There's something amiss with the vest/trouser combination. I think trousers in a darker shade of grey would work better.

Agreed, they are too close in shade. Needs more contrast.
Wonderful fabrics all round though.

The undertones in the lighter greys seem to jump out more, making them more problematic to mate than you would normally think of a grey.

I like it @Gerry Nelson
!
However, me thinks another colour of the trouser would lift this. Brown perhaps?



Agreed.

Garry, isnt that jacket part of a suit? Pants left out for FC?

Not a fan of the square end knit tie in that fit, but I like it! Would have been better with a grenadine.

It's funny, when I first saw Gerry's fit I thought it was a suit. Then I thought it was a green sport coat with lighter green slacks. Then I realized the slacks were gray. Perhaps a lighter shade of gray would work better? I have always liked the green SC, gray slacks combo. In fact, the only reason I am not obsessively hunting for the perfect green sport coat is because I had convinced myself it would only work with gray slacks and thus lack versatility. Would brown slacks really work there? Anyone with photoshop skills want to voluntarily demonstrate?
