Pants are a different story. They don't seem to be draping well, but that's amazingly difficult to get right on a RTW/online MTM garment, so it doesn't look that bad really.

Note the regrettable last minute choice to experiment with brown chelseas instead of my usual choice of black shoes with this suit. A mistake I won't repeat again. Needs to be black IMO.

No, it is not a nailhead. gdl203 already answered this question earlier in the thread.

Agreed. And, there's no need to apologise, but thank you!

I guess it would be too nerdy/specific for most.
