Did you borrow Shaquille O'Neil's shoes or what?

White or checked square?

no square, but if, i would go with the checked. white is the certitude version.

jacket is great.

Suit 2 much better IMHO. I don't like the high closure of Suit 1. It is the 3-button at its worst. You'd probably be well served by lapels a little wider than the ones in Suit 2, but that issue is secondary to the buttoning point to me.

Thanks, I agree. I tried not buttoning the top button of suit 1, but it made it look even worse.

Suit 2 looks much better at the front, IMO (and nice tie choice)! IDK if it fits better at the back, though. Also, and I know you've already stated, but you need to fix the trouser length! Also, the sleeve length, on jacket 2, is slightly too long!

Thank you, that is one of my favorite ties. It is a red 7 fold silk tie with a very soft sheen that looks dark pink or red depending on how the light hits it.

Do you think suit 1 is a lost cause? It is a rather expensive Isaia suit and I hate to just toss it.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I thought this thread would currently be the best place to ask advice on the style and fit of these two suits.
I am about 6', 225#, and wear a size 46 jacket. I'm not svelte, therefore not a lot of waist suppression in the jackets.
I know the pants are too long, but I would like overall opinion on fit of the suits, and which seems to look better on me.
I appreciate any, and all, constructive feedback.

No, not at all! I think, maybe, if you undid the top button, fixed the trousers, and paired it with a better tie, it would work! It's just when you compare it to the second one, it's not as great! (I know that's not what you want to hear! )

I was going to focus first on some one on one fit battles.
WAYWRN vs. This Wheel will start the series.

Would have been more awesome with a regular tie. I just find bow-ties very costume-like.

 

[XKxRome0ox]

this tie is stubborn... difficult to get a better dimple so i didn't bother trying to fix it

Thanks Dave, SC is Ercoles, Zegna hopsack-like fabric, and part of a SF "controversial" 3 piece suit. Everytime I wear it as a SC, I hear "Too suity" and when I suit it up, especially with the vest, I hear, "too informal". Can't win em all I guess.
