Which SF RTW-wearers do you like as much or more than your favorites (if any) who use bespoke tailors?
This will be unpopular, but here goes: Manton's look . . . requires more money. Cashola.
I'm not posting my tax returns so don't ask.
kthx
Name the guy who posts who has as a premise that things don't have to fit.

This issue the board has with exuberance and the like is plebeian-esque. If you can afford a good bespoke tailor and don't have to worry about dressing to a conservative standard, then you are most likely quite happy with your station in life. Then again, a little exuberance in your suits is different than having blinged out lapels. Point is, conservative business dress is not the pinnacle of dress or isn't necessarily an Aristotelean mean, har har. Social norms in the workplace preclude my purchase of several pairs of gator skinned lobbs, or else I would wear them with impunity.
I have a low right shoulder, it can be quite obvious in pics
But not, of course, when you are wearing one of your perfectly tailored bespoke suits.
Right, but that's why it is instructive as a comparison and is part of the reason why I do not agree with DocHolliday.
Look, it's an early litmus test for survival in forvm-land that clothes have to "fit." Name the guy who posts who has as a premise that things don't have to fit. No one, right? This Kool-Aid is in little paper cups at the SF-MC door and everyone drinketh as they enter.
Iammatt has been spanking guys who have adopted the motto but not the result. "No, dude...my **** does fit! I'll prove it...here are more photos!" ORLY? That button is about to pop off and take out an eye, my friendo. And no, it's not different "in motion."
My point goes further. So, everyone drinks the "fit" Kool-Aid...then what?
I don't see why we are comparing bespoke to RTW. Next topic please.
