Okay. Round 4 of wannabe's sartorial success. Leggo!
Round 1, 2, and 3:
Most of the advice from the last round was about the pants and jacket being too small, and the jacket body being too suppressed. It took a picture of me in a suit to realize, "****, my suit is too damn small!" I've tried to address these issues in the this round of my climbing the sartorial ladder.

gray herringbone with faint thin red stripe 3-piece suit.
pink shirt.
3.75" red/navy/white striped tie.
burgundy polka dot PS.
silver skagen.
brown quarter brogues.
The only things I did on this suit was to lengthen the sleeves, lengthen the waistcoat, and re-cut the trousers. I also asked my tailor to lengthen the pants' leg opening by 3/4 of an inch, which I think solves my "your pants are too skinny/tight" discussion. The jacket is also about 1/2 inch longer than Round 3's jacket, which I feel fits me a little better.
Yes, no, maybe so? Comments and suggestions are always welcomed!

Your best one so far. A solid colored tie and a smaller knot would have made a huge difference.

Your best effort so far, assuming that this is the sartorial path you wish to take (herringbone three-piece is pretty serious stuff for a guy your age). I am not too fond of combining pink, red, and burgundy. With a three-piece you want to use braces as your belt will show and bulge (on a closer look it seems to be your tie, tuck it under your pants or tie it shorter). Jacket is still on a tight side, but you can easily wear a three-piece with the jacket open. Nice improvement.

Thanks for the suggestions man. I'll definitely try a different color combo next time.

Wannabe: Getting better all the time! In the first picture of this latest round, it looks like the button on the jacket is being tugged and stretched too much, as if the jacket is too small. But from the back, the jacket doesn't look to slim at all... thus, I am ambivalent. Perhaps just leave it unbuttoned.

Oh, and get a different pocket square for this look. Navy would probably work, but as Jamesgatz pointed out, the pink/burgundy/red doesn't really work.

Keep climbing.

Yeah, the jacket seems to pull a bit on the front. I won't be doing this color combo again, and I'm glad to be working on colors rather than fit.

Good idea. Thanks for your suggestion, I'm going to do a FIH or a thinner half-Windsor next time.

wannabe, def your best so far. i would like to see the outfit as a 2 piece and with a white shirt. its awesome, you took all the critiques in stride and kept trying to learn and do better.

I will definitely try to wear this as a 2-piece in the near future.

Pieceofsand said:
Although this is not the best here on SF; however, it is definitely your best. Keep it up buddy.

Thanks for your kind words.

Is this some sort of Mr. Sam mash up where he put your top on the body of a 7' man? What the **** is going on with the rise on those pants?

Thanks CD!
I really like how your trousers, shoes and socks tie together in your latest post.

To be honest, it´s not that often that I have people around to photograph my clothing.
I´ll make an effort to post more in future though.

I also agree, Drudged looks excellent.

Can't deal with the slowness of getting from one page to the next here anymore. Will glance-in every once in awhile and see what's 'cooking', but I'm done with regular check-ins. Happy New Year, gents... :slayer:

Upr_crust, unflashed. In response to a suggestion from a poster on this site, and in light of the favorable reception of unflashed photos in the WAYWRN MC casual thread, I decided to try today's photos (except one) without flash. Results are as below - details are harder to see, but the wattles under my neck are obscured as well - a benefit.

Suit - New & Lingwood
Shirt & Tie - BB
Cufflinks - Metropolitan Museum of Art
Shoes - To Boot Adam Derrick
Overcoat - BB
Scarf - Paul Stuart
Hat - Weatherproof (showers this afternoon)

With some medium brown boots, this would totally rock.
I appreciate where you were going with the blue boots, blue socks, blue trousers, blue coat, blue sweater and blue patterned shirt, but enough's enough, man.

I'd agree about the blue if I were wearing that much. The sweater and the uppers of the boots are blue as are the part of the socks and a stripe in the shirt. That's it.

Brooks Bros suit (rose pinstripe) and tie
Ledbury shirt

Merry post-Christmas, gentlemen!

As promised, a suitable red replacement tie.

Nice, maybe change the pocket square but overall you look sharp. Are those AE Van Ness?
