Eton Shirts are compelling

Ushering in the warm weather- Warmer weather calls for lightweight pieces and in a lot of cases, brighter colors. I had to revamp my wardrobe eight years ago when I realized that a lot of my wardrobe was grays and blues. I believe that most of us that are sartorially inclined, go through this process. We build our staples as a foundation and when that is done, we ask what's next. We then see pictures of stylish people at Piti or wherever, preening in bright colors and interesting cuts, and then we identify the next road that we would like to travel. My road was similar. It took me six years to build the staples; the blue solid suit, the mid-gray suit, charcoal gray suit, pinstripe blue suit, pinstripe gray suit, the check suit, and then a cotton suit. Then in 2013, I decided I wanted to invest in some true summer pieces. This blazer falls under that path that started in 2013. This blazer is from Luciano Barbera Collezioni, made by Attolini. Beautiful shoulders, hand-made buttonholes, it's just a masterpiece. It is 100% linen and partially lined so it's a great spring/summer staple. I have worn it with white linen pants, and softer blue linen as well and it works fine. Here I pair it with these light gray slacks from Samuelsohn for work to ground it for a work setting (hint if you want to wear a loud piece into an office, gray pants will usually work best to ground it for a business casual look appropriate for the office). I also felt like playing around with colors, so I am rocking this red linen/silk tie grenadine from Seaward and Stern with the wool/linen pocket square from my local custom clothier, R Douglas. I believe that the red accents the dark burnt orange pattern in the suit. I anchor all this with the solid blue shirt from Eton, to provide a blank canvas for all the other items (akin to the function of the gray pants). To finish it off, I wore these beautiful shoes from Paul Stuarts Stuarts Choice. I believe this pair was made by Grenson. As typical of some English-made shoes, the leather is still stiff, 7 years later. But the burgundy color compliments the burgundy red tie. All in all, a louder business casual look but it still works.

A simple classic office look for the win-Worn for a meeting done sometime last week.. I aimed to keep it really simple with the classic pinstripe suit, thin pinstripe shirt, grenadine tie and whole cuts for the meet. This suit in particular, made by Caruso, has its own back story.. this 3 roll 2 beauty was originally made for an NBA player.. he never picked the suit up, so it was sold to a third party who reached out to me, being that he was local and could not figure out anyone who could fit the dimensions of the suit. The player in question was 6″11 and I am 6″9 (with my hair, lol)..so the longer jacket at the time (measuring all of 34 inches from below the collar) and sleeves (30 inches) sort of worked. I had it tailored and wore it for five years with the jacket being longer than I liked. I took it to my tailor late last year and finally took the plunge to have it shortened from 34 inches down to 32.75 inches...We both decided that anymore than that we would throw the balance off from the pockets and the front/back silhouette. When I took the suit to my tailor 6 years ago, we also decided to recut the shoulder pads.. while they were soft, at the time, they did not conform to the slope of my shoulders adequately. My tailor did the best he could and I am 95% satisfied with the outcome. This suit is from Caruso’s mainline, which is on par with other mainline products from the likes of Zegna and Canali which I found interesting being this was supposed to be a made to measure product for the athlete. Mostly machine work throughout the suit, which is fine to me. I have their higher line from Parma and there is a big difference in quality between both. Overall I am happy with the suit. Classic proportions that veer slim but not unnecessarily so. The back is pretty clean and the suit drapes well showing off clean lines, overall. Also included in this fit is my favorite grenadine from Jay Kos and the maiden voyage of these whole cuts from Spier and Mackay. Good Year Welted with full grain leather. Can’t beat the price and I love the shape of the lasts... Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/centralcalisosa/

DB part 1... FIRST OFF I AM 6"8.5 (6"9 ON A GOOD DAY)..I think that is important to note with this particular post..I just had a DB commissioned with a local clothier and got it back a couple weeks ago.. at the same time I purchased the pants for this DB sportscoat that I have owned from Suit Supply for a number of years..took it to the tailor and got it back.. this post is a 2 part series.. I will be talking about the limits of RTW and OTR and comparing the two.. this first post starts with Suit Supply.. WHAT do I love ABOUT THIS SUIT? I love the wider peak, the soft shoulder, the shirring of it at the sleeve head, and the fact that it's blue... it gives me ultimate versatility and utility where I can break them up and wear them separately..WHAT I DO WISH I COULD IMPROVE ABOUT THIS SUIT? The length of the jacket (it's a little short for my tastes), the gorge height (I like something a little lower), the patch pockets (this is subjective), and the dang pants.. I have slim legs but these are cut so slimly that if you have any kind of leg muscle, it's over with.. In the next part of the series, I will post the made-to-measure DB I have received, talk about it and compare it to this.. SUIT: suit supply (havana).. SHIRT: eton..TIE/PS: r douglas custom clothiers..SHOES: paul stuart..WATCH: omega seamster (vintage)

Paul Stuart-I wanted to highlight this company because of my ambivalence when it comes to their products that I have happened to own or handle and the respect that I have for the brand. To be honest, a lot of it was vintage and I was not thoroughly impressed. Their jackets were super long in my size (even for me with my tall self), they were single vented and the cuts were uninspiring (this being their mainline, not their Phineas Cole stuff). Many sartorialists may have access to a major market like NY or L.A. However, I do not have that kind of access. I have a relationship with some S.A's in a lot of the department stores in San Francisco and told them to look out for different makers for me, one being Paul Stuart in a modern cut. This was important to me because Paul Stuart is an American brand that gets overlooked by Ralph Lauren because, you know, its Ralph Lauren. Last year, one of my S.A's told me they got a brown, light flannel DB from Paul Stuart and it was on sale. I purchased it, thinking that I was going to get it and send it right back, unhappy with the cut. To my surprise, upon receiving it, I was pleasantly surprised. Its a lighter flannel that I can wear in the late falls and light winters we sometimes get here in Central California. The shoulders are structured, only lightly so..the length is spot on..the pants (I wore at the beginning of the year in a post with my family that some complained were to high waisted), are a very high rise with side tabs.. all in all, one of my favorite fall pieces in rotation..SUIT: paul stuart (flannel)..SHIRT: eton..TIE: saks..SHOES: crockett and jones..PS: battisti napoli(wool)..WATCH: omega seamaster...LAPEL PIN: nordstrom
