Effendi, all I can add to the chorus of everyone else on this is that I suspect you're really a 6x4 jacket fellow; it would make you look even more refined

However this suit turns out, the process is always eye-opening and I'm certain that your future efforts will turn out to be rather special, since you already have your aesthetic down pat

Agreed on those lapels for Spoo. I'm definitely going that route for whatever I get next, which will be a long, long time from now.

The suit was fun to make. I got worried after seeing complains from everyone in MC, took a bunch of pics and was about to take it to the tailor to be 'fixed', only to find out it's fine and perfectly proportioned as is, with no button problems at all once I axed the top row (the bottom four are indeed lined up correctly). I look better in other stuff but I don't think that this suit is a mess at all like more than a couple tried to say. I think the real moral of the story is don't take bad robot pics.

As far as going 6x4, I think I'm done with making DB suits.

We can only hope it brings the money, Fritzl. It gets lonely standing on the corner all day...

My first WAYWRN post.

The ladyfriend (not pictured, sorry gents) was graduating from university, so I went for something fairly low-key but still lively and appropriate for the surprisingly wonderful London summer weather. At least that was the goal. I can't decide if I succeeded. Thoughts?

^^^^

I like it. I would have gone with a stronger/darker tie, though. It sort of gets lost in the light/the color of your pants & shirt.

Looks great. The camera doesn't pick up the color in your tie very well though. I would have gone with something with a bit more red/orange on the tie to balance with your shoes.

I like what I see here, but would have liked a full shot to pull all of the elements together. The gunboats are fine, and the bow suits the outfit well. Good stuff!

Geez, sorry Holdfast, but a rare miss on this one. I don't care for the jeans (too long and I think I see a bit too much of your package) a whole lot, and the shirt is a little disco. Again, I am gritting my teeth as I say this as you are one of my favorite posters, but...
