^ Very nice, SB! Except for the shoes, they're much too casual and chunky for such a refined and elegant fit, IMO.

Thank you my good man! Yours DB's are so true and awesome to the time period that inspired them. As for me I have one more that is at the tailors in a solid navy that I am keen on seeing how it comes together. This one made me a believer for sure. Thanks for the kind words!

Ah, I live in a city with a Suit Supply but haven't been. I'll check them out sometime.

Tibor, I admire your fits and you've clearly spent a lot of time sourcing and tailoring your clothes considering the rarity of such items and, if I recall correctly, the fact that you're not a very big/tall person, much like myself.

Whenever I see your pictures, however, I'm a bit in the dark as to the type of feedback to give, if you're looking for any at all. I'm not familiar enough with the clothing of the time period you're emulating so I would only be able to apply a more current rubric. I guess what I'm saying is it would be cool (to me, anyway) if you would consider giving a little bit more background when you post photos: how things are supposed to fit, what was considered the popular style at the time for ties, lapels, shoulders, etc. Maybe you could even critique your own fits for a while to get me (us?) up to speed?

I'd find that really cool, and then I would know whether I should say "the hat looks too tall for your face" or if that's part of the look

I probably encounter more people who share Tibor's style than many who post here, and I think that Tibor always looks very good.

Here's a picture taken on the train a few weeks before Christmas last year........

Thanks. I dithered on shoe choice this morning, but was running quite late and I guess that's just where I ended up!

^A dark tie like a midnight blue or very dark grey bumps that fit up considerably, IMO.

Burgundy – with the warm tones of the coat, and the red overcheck? Beautiful. And I agree with the stealth edit you did on the hank, too, though cream might beat gray (I'm thinking in warm tones, you're thinking in cool ones). Actually, if the tie were a hank it would be perfect here (I don't subscribe to the advice against neat-printed squares).

@Koala-T

Are the shoes dark brown, or black? I can see how the color scheme there is "city" enough that you might go for black, but the unpressed trou and the pronounced pattern in the jacket would lead me to brown shoes. It's a nice rig, though: the coat is gorgeous, and the pants look pretty good – the same cut and length with a crease might do you even more favors. You're improving way faster than I did.

I like Tibor's posts too. Context would be nice. Where do you source everything?
