The thing about Butler's entry is that, even though one can't really see much of the suit, one can be 100% certain it's just as awesome as his Bond pose.

So he gets my vote.

For my next entry, I'll try to get a shot of me wearing my outfit while in hand-to-hand combat with a grizzly bear. Or hanging by one finger from an antenna strut atop the Burj Khalifa. Or repairing external damage to solar panels of the International Space Station. Or some **** like that.

click for bigger size "Shooting" the Bond sequel: Steven Hitchcock SB DV 3 piece navy pinstripe - T
Can't see all that much of the fit, but it must be the coolest FC entry since we saw @Synthese and the VanBurens in the desert

Thanks - the fit can be seen better (albeit with a different waistcoat) in this post: http://www.styleforum.net/t/394373/...-part-iv-starting-may-2014/28935#post_8179853 :bigstar: [quote name="Koala-T" [/quote]Any chance there's video of this we can turn into a gif for the purposes of awesome?[/quote] This scene was shot in Super slow motion, but I'm afraid I know nothing on how to make GIF's - anyhow I haven't got the footage yet. r:

I voted for two:  upr_crust and Coxsackie.

Cheers,

Ac


Thanks, Ac. I note, that, at present, I am running a distant but respectable third, behind the two front runners, and I thank all who have voted for me.

Thanks.

It's custom: I'm thin and hard to fit. It's by far the most structured jacket I own both in terms of shoulder extension and the weight of the chest piece (not all canvassing is created equal, and on average it's a lot lighter these days than it used to be).

If I were to do it over again the only thing I might do differently is the lapel, which I might have cut straight.

Cheers,

Ac
