Cheers mate! @pravda They are more or less 2 inches. Perhaps 6cm.

I suppose the cuffs stand out a bit different due to the trousers short length (no break) and tapered width. That's the way I like my trousers, though someone might regard them a bit too #pittiuomo.
Likely the case, but as long as you don't look objectively foolish (you certainly do not) and like the design, then keep on doing it, and pay no mind to those who don't.

@Dennis. You are killing the db suit. The beads top it off. I've been looking for pomegranate beads like those. Nice touch.

#22. Time for a serve of the old-style Kox Kraziness.

Canali - Ballantyne - Nick Bronson for Henry Buck's - SuSu - Seiko - Pantherella - Carmina for Unipair

I think the sleeves could be shortened a tad on the suit jacket. Thoughts?

Actually the suit is Canali (which means fabric is probably Loro Piana - it's a wool/cashmere blend). Only the pocket square is SuSu.

And hey, I love seeing myself up in lights. But really you should spoiler the pics when quoting. Cheers!

Dat be Canali, not susu. Great suits, wish they would lower the button stance, and use horn buttons instead of plastic. Really nice to wear though.

Button stance is particularly high on this jacket. I wish it was about 2cm lower.

Let's face it, Canali's main clientele are older and for the most, somewhat more portly gents. Every season they release a few "racy" items like this suit, which will be eye-catching on the window mannequins. They know their CEOs and judges aren't going to buy these show-pony pieces, so they cut them a tad more fashion-forward. But as fashion-forward is not really their thang, the results can be somewhat gauche.

I'd say all those failings are present to some extent in this suit, but it happens to flatter my frame, the cloth is killer, and I get comments every time I wear it. Mostly in supermarkets. Like today. Yes. I had a supermarket fanboy. And no. I don't have my staff do my grocery shopping.

All I seem to do on here is ask you where you got your stuff, that being said what's the source for those beads?

Just curious, does this Canali have a drop 8? I recall seeing something similar in HK about 2 years ago. It was on sale, but did not kop.
