I just wanted to note that in this picture we may be inclinded to look at the fit of Luftvier's shirt, but I think the best thing about this shot is that it shows the rise of his trousers. For what seems like a long time now, the trend has been towards lower rise pants, but I'm struck by how good the higher rise looks. I don't know if the lower rise trend has been the side effect of a casual, jeans-wearing culture, or not, but in the context of tailored clothing and full suits in particular, a higher rise just looks more 'right' to me.

Anyhoo, I know this topic has been discussed before and that it is a personal preference thing, but it's what I thought of when I saw this picture. What are the thoughts of others?
+1. Suits with low-rise trousers look off to me. I don't want to see a belt or part of the shirt when the jacket is buttoned.

Who made the tie?


If its like the others they are from a small shop in korea, I've got dibs on some if he goes back!


this one's a gift from my cousin from korea who came to my sister's wedding
since i had asked her to try to find me knit ties like the one i got before...
of course she couldn't find the shop without better directions but she just bought me this as a substitute

this one is a skinny square bottom knit tie (not triangle tipped and hand made like my other ones)
it's really cheap (under $15) ... but i guess it doesn't look too bad
the keeper tag behind the tie says "KISSA" .. that's it

gnatty, I like the obnoxiousness of the jacket. But the button point appears to be too high.

Beyond that, I think it would work better if the pants constrasted more. That BD collar is doing you no favors. I hope that the square does not match the shirt but it looks like it does.

The shirt and tie don't work together, though.


if the shirt is very light blue, it does. the tie is a bit darker than it appears (but then I guess that means the shirt is a bit darker also) a dark brown wool/cashmere/grenadine tie would have been great

It's not the color, it's that the shirt looks like a check.
