Prom - Suitsupply and TM Lewin. Criticisms welcome (don't be too savage this time Claghorn ).

I like this quite a lot. Good eye for proportions. When I was your age and had to (and I stress "had to" since I then preferred to dress in clothes with skateboard brands on them :embar:

) dress up in a suit I had no clue what I was doing (+ refused to take advice from people who did) and looked like an ass clown.

I haven't worn this suit for over 6 months, so it's a little dusty. This is take 2 for the Friday Challenge, but I prefer my first entry. It's based on the Great Wave off Kanagawa, probably the most famous Japanese woodblock print. I was planning to take a picture on the beach for this, but unfortunately it's raining today,

[/SPOILER] Is this the rust linen tie making an appearance? I'd been admiring it, and may have even quoted it somewhere within. Very nice, and sharp look overall.

Thanks; and yes, it's the rust linen tie. I just love how it knots, very "creamy" somehow.

First attempt in this thread. Advice on fit and coordination is encouraged.

The tie looks too bold for my liking, a real grenadine would have been better and dissolved some of the sheen.

Suit looks good; shirt: collar too small, points too short; tie: too shiny, knot too thick. Fix these small things and you look twice as good.

Ok guys-- I'll try that starting...tomorrow. But in the meantime, wearing as Ralph Lauren prob wants it, out dere for the world A few drinks, listening to dean and frank; decided to pinstripe up for tonite. Signore Bontoni, Isaia, and Sartorio present for duty.

This one looks much better than the grey one, lapel to tie - ratio wise. Also agree on the tie clip where it can't be seen (and actually serves a function). Combination-wise, I like both fits very much; understated, but very well done.

I am transfixed by your shirt collar.

I hope positively so.

I've never though about wearing a knit tie with a pinstripe suit before, but you pull it off amazingly well!

Cute kid. Apparently she inherited dad's smile.

Nice setting, though you appear to be quite concerned about some airborne or very tall item on the periphery (Godzilla?).

Overall, nice summery look. Minor nit: pants appear a bit short relative to their width. Not sure about the tie, would have to inspect more closely for thumbs up or down. Minor praise: Nice hat. Also, the shoes appear to have been thoughtfully selected for the occasion.

I'm obviously a big fan. (See avatar). -- Happy July 4 to those 'muricans and 'murican sympathizers out there!

(That's not my car. Last year, Mrs. GMMcL bought me a spot on a "Dream Car Tour," where we spent the afternoon driving supercars around the wilds of a local state park. This is just before I drove the 451 Italia)
