Outstanding suede bluchers OD/OT^ Tried to go for a little more color this time. Really liking the English thing for bright multi-stripes and paisleys.

Nice jacket. Don't like the striped odd trousers, the shirt, the tie, or the PS. Sorry :/

I see you decided. Did no one try to change your mind?

If the patterns were further (waaaaaaay further) apart in size, I'd think this might have a chance. As it sits though...it goes beyond FU to F Myself.

, but my eyes hurt. A lot. It's like checks blew up on my screen.

Thnx for all your feedback gentlemen

cliche said:

It's actually not that bad. But the blazer made it to mutch for my taste. The tie went perfect with the shirt, pocket square and the shoes.

I see your point, they are quite exactly the same size.

1. Your sleeves are too long.
2. I think the colors between the jacket and the sweater should contrast a little more. Under different light, I would see them as the same (maybe it's just the lighting in your picture).
3. It's hard to tell, but it looks like the coat might be a tad too long for you.
4. This is a personal preference, but you should consider a v-neck sweater.

Little feedback: I think your jacket sleeves are a bit long.

Thanks for the feedback gents,
1. Are the sleeves really that long, with a french cuff shirt they would probably be sitting around perfectly, I'm not sure though I'll need to check.
2. The lighting is pretty terrible but I see what i mean about both colours being dark and so there isn't much contrast (however navy and maroon are surely quite different?!)
3. Yeah the jacket is a bit long, I got it tailored but when I won it off ebay I had no idea the buttoning point was that low.
4. I don't have this colour v-neck and this jumper was probably the one that worked best with the outfit.

I'm always willing to learn so keep the feedback coming lads
Cheers Nick

Le droit du Seigneur? Yes, but we use it wisely.

didn't know the french had this also. it's widely known as prima nocte.

why do you love capital letters?

It's a fetish. I'm not ashamed of it.

They didn't, but neither did the English, for that matter. Furthermore, in a time when the native tongue of most English nobility would've been French, the connection between a French word and a French right is not so straightforward.

Not the best photographer but I hope it works

Blazer: Loro Piana
Shirt: Eton
Tie: Paul Stuart
Pants: Loro Piana
Shoes: Tod's

The lapel roll seems a bit lifeless, like it's been pressed flat. Which is a shame, because it otherwise looks like a lovely jacket. I bet you can get that fixed, though!

Where do you live?? How are you dressed like that in January!! Very nice summer outfit though! I would have maybe gone for a light blue or pink shirt to give a bit of contrast in the outfit as the trousers and shirt seem to like very similar in colour

Cheers Nick

I love the idea here, but I think the pants are throwing everything off. I'm sold when I look at the picture of just the top-half, so maybe matching navy trousers or khakis would work better.

I really feel that the shirt and tie do not contrast enough... and while I love the idea of quirky riffs on the "rules", I don't think those odd pants are working in this iteration.
