Your neck is nekkid!!!!!!!!! :facepalm:

I've called the 'decency league' they'll be by shortly to write you a citation.

Much better mang - that tie was not werkin' for you. The more I thought about it I also remembered I'm ordering a chestnut/caramel colored silk grenadine tie for just this same combination - forgot to mention that one perviously (pun).

The lack of tie is compensated for by nicely-fitting jacket.

I've noticed that you often choose dark pants with a light colored sport coat. I think your outfits could be improved with pants lighter in color than the coat. I know Manton and others are not huge fans of grey sport coats, but I think they can sometimes look good with light tan pants. It's just finding that right shade of tan.

Way better, not only because of the color and pattern/fabric of the tie, but because I also thought it was too slim.
Nobody mentioned the breast pocket so far? Haven't seen a lot of them on SF, no offense, but always thought they were a sign for OTR shirts worn by engineers and public servants?

funny, because i actually prefer a pocket on my shirts. I take my jacket off when i get to my office and need a place to keep my pen when im walking around my building. Its not a huge deal, but if given a choice id probably pick a shirt with a pocket

Thanks for the suggestion :) I think you could be onto something. I definitely need to widen the colour palette a bit where trousers are concerned.

Lufty, I like that earlier sack suit a few pages back. Looks like a good vintage. Who made that one?

Most of my jackets tend to do that. I'm a 38" chest and 34" waist. It's tough to find a good fit OTR.

I think you need extended shoulders as all of your jackets make you look wide in the hips, I'd go custom as suggested and ask your tailor for extended shoulder to make you look top heavy.
