[aravenel]

That is a serious FU outfit.

Having a quick look through this thread, I'm guessing turn ups on trousers are big in the US then. They're a bit 1990's for me. I'd best make sure I stock up on suits in the UK before I move out to Cali in a couple of months.

? Trousers come unfinished, you can put a cuff on them or not...

If trousers come cuffed, it's dead easy to remove them. If it's the other way around, there's often no enough extra material left to make a proper cuff.

Also why would you think that cuffs are more common in the US ??

Shawl lapel SCs... Hm. Next big thing? One never knows.

LilacCords, why do you have a tissue wrapped around your neck? Lunch time?

all these 3 pieces suits that have been posted lately, are leaving me feeling severely lacking.

Got a chance to take a nicer picture today. And more elegant too I suppose

Still struggling with this casual thing (you'll note a lot of my tie/shirt/jacket combinations have uneven levels of formality). Formal suiting is so much simpler. Buy a suit, have it tailored by someone who knows what they are doing, wear a conservative shirt and soporific tie. But introduce jackets with patterns...scary stuff for me.

Also, the shirt is pink, not white. ADJUST YOUR DAMN MONITOR STITCHY!

clags, i think you did well with the color combo. though some will never like a white shirt and SC, i am not one of those people. however, it looks like a white on white stripe, i dont love those.

also, the tie seems a bit too slick for that country SC, maybe try a wool, or cashmere, something with more texture, softer and earthier.

Are you Amish?

noap!

I take it there are no decent thrift stores in the Armpit of California. One navy SC will go a long way, though. Maybe one of them joints from Lands End?
Well, if you must wear the tie, you get the Official Digmenow My Boss Makes Me Wear This Hall Pass

Brudduh, truer words hath never been spoken. I've been looking for a navy SC for a while now. Hell, I even have a Borreli shirt I'm trying to trade to get one (shameless self plug). I'm also trying to land me some tweeds as well, as I have a lot of earthy trousers to work with. For what it's worth, I really don't disagree with anything in your first post. I just thought I'd give the rationale for the fit.

I believe today's is decidedly better, and tradly as hell. I only wish the tie was a touch wider to balance the lapels.
