Good Natured Advice Thread (improving a business wardrobe)

3 piece option is very clever. The vest reduces the visual effect of the very open quarters.

Edit: answering question above : 4 sport coats (navy donegal, check as pictured, green/copper horse blanket, and gun check) ; 3 suits (Prince of Wales, navy, and brown/black LP mini check) ; 3 overcoats (navy tweed, db grey check and beige herringbone tweed).

Oh dear...

Greg, what does the gun check look like (color wise)?

I've always loved this fit, except for that flaccid tie.

thoughts on this raincoat?

100% cotton

supposedly very good quality for the money

And you need to post fit pics. At least one

@jrd617
So much talk with not even a single fit pic....

I personally do not like the open quarters.

A fit pic in general?

jrd don't post fitpics on the interweb

What do folks think of jetted pockets on SCs? Odd? Ok? I've seen a lot on RTW recently and would have thought patched>flapped>jetted. Ethan's first photo in Greg's post either is jetted or, perhaps, he's tucked the flaps in.

Liverano jackets never have flaps AFAIK.

Here is a picture of me wearing the Lorenzo:

I have a low right shoulder and a high right hip, so the right side of the jacket is a little lower and there's some bunching above my hip on the right side. And the sleeve pitch is off. But these problems are endemic to RTW for me, so hard to blame the cut for that. I think the quarters look nice.

What's up with the collar shifted over to the right shoulder? Looks like the left arm should also be raised with a wagging finger coming out of the sleeve.

If this slow roll out of pics of the Lorenzo is part of a plan to foment anticipation and excitement....

it's working.

@gdl203

Greg...I will happily model your Lorenzos for you. I'm sure they will fit me perfectly. I would need, however, airfare covered (or megabus), but I'll waive my other fees.

The quarters on you seems about what you see on Liveranos

Is anyone else seeing broken links for all of Greg's pictures that he posted to illustrate the Eidos/Liverano cut? Because I am, and I am sad.
