him a few years perhaps)
Great Jacket. In fact I'm pretty taken with the whole outfit.
Despite the fact that I have zero information about your character or demenor, I have decided that I wish to marry, or at the very least peer quietly at you for a very long time. Your aesthetic is all kinds of lovely. Smitten! x
Hurrah Timothy! So pleased you have entered blog world with your sartorial finery. Keep up the wonderful work and with any luck we may be able to sway the masses.
