why does it make you look really short or at least really out of proportion?
maybe it's just the pose because you have one foot coming down the step... and the back leg bent
or maybe the pants are super high rise and the vest is short so it makes your torso looks oddly short
and your head looks huge in comparison to the body
not sure what it is
i have not had this reaction when seeing your other suits.. so something seems off with this particular outfit

I'll have to ask Chan about it.

FWIW, the jacket is a lightweight Aquascutum wool / silk mix, shirt is textured white CT Black Label, tie is Caruso, vest is cheap navy J-Crew (and was rapidly discarded as it got quite warm today), and the PS is a printed Japanese cotton square. Not shown: forest green cords, dark brown socks and Moreschi two-tone brown peccary-calf shoes...

For instance, our good friend and local SF hero SnowmanXL gets 20+ thumbs up for various fits. SWD would say he dresses casually. MC would, I think, say that he dresses like a mix of Darth Vader and D'artagnan. Probably acceptable on a college campus or Fashion Week in NY, but not anywhere else (at most jobs, etc.) The point here is that MC casual cannot be SWD casual, and vice versa. I think if both sides realize this, we wouldn't have SWD people posting "LULZ" in the MC casual thread. Do you guys want a bunch of lawyers/doctors/business men, dads and older men coming here and pointing/laughing at the costumes deemed to be the shit? I doubt it. It would make no sense. It would ruin the vibe and steez of this side of the forum.

I think SW&D is more impervious to criticism than MC because it's dynamic and not static. Plus, so many different styles and approaches are offered here, it becomes difficult to target one particular aesthetic and reduce it to being the singular "SW&D Outift".
Actually, I'd be pretty interested to see what the MCers think of Snowman's fits, someone should post some of his best over there and see what sorta reaction they get (someone less lazy than i)

Looks good. Would you care to share your grooming experience, in private if you wish? It seems your facial hair style is far superior to mine.
