yeah, I was worried that I was missing something that made it an obviously bad fit!

price-to-quality/fit ratio is the issue

Been doing that since the day I joined this forum. Been shopping and dressing the way you guys' been from the most muted to the flashiest. Bottomline you get the best girls and deals by making people notice you. Doesn't matter how or how much you spent doing it... whether it's bespoke, mall brands, or some ebay chinese stuff with an H on front. If you get off by wearing uncommon brand that's costly but plain looking you'll only be getting approvals from the same internet club. Even then as the items all look very similar, approvals have to be achieved by mentioning the brand names or materials which isn't so much different than wearing a Kanye West's $120 white shirt. The exception to this fact is if your own name is more famous than your company's and has transcended any value any brand can offer. The goal is to build an image of oneself right?

I am forced to agree with this. Well some of it.

Yes, I don't know what is so 'hideous' about that first suit.

Caustic Man · Jun 23, 2015

It's not hideous. It's simply unremarkable and has some fit issues. Especially if he paid 3k for it. The styling didn't get much love as I recall, either. A self stripe, peak lapel SB isn't going to get a lot of love around here I think.

The Noodles · Jun 23, 2015

That Zegna was too short, had narrow peak lapels, lapels bowing instead of a nice V, AND it was $3,000 or so.

This.

Gentlemen, I apologize for very bad pics quality. And on top of that, square kind of poped out of its pocket at the worst moment.

Details:

Suit is a very dark navy by Gieves & Hawkes thrifted on Ebay
Shirt TM Lewin
Tie Suitsupply
PS The tie bar
Shoes Bexley

semperexcelsius · Jun 23, 2015

Yeah, definitely not worth $3-4k, just had a moment where I thought I was being stupid

Seems like @PCK1 gained more in the education and wallet departments than the objectively good fit department

Andy57 · Jun 23, 2015

Dipping another toe in the WAYWRN pool...

Jacket: Brooks Brothers
Shirt: Proper Cloth
Tie: Drake's
Square: Rumisu
Trousers: Baroni
Shoes: Edward Green

Is this a "Northern Lights" look? I've never been clear on that. And navy trousers, too!
