As much as the OP has responded to this criticism in an effective manner (with a touch of the humor for which Sheepy is so well-known) , might I suggest that, as the OP is a bespoke tailor, and is in the business of selling his services as such, that "contrived and fussy" is also "attention-getting" - an effective form of advertising. The OP is his own billboard, and his own wardrobe is designed to be visually arresting (even at the expense of being "natural") and technically superb.

FWIW, were the suit for myself, I would forego the roped shoulders.

Note that the inclusion of braces occurred prior to realizing that BB hadn't put in brace buttons (an error I will have corrected in due time).

I continue to be amazed by both the raw count and %age of your outfits I love.

Sort of but in this instance it was more about a Gilbert and George look.

I now know to whom to apply when I wish to change jobs, and wish to become a personal valet satisfied.gif

Yes of course. Though, I wouldn't go so far as "visually arresting." Only heart-shaped buttocks, heaving breasts, or a knowing glance from yours truly could possibly warrant the phrase.

When you are grazing in the meadow, no ewe is truly safe.
