Tweed: Professor Hot

Now I know this picture is old, and I know, I know, Brangelina have been photographed so many times do they still have souls?!?! however, my feature of this photo has nothing whatever to do with the individuals in the picture and everything to do with the suit of the gentleman.
A 3 piece tweed-y suit with a knitted scarf?!?!  What about Fight Club?  I scoff at you, Tyler Durden, in favor of this gently-befuddled-about-what-decade-this-is-and-lost-in-the-library-because-he-got-locked-in-again-while-researching look.  And yes, in case you were wondering, my teacher-husband would look dashing in this ensemble.  I totally do have a type.  I am currently and forever searching for elbow be-patched (that's Tweed for be-dazzled) 3 piece suits of wool plaid.

P.S. Photo courtesy of the GoFugYourself Blog which I find incredibly entertaining.

Are "Professor Hot" and "Nerd Hot" the same type? I only ask because I've been thinking we have the same type for years and want to confirm it.

I believe that Professor Hot is the nattily dressed grown-up and/or more anachronistic version of Nerd Hot. But they are not necessarily a chronological progression one from the other. In other words, they are very closely related.

HOTTT. My new obsession is with Tweed. However, I have discovered that tweed suits look AWFUL on me. Love this post, but love you MORE!
