I'm no great judge of SW&D but this is really nice IMO

[/quote] I think this suit is giving you too oval a shape. IMO you need more shoulder structure to compensate for the slope, a bit more waist suppression and slightly longer pants.

Mate, that's a Canali 2 button off the rack, nipped in the waist with the back tidied up.

My preference is always for a 3 roll 2 but I was after a suit this colour. You made me think,,, I believe I'm 50/50 on 2 button/3 roll 2 suits and 100% 3 roll 2 on SCs.

In a grey two button tomorrow for meetings in the capital (Westminster) lunch with friends too. Any plans for another visit to Blighty? Beverage(s) of your choice on me when you do!

EDIT: Shoes C & J


I'd snap up as many of those Canalis as you can, they look fabulous.
Not sure how tall you are but for me, at 5'8" the three roll two with the wider lapels are starting to look a bit "blocky" ... I thought slimmer lapels, two buttons and pants with a higher rise might give me the illusion of more height.
I would love to return to UK and thanks for the offer, but my wife and I are recovering from travel splurges to 12 countries in the past few years, including a solo trip by me to Buenos Aires for a mate's wedding in May. In the future me may return - we both love all of UK - and would definitely give you a call.

Cheers. Rustic works well in our climate. 


I wouldn't have thought of brown with that Black Watch but the whole outfit looks fabulous, as does the Nordic scenery ( although I love the bleakness and austerity of Scandinavian TV shows...must be my dark Celtic blood).
Grey flannel pants, or even navy would also look excellent of course. Black Watch sport coat is actually quite versatile...with tie, open neck shirt, roll neck sweater, brown, grey, navy pants etc...
