IвЂ™m particularly proud of this spearpoint, since itвЂ™s something IвЂ™ve developed at Ascot Chang. The amount of blue also brings out the extremely subtleВ blue windowpane in the suit! My outfit is also toned down in comparison to previous years (remember my wild brocade)В but itвЂ™s definitely the classic Ethan weвЂ™ve come to know, especially thanks to the pinned blue stripe spearpoint and the navy silk dotted tie. ItвЂ™s different than the flat caps and fedoras you normally see! The staining does bother me a bit, but overall, I think itвЂ™s time to let someone else enjoy this suit! ItвЂ™s very elegant (not many people wear light grey suits) and serves as a great example of mid 1930вЂ™s tailoring: narrow shoulders, horizontal peaks, high buttoning, short jacket length, and wide/semi-flared legs.ДЄdding the beret ads some European flair that IвЂ™ve obviously been digging this year. I already had the buttons moved over a bit for more room in the body and the trousers were already let out and let down to the max. For one, the armholes are really high and the sleeves are trim (I should stop working out!). It appears to fit rather well, but I find it a bit too slim for my taste. Famous for its inclusion in my Articles of Style interview, it was one of my first vintage suits, purchased on eBay for around $40 the seller either had no idea what they had or people thought it was smaller than it actually was. To emphasize the вЂњend of an eraвЂќ, I decided that this was going to be the last outing of this 1930вЂ™s DB belt back suit. Like Spencer, I also wore a (mainly) solid DB. Lastly, he adds in a chambray cap from Monsivais Co.

SpencerвЂ™s look echoes Ethan NewtonВ and Winston Churchill, though instead of a 3-piece, he echoes the вЂњhigh closureвЂќ (needed for bowties) with a DB. Like IвЂ™ve noted in the hyperlink article, bowties are eccentric and help make a vintage look in a more obvious way than just a striped shirt and a patterned tie. While a navy suit and a blue stripe spearpoint is not a huge surprise, Spencer did make the unexpected move by going with a bowtie. The dark, solid suit represents a bit of a shift with our personal style, as we tend to prefer separates and rugged ivy (see DrakeвЂ™s) for daily wear and something a bit more conservative (see The Armoury) for suiting.

ItвЂ™s definitely a classic and a piece that is definitely more subdued compared to previous Dapper Days, like the time he wore the tan Palm Beach suit or his summer separates from this past spring.

Spencer wears his 1940вЂ™s blue micro stripe DB suit. But that didnвЂ™t mean that we were going to skimp out on our outfits! Spencer I already mentioned this in the last Dapper Day post, but I thought it was best to revisit it in this one especially since weвЂ™ve decided that this past Fall 2018 was going to be our last one.
