^ That's quite a look of determined optimism going on there Pete!

For whatever reason the shirttail poking out from beneath the cardigan kills it IMO.

What can I say, Brett; things are looking up and so am I.

This is about as robbie-esque as I get, so I'll take your word for it. Better, or worse?

I design and cut my patterns, I leave manufacturing to a favorite gentlemen's tailor of mine. I will admit my photograph was pretty ****, and that I didn't show much of either piece...

The shirt itself is not a 'styleforum special' insanely tight shirt; it's French fit with shoulders that fit up above the shoulder points, a fitted front and blouse-y back, relaxed arms, large reversed box pleat that expands when you split your shoulderblades. Small elegantly shaped button down collar and small barrel cuffs. It's a shirt that can be worn several ways.

The shorts are insanely detailed, made by hand, with a nice shape. Single pleats that extend to the top, no belt band or loops, side adjustment with button tabs, small cuffs, slash piped-edge pockets, unlined super 120's wool in a tropical weight with cotton pocket bags that cover most over the interior area.
Here's some detail pics of the shorts:

fly backing and inner waist band (cut on the bias for strength/a bit of give) are hand joined, as are a lot of interior details:

Also, Pinky pants, great fit.

this jacket is sweet. I love the fact that it's done in cashmere and lambskin soooo luxurious.
since I also make some of my own clothes myself too, I know how laborious it is to make stuff so kudos to you.

Is Willy Cheesesteak the same guy as I<3Bacon?

I'm sorry if it's an insensitive question, but all asians look the same to me.
