I have some other ideas:

1) Three Piece, Classic or Creative


2) Today I am Out-dressing the Boss


3) **** Off World, Worship My Testosterone Power Suit Challenge


4) Perfect Though Safe Interview Outfit


5) Wear a Tie a Well-meaning Woman Bought You as a Gift

I know this isn't the right place to ask, but there are so many great DB looks in here I have to.

I've always had trouble getting over the idea that tall slim guys like me look dorky in DB suits, and so I only own a single DB jacket (Navy blazer, heavy wool).

Am I on the right track steering clear, or is this something a 6'3" 175lb 40L jacket 15-15 1/2 collar could potentially experiment with?

J


Like with most things, the key is getting decent tailoring. Manton has posted numerous good fits with DB suits and he is very tall and slim as well.
