Love the color of that jacket. Unfortunately it is far too short (length and sleeves). Also, and I'm not sure why this is, it seems to have a peculiar drape on you that is a bit off-putting IMO. I think you could benefit from some structure in your jackets judging by how you hold yourself.

Side note, you might want to get the jacket cleaned as it appears there is a rather large stain(?) on the lapel.

EDIT: I think the DYI aspect of the jacket explains the "stain."

i agree....i like natural sof shoulders and higher notch lapels...but this time it looks off. I think a bit of structure in the shoulder would help. or it could possibly be your posture in the pic.

I admit i don't have the best posture, I should probably correct this as opposed to make up for it, as I like the unstructured feel/look. Stain- a drip of toothpaste, later remedied with a shout pen, jacket color is even all around. Sooooo.. black boots or brown loafers????


ill get hazed for this, but those black boots are teh farking ****. the brown loafers probably go better, but holy mother those brown buckle boots are sick. Who makes them?

in the picture it looks like the tip is at least 2cm under the bottom of your belt, which for me looks too long.

i should have been more specific about the contrast, i just meant that the combination of the length/width of the tie and the stark contrast with the ensemble (particularly dark, casual SC) isn't doing it for me.

i dunno, the picture quality makes it impossible to get an idea of how the textures are working together, so that's something..


Yea, sorry, iPhone pictures suck...here's a better pic of the tie (the B&S picture from when I bought it):



the texture is kinda nubby, which personally i think works well with the suede and is casual.

I agree the tie is maybe 1/2" long...I guess it just doesn't bother me that much

Took some pics for the tailor-critique thread, so thought I'd post here, too.

EDIT: I see that one of my pocket flaps got shy. Just do a little mental Photoshopping to insert the flap...
