Are fully unlined blazers/jackets by definition not able to be canvassed? 

What are the pros/cons I should be aware of in going unstructured vs. structured on a spring/summer blazer, and does having it partially/fully unlined play into the dynamic at all?

Trying to determine what combination of lined/structured I should think about.

Otherwise, I suppose $500 would be enough for you to go the made-to-measure (MTM) route.

From what I've heard, large boys blazers tend to be very boxy. Sucks being short

Yes fully unlined jackets are uncanvassed. if you don't have much to fill out the jacket out (not a problem, just saying) it may not look as good and you may want to get more structure in the jackets, in which case you can get the partially lined ones which will have the canvas in front and be lined there as well, with the lining gone in back.  

the durability will not be the same as a fully canvassed one, but it can be nice to not sweat your ass off. i assume that's the thought process?

Perfect, thanks. Exactly the thought process, summers are typically exceptionally humid.

The tie on the left for sure. The KC one should go back to the store.

Will do, thanks.

Also, happy to report that the interview went great. I cannot thank everyone who replied to my questions enough to adequately show my appreciation. I am definitely looking forward to using the forums more in the future, as it is a valuable resource and the members are a wealth of knowledge. I am well versed in researching data online and searching for information on forums. I always make sure to search for readily available information before bothering anyone with needless posts. However, when it comes to some more specific questions such as exact color and pattern  combinations it can be hard to find similar enough posts to be confidant in a decision. What is probably even more often the reason for posting questions that could possibly be found searching is the time constraint usually present. The topic of professional business attire is typically analyzed for the first time, at least in detail, by those who need to know it due to important interviews or the such. Many times these interviews can be scheduled with only a few days notice which can be problematic when an individual already works full time and must purchase a number of pieces that he/she has not previously shopped for.

This was my situation at least, so thanks again for putting up with the painfully ignorant questions and stomaching the endless pictures of blindingly repulsive ties!

Hi everyone,

Which color do you think is best if you are wearing formal. Please suggest me or is it depend on our skin color ?.. will appreciate your opinion :)

I...have no idea if I am getting them dry cleaned or laundered. Probably something I should investigate, by my command of Korean does not extend to dry cleaning lingo. I'll need to figure that out. Is there a chance that they've been laundering my shirts all along (knowing better than I)?

Does anybody know what brand this jacket is or what type of jacket it is?

These pictures were taken in 2001 so it was probably made by a brand that was prominent during that time...

Also sorry if there is already a thread for identifying brands but I did not find one. Thank you!
