First thing that grabs my attention is that the waist suppression on the jacket seems unflatteringly high.

Second thing is that your PS looks like it's giving me the thumbs-up.

Certainly correct on the PS (fixed), and as well on the jacket - it is RTW which I brought against my better instincts to a untried tailor who did a poor job taking it in (in addition to a poor job on the trousers). I had planned on having Will Field fix it in November when I'm in town for a couple weeks, but may try somewhere else in the meantime.

probably, you have small feet, but i wouldn't pronounce that fact... ...and burn the socks, please.

I was thinking the same thing about the shoes, but I'm not too concerned about the socks.

Thank you.

That's a very cool "ugly" tie, if you know what I mean.

Thanks. I think it's a West Surrey regimental.

I dig it! It's hard to pull off that color (especially in the summer), but I can see it working especially in historic Philly.

Thanks.

try 3, houndstooth coat, white pants, blue oxford, blue knit tie.

wish i had a better mirror/camera

This coat looks a bit dated - the gorge is really low. Is this a recent make or a thrift find?

Okay! Let's see what SF groupthink thinks about my second suit (first suit still at the tailor).

charcoal with white pinstripe. pink shirt. red tie. white pocket square. full brogues. Personally, I feel that my pocket square isn't folded correctly and should be more flatlined. Yay? Nay?

It's all been said. Keep working at it.

Good to see you again. The shoulders on this coat look really squared off - as if you were a linebacker. I had not noticed this on your other coats. Are you naturally so built, or is it the effects of shoulder padding? I like the otherwise sedate look. Well done.

Is this shirt and tie I got from Kenzo too much?

Yes

I actually rather like that shirt, despite some weirdness going on with the collar. I at least approve of the colour. The tie, however, is a complete no-no IMO.

Yes it's too much. Looks to be a casual shirt with surgeon cuffs to me. So take the jacket off, undo the top button, loosen the tie and lose the windsor knot - make it a 4IH, roll the sleeves up a bit, and wear it casual. See if you can fix the collar points, they look damaged, all bent inwards.

Very dark blue embroidered dragon shirt from local supermarket, authentic(hahahahaha!) Jack Jones jeans from Shenzhen.

I live outside of the groupthink.

Why on earth would you even post this fit here? I am assuming it was an attempt at sarcasm..

VictorSF said:

I like most of the stuff you post Victor but the fit of these jeans is pretty bad.. Are they bootcut fit or something?

What are you going for? If this is for business, you are in serious trouble. If you are doing a hipster Suit and Tie Parody it could be workable, though the shirt is definitely not designed for use with a suit and tie and I really don't like the tie at all. But if you want to walk around with an F-U, This Is How I Rock a Suit attitude, then more power to you.
