Name of Ensemble: Winter Wonderland Suit (Aqua)

Creator: Azriel Demain

Shoppe: Falln

Comments:

This is the third in a series of several entries regarding Wintry Ware.

Pardon the enormous image sizes, but I confess to showing off not only the ensembles, but my recently winterized lands as well. Please do come and visit; Syzygy is mostly open to public exploration and enjoyment.

There is nothing quite like touring through a winter region as an arctic fox while attired in something equally warm — Falln’s Winter Wonderland Suit.

While over a year old, the ensemble is still worth acquiring today, and available in Falln’s usual vast assortment of colours and numerous options within each ensemble.

For instance, I can opt for fur along the coat’s edges (no animals were harmed in the creation of this coat), or a jabot. I opted for the fur — since it’s synthetic (/me winks). Trousers and waist coat are available in white or aqua.

The silvery detail on this suit is truly stunning, as are the rich fabric patterns.

The faux fur cuffs are an appropriate addition and the gloves definitely some of Falln’s best work with gloves.

Once again I would like to draw attention to the silvery trim and exquisite fabric, evoking a cool winter feeling.

As with all Falln flexi coat tails, this one flows beautifully. At times it flows a little too fluidly and the backside of my trousers become visible through the coat when I move certain ways, but it’s a small price to pay for such luxury.

Kheph777 Enoch’s Gentlemen’s Fancy Clear Cane is a perfect accessory to this ensemble, with its glassy shaft and silver details.

An exquisite look for winter, wouldn’t you say? And of course the ensemble strips down into its myriad component pieces, each one capable of being mixed and matched with other ensembles. These trousers are modify as well, enabling easy adjustment for digitigrade legs.

Name of Ensemble: Fur Coat (male)

Creator: Darwin Mizser

Shoppe: AVid

Comments:

This is the second in a series of several entries regarding Wintry Ware.

Pardon the enormous image sizes, but I confess to showing off not only the ensembles, but my recently winterized lands as well. Please do come and visit; Syzygy is mostly open to public exploration and enjoyment. We have skating and… Falln’s legendary twisted snowmen…

This was my first winter purchase over two years ago, and at the time I was quite taken with the elegant fur coat and gloves. I must interject immediately and say that the gloves of this ensemble match very well with numerous other ensembles, making it one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe — especially during the winter season. As quality gloves are a rarity in SL, I urge anyone to pick up this creation.

As an aside, Darwin Mizser has the Fur Coat ensemble in the sale area rather than the main area, for a mere L$200.

As an older ensemble, and one of AVid’s first, it’s quite a bit different from the fantastical gothic creations of the last year. Unfortunately, I find the brass coloured coat buttons nigh impossible to match given my personal proclivities towards silver accoutrements. Moreover, the coat does not extend completely to the waist, which means one’s shirt will be visible above the trousers.  However, it’s still a must have.  And while you’re at AVid, I recommend the crimson/red Viktor.

I opted to wear AVid’s Silver Shirt (from the Striped silk shirts + waistcoat collection) and Midnight’s trousers beneath the fur coat. The silk shirts (which I also feel are a must to add to any virtual closet), can also be found the in above mentioned AVid sale area.

Despite the age, I do believe the coat and gloves are a must for a gentleman’s wardrobe… until something better comes along in the same vein. I do enjoy the fact that the fur is not overly fanciful (yes, this is me saying this), nor is it completely worn. Elegant and stylish — just the coat for winter climes.

Of course my passion for high and wide collars is quite noticeable. The coat bottom’s flexi works well — just a little stiff, as one would expect from this fabric. But the prim coat collar is very attractively styled.

Going to hell? Yes, we are… in a Junk ship, no less.

Name of Ensemble:Candy Man

Creator:Teaa Demina

Shoppe: M’Lady

Comments:

This will be the first in a series of several entries regarding Wintry Ware. It’s a favourite time of year in SL; when landscapes become chilly, foliage is frosty and we are compelled to adorn ourselves in appropriately warmer attire (except for those adventurous among you who are driven to romantic encounters atop the ice — for you, I suggest at least a blanket).

And speaking of sex on an icy beach, these next few entries will take me out of the Photosphere and onto my own lands. This is also the reason that I have not blogged of late — I’ve been a tad occupied transforming four sims in a winter wonderland with my Lady and neighbours. As most of the lands are open to the public, please do come visit any time. Our winterization, while still a work in progress in areas, will be active until March 1, 2010.

Pardon the enormous image sizes, but I confess to showing off not only the ensembles, but my lands as well.

Candy Man was released one year ago, and it is most definitely very near the top, if not at the top, of my winter festive favourites. Fanciful, playful and yet oh so debonair.

The hat is perhaps one of my favourite aspects of this ensemble. Richly detailed and cresting roguishly atop my head — very nice indeed!

I find while wearing this ensemble, the song as covered by Bow Wow Wow, I Want Candy, runs through my mind, at times.

The delightful detail on the hat, again, truly deserves mentioning again. If nothing else, buy Candy Man for the hat!

While I’m not a massive fan of the cuffs (I truly think the design and fabric could be improved upon) it does “work” and I’m not extremely bothered by them. They do tie in quite nicely with the neckerchief.

The high coat collar truly adds to the roguish appearance.

The neckerchief with candy cane is outstanding. The fabric matches well with the cuffs, and I am very impressed with the overall choices in fabrics and colours of this ensemble.

ETA: I cannot believe I initially neglected to mention my thorough enjoyment of the waist coat. The minty green buttons accent this dandy candy ensemble perfectly.

The trousers are perfectly elegant, and the walking stick/cane accessory truly sets off the entire ensemble and lends to its playful imagery. I’ve added XCENTRICITY’s white gloves for that extra wintry effect.

These coat tails are nicely fashioned, even by my fanatical standards.

All in all, a fantastic find. Gentlemen, you will definitely receive long, lingering looks in this ensemble. Have some candy canes at the ready for distribution.
