My ol' friend Upr is quite right Yosh. They are Westbourne on the 348 last

Thanks for asking

I've been eyeing of the C&J Maltons recently, but those seem equally nice.

When I look at them on the website there only seems to be black and chestnut, neither of which match these pictures. Have you done a bit of handiwork to darken the chestnuts or are C&J being a bit optimistic in their photography?

Narrow lapels, so maybe not SF-compliant.

The reason that I knew that Cleav's shoes were Westbournes was that I had wanted to buy them myself last year, but C & J didn't have them in my size, and, irony of ironies, I bought Maltons in chestnut instead. My Maltons are lighter in color than either Cleav's picture or the shot of the Westbournes on C & J's website, and I seem to remember that the Westbournes in chestnut were lighter than C & J's website's picture.

So is there a discontinued mid brown or something?

They used to do 'my' colour some time ago. Though no more. These were picked up directly from the FS last summer I think so I assumed they were part of a special order.

So, yes it's not an oft seen combination these days.

Thanks for your kind words Yosh, good luck in your shoe search

I like the colours and materials here, but I have to say that the skinny lapels, skinny tie and cutaway collar combine to emphasize the skinniness of your neck and make your head, in fact everything about you from shoulders upwards, look very small.

+1; you would benefit from a wider lapel, not that slim suit and tie...

Thanks Sander! The lighting is a bit difficult inside at the end of the day, and I was more curious what folks would think of the tie, but this is the same suit in outdoor shots for a better view of it: http://www.styleforum.net/t/394373/...-part-iv-starting-may-2014/17205#post_7773388

It's quite restrained, no? Or do you mean the blue back blade?

Re: Talk of shoe color.

If you want to darken your shoes, you can always polish with a shade darker and go from there. IF you don't like the results, strip using saphir.

Oh, those peacocks...

I met a peacock last summer.........

Our wires appear to have gone wonky

I meant the tie from yesterday's fit but I thought maybe you were referring to the suit not being able to be seen. Anyway, the tie from yesterday is a busier pattern that I typically think works (or that is seen here on SF) but it seems not to be ruffling any feathers.

Spoiler: This Tie

Cheap old Oscar de la Renta tie from the 'bay. Like? No like? Today was it's first outing and I felt like only a conservative business dress frame would work for it, if it works at all.
