Thanks. It's kinda hard to be imaginative when your dress code states dark conservative tie, dark suit, white shirt and black shoes!

Loving it. The colors really work great with your skin tone. I think that many darker skinned people try to use colors that complement their skin tone, and fail. You've totally succeeded. The lapel roll is beautiful. I think the break looks fine. I'm getting a little tired of having almost no break. But, alas, I just went to the tailors today and am having two pairs of pants hemmed with virtually no break.

Very nice outfit.

What do you mean more saturated gingham?

Cheers

Very warm in SD, so I'm bringing back some summer clothes.

Bespoke Optimo Fedora
JV jacket

Well, hopefully this picture won't offend too many people.. Although the tie certainly is not SF approved. I swear it doesn't look that bad under normal light.. But it certainly has some... interesting patterns. I tried photographing some of my other ties, and my darkish red knit tie comes out almost bright orange under my camera's flash... Anyways, hopefully the distance from the camera is far enough to get some accurate feedback on jacket fit. My arms are also in a more natural position compared to my last one. @Niidawg, I think it may have looked like there were pitch issues because of my stance, but I could be wrong.

Excellent! I have a lot of friends who are going to enjoy seeing this.

Agreed. I had doubts about the shirt when I put it on, and then I thoroughly regretted it after seeing the pix. Still wanted outside opinions, though, so I posted it anyway. Thanks for the critique.

Jacket fit looks very good to me. Can't judge the length, though, without a full-body shot.

Well, that was a bit more weird than some of your posts, Tibor. Want to try again?

Shoot in natural light, not flashed. It makes a big difference.

Jacket fit looks good to me.

Please consult Threadbearer regarding ties.

However, what I see often when I see your fits is just too much of a good thing. I am all about loud from time to time, but when you gild the Lilly to the point of excess, it cheapens the whole look and just makes you look somewhat anachronistic. It also is just somewhat overwhelming to look at. How about a muted tie, and standard spread shirt with barrel cuffs and let the suit do the talking? You have some nice stuff and I really think if you were more careful about choosing the individual elements, it would have a better overall result.

I did attempt to look in my shirt drawers (at least the more current rotation) for a standard spread shirt with barrel cuffs - the only ones that exist are constrast-collar shirts which I did not care for coordinating with today's suit, or were button collared shirts, which I do not wear with suits. (I was more than slightly bemused by this revelation.)

However, taking your criticisms to heart, and assuming that they were made with the best if intentions (and I do believe they were), I have "dialed it down" a bit today, though most likely in a manner which may not be to your taste. That remains to be seen.

Here goes nuthin' . . .

You might want to try to straighten out the knot just a bit. I am not one to fuss too much over my knots, but this one doesn't look too good.

The collar of this shirt is great and deserved a longer knot instead of the windsor.
