I think I know what you mean, fritzl. It's in the details. The waist of the C&J's (I'm thinking of the Belgrave–337 last) is a bit more pronounced, and the curvy stitch lines along the sides are more fluent; those lines are more angular on the Greve's. All in all, the C&J's are a touch more elegant, but don't fit me as well, unfortunately, hence the MTM experiment. I'll do a one on one photo comparison with my Belgraves one day.

Perfectly understandable. I can only speak for myself, but i definitely value the critic of master dressers more than junior gents (not saying that i go in the first category).
The thing with knit tie knots is that the fabric is of loosier and lighter construction, which makes it harder to get it to dimple...

Well done, titsworth! This should be our next challenge. Post pics of an outfit along with a fun background story.
We'll call it the J. Peterman Challenge.

I don't think I can agree with this enough. How would that be implemented though? Would we come up with stories and be judged on how well they fit the outfit, or would we put the outfit together and have other people come up with stories (as in this case), then compete on that?

Hello all, The sleeves are a little short, I know. But what say you of the colours?

Those were just awesome. The Madonna one was funny, but I like each director's take. I should go through them again...

I actually really like the colors, but yeah, jacket's too short all around. Swap the tie for a solid brown or navy to ground everything.

^ (MaybeItsHate): I think that with those colours and patterns the short sleeves do work! Very creative and 'cool' dressing there!

Ethan desu: my (mixed) linen blazer never wrinkles that nicely at the sleeves but only on the front....
