Is this coat really purple? Or, is it blue? Nice slacks.

If you die, I want your stuff.
Dude, Tibor, I really liked that you kept the old school cuts on all your stuff no matter how much shit you got for them being "baggy". I'm sorry but this just ain't doing it. Less suppressed waist will look 100x better on you. Find the middle path

that you, iGent is just a term for gentlemen of the internet.
lol, thanks steve. glad you were selling it. it was well received!
nice SC man

Agreed. Though this is from me, who has a personal preference towards sack suits, so take it as you will.
There's too much slimness on here. Many posters here can benefit from sizing up one, or un-doing more severe waist suppression. I was once a slave to the "slim cut". It seems silly in retrospect (I'm looking at you, RLBL).
Yeah- what he ^^ said...
n what I was trying to say earlier re: Cold Eye and Butch wasn't so much whether B was a Y or an X with tapered lower-half or whatever.
This- Waist suppression often looks better in front-on stills, but not so much in IRL.
A well-cut looser waisted jacket - esp in lighter fabrics - doesn't cancel a slender (or not) fig underneath cos other peeps see u in 3D and in motion.
Which is not an argument against bespoke, just that there's a limit to the benefits of waist suppression.
Good to see those U last bad boys out for some air ^^^

Tibor, I fear that I must agree with edmorel. I think that, if you undo some of the waist suppression (to eliminate the "hourglass" look), that you will look better, but your 1930-1940's sensibility is at odds with the local "more fitted is better" aesthetic floating around these parts.
Judging from your photos, there is no reason, other than your personal tastes, for you not to affect the late 1950's - early 1960's aesthetic (a.k.a. the "Mad Men" look) - you're thin enough to make that work, and I think that the narrow-brimmed fedoras of that era would actually suit your face better than the wide-brimmed hats for which you seem to have a deep affection.
Just my $.02 . . .

Tibor, I fourth this(?) at this point. I am struggling with the issues that lufty brings up. Most of my jackets fit me well in the chest and I believe I need to accept that I don't have this huge amazing drop that maybe I thought or wish I had. I am by no means overweight and, Tibor, you are much smaller in frame and stature than me, but I think that in both of our cases a shaped, tapered waist is more appealing than the feminine hourglass look (and I don't mean that in a deragtory manner).
I guess for me, and my jacket today as an example, I am concerned that if I let the waists of my jacket out too much I will appear shapeless and boxy. Finding the middle group Liam references is hard. I think us younger guys overdo the suppression to show "hey we work out, we are not fat slobs, rawr rawr" and in a way it just makes the proportions look off. Blame GQ or culture or whatever but I think that has alot to do with it. I have big thighs, not because I am overweight but because I run and played sports that beefed them up over the years. I also have a slim waist, but accentuating the difference rather than harmoniously bridging the two is something I am trying to learn and accept. Tips and help along the way from you fine gentleman certaintly help.
Bottom line, Tibor, you are a well dressed man with a sense of style and personal identity. More modern interpretations of your aesthetic would be more appropriate than trying to push a rounded peg into a squared hole.
Good stuff.
The Kappelan pose might be overtaking the Spoo pose- The raised arm really adds to the vibe of the photo.
