Looks very good. Hard to judge the fit though.

At least in this photo the ensemble is not to taste. Less is more. Like in your DB fit above.

Apropos, recent comments regarding the poster once known as Foo.

This post, for me, still rates as the greatest post on SF ever:

Standards have slipped a bit since those days.

If you do the Flusser rule where the button point should be in the middle of the floor and the top of your head I think you will see that this is a touch higher.

Yeah - I'm gonna see Chan this July, see what we can drum up

Not familiar with that Flusser rule shog[1].gif

care to elaborate?

However I did cut him off at the estate sale for a recently deceased NYC socialite whose clothes he was collecting. He was on line ahead of me with a notepad that had certain pieces he wanted to target for his collection, so I beelined right for them and bought them. Carry on.

Trousers are always going to be a bit tricky for you b/c I think you're slightly bow-legged, which makes it difficult for them to drape cleanly. But overall, I think I like this suit the best from the ones you've posted. Shirt/tie combo is great for the colour of the suit, as well.

Thanks for the compliment! Yeah I had a talk with Despos about trouser balance/drape on bowed legs. I'll bring it up to Chan, I'm sure they've got a fix

"Nice combo, but jacket sleeves seem a bit long in the full-length shot."

"One of the nicest shirts I've seen. Great tie (and knot)! Good stuff, sir!"

Thanks fellas! Upr Crust you're right about the sleeves, they are a little long. But considering this is OTR and completely unaltered, it's nothing short of a miracle it fits as well as it does. nod[1].gif
