- IMO you need to start on a cleaner pallet than what you have been collecting whilst lurking all these years.
- new job is a good opp to start with basics

More Bow tie's and a casual fit as well

While I like the 'idea' of this bow, it's too damned pale & never I really use it. But I thought I'd give it a whirl for a morning stroll!
Divine retribution...it started to rain!

Thanks for yesterdays comments, I agree the bow should have been wider!

Maybe, it's time for me to get light blue or lavender pants. I googled to find what DTO means, haha. Good to hear that it's not bad.

Apart from that, great get-up! Very nice jacket!
OK. I will button up collars.

I usually button up collars in the morning and unbutton them in the afternoon, which I think gives a good shape of collars.

The tie is a kind of BB replica with a different stripe direction.

Yes, most of my jackets/suits are OTR(or RTW). I don't alter anything but sleeves and pants length. Anyway, thanks a lot, I like to see your fits as well, very solid!

I have never thought of changing buttons. um...Now that you say that, buttons look weird to me.

Many thanks for a good comment!

Please, ignore the mirror marks (/blurry second image); it's tooth-paste, I swear! I have yet to find a good place to take fit picks in my house! Also, I'm wearing the loafers pictured (no socks). (I don't know why I didn't take a picture of them...) The lapels are weedy, I know, but this is a ~£60, linen jacket, from Uniqlo (and the only linen jacket I have!), so go figure!

(I know it doesn't really matter!) Also, one more turn-up, on the sleeves, would make it look less scruffy (matched with your beard). Not trying to say you look scruffy!

Might as well...

Getting warm, will probably keep jacket off.

Hi Vox.

^ Nice! Not exactly sure about the bow tie (the pattern). TV fold would look nice with that!

+1; maybe some lighter (electric blue) chinos? I'm intrigued as to whether I am crazy or not!

OK, this is serves as a good reference for something I've been wondering: Are the sleeves on Fred's jacket the right length (i.e., he needs a shirt with longer sleeves), or should the jacket sleeves be shortened? I assume the latter, but iDunno.

I think if his shirt fit correctly, the sleeves would show a little, but the suit sleeves need to be shortened a cm to an inch (~). Oh, wait, you have me on block! Ahahah! *pfft!
