Same SC as yesterday.

Much better, more light makes a difference.

timo - very nice, well done on the photo color improvement.

This is the proper way to handle petty critiques from dashingly handsome, yet marginal dressers. Well done.

Please elaborate. The only thing I would change is the BD collar (and maybe go with a plain white PS), but that's just a matter of taste.

The whole thing looks affected and stiff. Like it is trying too hard.

The tie, while I don't like it, is not my biggest problem. Where in gods name did you buy this shirt? The collar is miserable. And is it just me, or have you placed a collar stay about 1/2" too far rearwards and entirely vertical?
Your off the rack suit fit is absolutely amazing. I am consistently impressed by the way your suits fit. Whatever you are doing, keep it up.

Thanks Quad!

I think a lot of that is because of the scowl in the picture. The second go around was really a perfect response. The mode of dress here should be fun and it has to be fun to not look affected.

Upr_crust  -- Looks great.  Forgive my ignorance, but what is the purpose of the top inside pocket where the opening is running almost vertically?  Does the left hand side of the jacket not become bulky if you have things in all pockets?  

After your enquiry, I stuck my hand into the pocket to investigate. It would seem to be a pocket for eyeglasses - useful for some, though not for me (mine must be on my face at all times).

This is the perfect example of a certain look/style that gets tons of love on this site: the colors are good, the fit is spot on and the textures are really nice, yet the overall effect is contrived and fussy.

As much as the OP has responded to this criticism in an effective manner (with a touch of the humor for which Sheepy is so well-known) , might I suggest that, as the OP is a bespoke tailor, and is in the business of selling his services as such, that "contrived and fussy" is also "attention-getting" - an effective form of advertising. The OP is his own billboard, and his own wardrobe is designed to be visually arresting (even at the expense of being "natural") and technically superb.

FWIW, were the suit for myself, I would forego the roped shoulders.

stitch, nice use of textures.

fred, great look today.

Today is a day of new acquisitions, the major one being today's suit, MTM from Brooks Bros. The tie was acquired on my recent trip to London, as were the cufflinks, and the hat was an early Xmas present from my partner. Note that the inclusion of braces occurred prior to realizing that BB hadn't put in brace buttons (an error I will have corrected in due time).

I continue to be amazed by both the raw count and %age of your outfits I love.

Thank you gentlemen. Much appreciated.
