[heldentenor]

Not sure why my right trouser leg looks all effed up.

Kent Wang unstructured linen suit (W. Bill 60149)
Kent Wang linen/cotton shirt
Kent Wang The Great Wave pocket square
Kent Wang handgrade penny loafer

Is this suit too bold? I feel like I'd be more comfortable with it if it was tan instead of cream.

One of my least Claggish fits

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

(and another shirt, actually the twin from a few days ago, whose sleeves are too short, though at this point in the day, they've been somewhat revealed as the linen in the jacket has caused the jacket sleeves to shorten, via wrinkling, with wear)

.

Welcome break and a damn good fit shirt cuffs and all.

White is bold; cream, less so, and by a relatively large margin. Tan is subdued.

Nope. Looks fine.

@Kent Wang I like it. A lot.

I'm wearing the KW Carta Marina square today, incidently. Just a quick hotel snap though, I'm in Atlanta for professional society meetings.

Help me here. What are we looking at? The slope of the shoulders? The shoulder expression?

It's a mannequin, you know.

Yes, I meant the slope of the shoulder. And I understand it's sitting on a mannequin, but the jacket falls very cleanly on those "shoulders" which have all the slope of Nebraska, haha. The only reason I even noticed is because I have odd shoulders to fit--sloped, forward set, with pitch issues. This is the main reason I decided to go bespoke, incidentally.

By the way, that's not meant to be a knock. I find your Formosa stuff to be universally lovely, and my Dents gloves were a godsend this past winter.

No offense taken at all, but I believe your eye may be tricked by the mannequin's very straight shoulders. There's nothing in the construction of the shoulder line itself that would create a horizontal slope. On the more formal jackets, when we opt for the spalla cadente morbida (and not spalla camicia), there's a bit of extension with a slight padding to support it, so you do see the shoulder expression being less round and more angular. But I don't think there's any horizontality to speak of in the actual construction of the shoulder line.

@GuidoWongolini pretty awesome!
@justinkapur great SC!

And today's outfit. Curiously the jacket's sleeves look long whereas they're not and the shirt is normally seen.

 

[TweedyProf]

Same coat as Justin's but a different way of wearing it. Brown/cream shepherd's check with gold/navy grenadine.

Very Michigan!

 

[Mr. Six]

For the Formosa shoulder discussion. This is a new jacket straight out of the box. Perhaps helpful though because of the robo pose
