DC, I'm sorry. I only comment on this because I usually like your outfits.

The suit and vest both fit beautifully and look great. But, the suit is very conservative business dress (navy chalk stripe), whilst the waistcoat is very country (tattersall). Even though I like experimenting with different levels of formality, it looks a bit incongruous.

EDIT: decided to go for a diff. look for my official entry; ignore this post when creating the poll, please!



Didn't go for a suit with the odd waistcoat, but did go for a fairly formal look despite that:

A small clarification: On request I will also allow pairings of matching trousers and waistcoat with an odd jacket, I have updated the thread to indicate this.

I'll give it a whirl. Shirts blue not lavender as was pointed out to me, morning light (snow reflection) is throwing things off. See spoiler.

fixed that for ya. May be it's the shrugged pose. I like it aside from the pose. You've got a Sean Connery from Indiana Jones thing going there.
