HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III - Page 2383

Wondering if I should get the waist nipped on this donegal suit I got from Steve Smith off b&s. Sorry for crappy pictures but thoughts?

By your own description, you are somewhat large, proportionately, in the hips, so, unless you can have the jacket taken in straight down from the waist to the hem, I would leave the waist suppression as it is, especially as the style (three-button to two) is not one which one expects a marked amount of waist suppresion.

It looks good as is, from what I can see from the photos - wear it in good health.

If that is a 3/2 sack, leave it alone.

If you don't like it, and are a 38R, sell it to me instead of altering it.

^ It is a 3/2 sack but it seems much slimmer than any other sack I have tried on. I wanted a more traditional looking donegal suit and I had heard good things about this model from BB in the past from people who purchased it. It is the only madison I have ever worn

It is a 41r btw but has a very narrow p2p, fits more like a 40 or 39

I agree with Luftvier and upr_crust: I think it looks pretty much as it is supposed to look on you - you are lucky.

Actually the guys at the airplane engine assembly of RR wear exactly those polos Billionairef is wearing, maybe he got it from there.

But maybe they are just dicks too?

As those guys who assemble the engines are highly skilled and RR a big name in aviation maybe Billionairef is simply proud of what he does.
If it's that way in his place I could not care less to be mistaken for a douche by people who do not even know what RR actually is.

Sometimes even dicks are.

As has already been said, I think the waist looks fine as it is, and I wouldn't mess with it. The sleeves look like they could use a little shortening, and maybe a touch of slimming if that's your thing, but I think that might be too much.

F&$K Mondays!
