A or B?

You dont actually tell people you post on a clothing forum?

I don't like the "hey I'm trying to look old and frumpy" attempt in "A."

The shoulders look terrible to the point of "hey I just threw this on and I have style" fails. Just look at the indentation on the shoulder... it's as if the padding went outward over the years, turning a decent coat into a shamble.

But what probably bothers me most about it? The fact that most of the stuff in "A" could be found at a thrift shop, as Doc suggested, yet it was most likely all hand made and ridiculously expensive. That money could be well spent on a better fitting and styled look imo. I'm curious about the true age of the pieces in A and their cost.

Along the line we get a little racism/short jokes, people who dress really badly and are shaped like pears come in and make fun of foo, jealously rears it's head and, right around page 42-43, we realize that we have veered so far off course from the thread topic and try and bring it back and start the process all over again. But, I'm just bored and bitter so by all means carry on. I'm sure this time we will learn something that we didn't in the other threads. I've already learned that shoulders on a jacket that droop past your shoulders are an ideal.

Bravo.

Excellent synopsis.

Do you tell people you own a clothing forum?

I thought this thread was about whether we like slouchy or crisp?

A pipe is not a pipe.

When one talks about laying pipe, does one therefore need to clarify?

And here I thought threads by Foo were about Foo. I stand corrected.

You mean you're not on twitter?

A. Ignoring the body type and just looking that the clothes, the collar notch is somewhat dated for me, but B is just a bland suit compared to A.

A is something I would wear if I wanted to be casual, B just looks like I forgot my tie.

Awful thread.

What do you prefer, a half-rotten apple or a photoshopped orange?

Predictable thread Predictable poll result.............yawn

I think not wearing a tie with a suit is pretty bad anyway but if you're going to assert your inner fashionista by not wearing a tie with a white shirt and the most boring suit imaginable it becomes a fail of epic proportions. His sleeves are too long as well. A would happily trade his look for B's if it included sticking B with both his jacket and the extra 50 pounds he is carrying. A's look in terms of texture, color and detail is far superior but his jacket seems to be a true sack in that it was apparently made out of an actual sack. It might look better if the guy weren't standing with his hands in his pockets. I hope so, anyway, because if his button is still pulling like that with his hands at his sides he must have serious difficulty breathing when wearing that jacket.
+1 to most of this. To me a happy middle would beat them both, ergo, Most of the Colours of A with a fit more in line with B. The guy in the tan suit is an example of 'the fourth way'.

There's not so much something wrong with it, but it seems obvious the jacket was measured(?) in days long gone. Most older men get the same looking shoulders when they stop buying suits and start shrinking and stooping. Edit: I chose B for its fit, boring as it may b.

Mmh..., I'll try not to respond to this as to not get the process on its way.

I voted A only because I can't imagine walking around with pins & clips in the back to make my suit fit..

The result of the poll interests me more than the poll because it shows the degree to which the RLBL crowd has taken over MC.
