Chan (Blazer), P Johnson (Shirt, Trousers), Drakes, Vass. Excuse the focus on the crotch. Purely an accident.

Just made them smaller. Apple Cinema Display makes everything look reasonable in size.

I thought traditionally spalla camicia was for more casual jacket/suits? Wouldn't this be a bit transgressive for conservative business dress?

Quar, are those shoes gray? Look cool. Manton isn't going to like the wholecuts though...

Sleeves are about 0.5 cm long or shirt sleeves are too short...

I would have gone with different pockets for Solaro but it looks good otherwise. At the least, I would have welted breast pocket. Is this from a new tailor you mentioned?

I don't know if I agree with that. I am adamant on a patch breast pocket with patch side pockets. A welted breast pocket would give that combo an formality crisis.

I think the suit looks good, very nice lapels, shoulders but not sold on the patch pockets and swelled edges to be honest. Also, don't like these shoes with it but honestly have not idea what shoes I would wear with Solaro.
