Jada, huh? Well, at first glance it was nice....then I zoomed in and gave em....tell em' Kiss....the kiss of death.

...lame, but it's the best comeback I have at the moment.

The tie is from Andrew's Ties, which did have a shop (two, actually, for a short while) in Manhattan, and was a useful venue for solid ties in every shade of color imaginable. The shops have disappeared - whether the company is entirely out of business, I don't know.

There's an Andrew's Ties in Rockefeller Center still. I passed by it yesterday.

first day back in DC!

Luigi bianchi mantova cotton blazer deconstructivo
sartorio ambrisiana shirt
Incotex slim khakis
No man walks alone blue belt
TF gray prescription glasses (sunglasses in pocket are just aviators from the car)
Hidden tiny Marcoliani sockless-socks
*no hating on de shoes please, the painting artwork already fading away quickly!

I gotta go with Murl on this, Tira. I can get behind the concept of three gray odd pieces put together, but it needs more pattern variation to work. Also, the tonality of the pants is too close without matching the vest and jacket.

Still, I look forward to seeing what he comes up with next.

From my screen it looked like one one color.

If so I reserve my comment until his next post.

First post (but I have been lurking) so hi everyone.

Sorry for the crappy quality of the pictures. Constructive criticism is welcomed (I know the left arm is a bit too long, it should be cut slightly longer than the right since my left arm is indeed longer but it seems it went a bit too far here).

Houston we have a break...

I may shorten the pants about a half inch though.

New Hickey Freeman MTM suit out of some Zenga fabric, tasty to say the least.

Tira: Nice fits on you and the lady. Where's this taken?

Boreal: Trouser color is too similar to the jacket. Jacket fits pretty well, maybe lower buttoning point, and I'd personally prefer softer shoulder. Actually, I think quite a few people in this thread have excessively padded shoulders. So either I'm right, or I'm just a soft shoulder extremist.

Nothing against Crispy, but I'm not seeing why this is getting so much love. It's three odd grey pieces thrown together....not a three piece suit.

Further scrutiny clearly shows it's an odd pant. Still not sure about the jacket and vest but I don't have to be sure for those, it's already bad. I retract my thumbs if that counts for anything.

Good eye

Barcelona!!!

I thought it was Barcelona. I was just there last week.

southernstyle: I think this would be much better with different tie and pocket square. The outfit screams old South, so it'd be better if your accessories matched that aesthetic.

Is that tie navy and red? Lawd have mercy.
