I miss the late night stops on brick lane for fresh bagels

Happy friday everyone. Does anyone know why my photo quality drops so much when I upload them? They look great when I edit them in iphoto them blah. Anyway, GDL, this is my shortest jacket per the earlier suggestion this week. I would submit it as the reason I think I need R length coats when this is closer to a short. Appreciate everyone thoughts. Cloth bunching at the thighs due to stance...not tightness :embar:

Tangential thought:
Seeing my pic today, I think it makes for a good illustration of the point I've been making a few times about lapel real estate.
The Breanish today was cut by WW Chan before yesterday's flannel.
Between the two, I asked him to update my pattern by getting a tad more shoulder extension and wider lapels.

Side-by-side shows the differences - I do think the larger lapel surface and slightly wider top are more flattering - agree/disagree?

I like the blue one. Proportions seem better overall.

philosophe · Mar 30, 2012

^Definitely agree re lapels etc. Love the colors of the tweed.

bourbonbasted · Mar 30, 2012

I honestly like the shoulder more on the SC. Though I think a closer, "natural" shoulder is more appropriate for SCs or blazers. I agree on the lapels though.

I am no expert but I do agree with you that the wider lapel's are more flattering. Though I like the pattern of the red Breanish coat for some reason the structure of it makes it look very long even though it seems to end at the correct length. This must be an optical illusion caused by the lapel width and shoulder as you note. How tall are you?

Good ****, doc. I can no longer keep silent on this next point, however. Your knots are weak. Every time you rock a nice combo, I get to the knot, and it's just

What part of the knot don't you like? Is it the general skewiffness of the knots? That's not going to change, I'm afraid - I actually really like it when they happen to end up like that.

Looking smart. One thing I can't help noticing whenever you post a pic: you have a fleeting resemblance to Ed Miliband, the opposition leader here in the UK. It's the little things that amuse me sometimes...

New P Johnson casual suit in Dugdale Bros worsted - French navy; three curved patch pockets; light brown horn buttons; half lined - with a brown Cappelli tie

Patch pockets on a suit do nothing for me, all the more so when they're curved like that. Meh. Nice fabric though, and the tie goes very well with it.

I tend to like a slightly longer jacket length, so would say this jacket does look a bit short. However, to be fair, it's really tricky to judge appropriate jacket length on a torso pic. A full-length shot from a reasonable distance makes judging these things a lot more meaningful.

They are just poorly tied IMO; they look as if you just went halfway and stopped! :/ Either, go for no dimple or a proper dimple/fold (single/double) but with a finer touch. Try tying it a bit tighter!

HF: Pretty much what Alex said, but if you like how you do it, then keep on truckin', man. Forgive my aggro from yesterday. I'd just had a hellish commute/baseball/soccer/dinner shuffle with the kids.

gdl: I can see what you're getting at, but the substantial difference in the nature of the materials obscures the point. Both look good, though.

Now, back to my favorite subject, me:

Low-light, low-angle f'length

Blown-out, straight-on close-up

seems like they are charcoal. So i would personally go for a light navy blazer, brown cord jack, or some kind of jacket with a pattern/texture

Thanks, I have a personal aversion to corduroy though. Haha, I may try it anyways though.

Bieber?!
Fun story - a few months ago I was walking home from work through Times Square with my iPod headphones in. Suddenly I heard thousands of girls screaming in my direction out of excitement when I walked down the block. Being that this is a typical response I took it in stride until I realized Justin Bieber had approached the TRL window above me.
Anyway, you're off to a good start for a young guy. Aren't you cheating a bit though - don't you have personal stylists?

Ouch, that's a first. Some one must not be a fan of medium length haircuts.

I really like that tie/shirt/SC combination. I wouldn't have anticipated that combo looking so good. Nicely done.

It's not a terrible problem to have - I would use it to your advantage.
