Obviously, the post you quoted was not trying to make an objective comment on OP's looks. That must have been obvious to everyone reading this thread other than you.

Obviously, the most you commented was sarcastic in nature and attempting to be comical. That must have been obvious to everyone reading this thread other than you.

First of all, learn how to spell. Second of all, the post I quoted was typical of the rather useless comments made by a particular poster which add no value to many of the threads he posts in. If you can't make sarcasm funny, you should learn to shut up.

Oh, you've noticed this pattern too?

First of all, learn the difference between spelling and grammar. Ummm... no "second of all." I did screw that up though... not sure how that happened. Oh well. I would take it one step further and say that all of our posts were pretty useless.

Almost immediately. It just took me awhile to say anything.

"The most you commented." Please forgive me if I assumed that you misspelled "post" in that sentence. I suppose it is possible that you made a much more bizarre grammatical error.

I'll give you that; it borders on schizophrenic. I suppose that's fair, I meant to say "the post you quoted". Like I said, I'm not sure how that happened. Really ruined the whole thing.

Fair, and nothing personal. FWIW, I really don't care if you can spell or not. I just think certain people (not you in this case) need to be called out for useless posts and was mildly annoyed that you seemed to not get what I was actually targeting with my post.

Mods, please feel free to delete all this nonsense. I'm sure it won't harm the thread or prevent OP from getting the answers he wanted.

Interesting Fit, then again what is the cost and who is it by? Few suggestion play with it to give it more flair.

Coat-Image one & two: although the fit is ok on the shoulder, it is unacceptable on the waist and hips. You'll notice from the side shots that the bests are awkwardly laying. One way to remedy it, is to put of a vest and unfasten the buttons.

Pants-Image one & two: this appears to be a skinny fit with boot cut opening. Is there a different fit for pants? Perhaps more sleeker fitting shoes, that doesn't look as bulky, or something to go san-socks with?

Either way, don't worry about how others might perceive you, they will be too busy with how they look to care. Enjoy the party, a little bit of the weather, and rest will be fine.

Thanks everyone you've been really helpful.

you already look better than 99% of the male population.

To be fair if Ivar had seen the face that 99% would be revised downwards very quickly

Personally I'd be a little pissed if I had to buy a light colored suit just to wear to someone else's wedding and would buy the cheapest possible thing so I can just wear it once and relegate it to the back of my closet. I'm sure once you iron it, it will look nice in person.

Yeah it is a little frustrating especially given that the flights to Barbados aren't exactly cheap. I did try and look on wedding forums what the etiquette was for asking people to buy clothing they might not have already, but if you think SF is intimidating for a newbie than you should try those places

Thanks again!

I would shorten the sleeves. jacket is short but it doesn't look bad. Pants are too slim and my opinion. Additionally that needs to be ironed

The fit of your suit is decent around your chest, but the starting from the your waist to until your knees constructed poorly. Your sleeves are seems nice to me but again the back side of your jacket looks bit awkward!
