I predict your wife...
You are so...
Normally I'd delete these posts as rude (matt even reported his own post for deletion), but since they're funny and their authors obviously put a lot of thought and emotion into crafting them, I'm leaving them. Feel free to pm me if you think this is the wrong decision, anyone.So nice to know...
The funny thing his how united some of these guys are who once fought over various things. Kind of like matt and nii or matt and Mr D...I like having more old guard back in here. Keep it up, guys.
It did and still does. But it needs pics of you more.I just figured what this thread needed was more discussion of me.
I made the same points in a "thumbs up" comment on Spoo's post before seeing Manton's thoughts. The puffed out chest that causes a U shape was something I used to like. I remember even posting a compliment on it to Vox. But that was before I learned it was indicative of a flaw in fit. It seemed masculine to me, emphasizing a large chest. And while it may indicate this, now it says "small jacket" to me, since... it stems from a jacket that's too small or from a person puffing up his chest.... First question, 'very puffed out chest'. This implies the chest is puffed out and exaggerated. Don't see it, how so? 'Too tight waist': The waist is hardly too tight, perhaps the rise on his trousers is low, but it is not so easy to tell from that picture. Too open above the button, more of a U than a V shape: Despos has a really sharp eye. I had not even noticed the altered lapels until he mentioned it. If he could weigh in I think the criticisms would be more balanced.
This willingness to learn is an attitude I hope we might all have....As for Spoo's attire being of a "very puffed out chest, too-tight waist, too open above the button and more of a "U" rather than "V" shape, overall a look of a short front balance and the impression that the coat is riding up and off the neck." I wonder what you see through your eyes, I wouldnt want to know.
FWIW, I thought Lufty's recent checked suit, looked a lot like you wearing your Solito suits. And I thought it looked good. But then I thought Despos said it didn't... Can't remember why. D?... Lufty's cloths do not have any obvious fit problems and they show none of the issues of spoo's that I identify above. If you want to call all of these silhouette and not fit issues, that's fine, though the front balance issue at a minimum is definitely fit. In any case, I took care to say that I don't like spoo's cut not the fit. I have also said that I am not in love with Lufty's sack silhouette either though I do think it is superior to spoo's and looks more tasteful, elegant, restrained, etc. It also closes better in front, does not look like it's riding up or pulling at the waist. I would prefer to see more of a draped chest with a trimmer hip and a slightly reduced waist on him, a la A&S or Neapolitan drape coat because that is what I like...
Don't forget that what we hate in others, we often have and hate in ourselves... I hope I've explained the puffed chest and U shaped lapel gape aboveMy 'complaints' have nothing to do with criticism per se, but, rather critiques that are vacuous. I take issue with people who make flimsy criticisms and then do not care to offer suggestions or even elaborate on the critique. I've read several meaningless critiques that have no bearing in reality, and, unfortunately, are given undue consideration by dopey eyed undereducated sycophants who nod unthinkingly...
I'm not sure that Spoo has a better body than Lufty, but their clothes do seem to point that way. I think both have different goals given their social contexts, and both do a good job at achieving their goals. But I agree completely with your main point that fit people and people blessed w/ good bodily proportions tend to look better in clothes than others....But what I think might make Spoo look better than Lufty, even when some of the experienced members in here think that in fact Lufty dresses better than Spoo, is that Spoo has the superior body type...:
