    How to get lapels to look like this?

    You could study this technique for sewing and you might get the desired effect. Iroh is a wealth of information on these matters. Iroh, if you are out there could you please explain how you would tackle the OP's question?

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    Today's details. No full shot because the trouser fit is so off it would have resulted in burned retinas. They were medium grey but would look better turned to charcoal. Bass weejuns on the feet to compliment the super trad scottie dog tie. Double FIH too much?

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    I agree with AAS on the notch of the lapel. It is a little too curved for my taste but not objectively wrong. This cloth looks very soft but with a "spring" back into shape. What is it? Nicely done on tie width, collar point length and spread, and jacket lapel width - these are all...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    Here is today's fit. Deeper colors. I think the shoes and tie are pretty bold but not too matchy matchy I hope. Those collar points need to be longer. Pants could probably be .25" longer. For comparison in color depth, fit, and jacket proportions here is a similar fit from...

    "Excuse me, could you please sign in." Security Guard Monday. The only flourish is a foulard. I'll admit that the collar fit is pretty poor. I think I should move those BB cuff buttons in for a tighter fit on the wrist.

    Orgetorix - pebble grain and check sport coat are a great combo. The tie is a little saturated on top of the white shirt but I'm sure you already considered light blue. Button stance is spot on. Uunottaja - I see where you are going with this but the proportions are off. One's collar spread...

    Referring to CM? If so, that was one of my first impressions of this fit. The simple white linen square and light grey socks cool this look down so much and give it a more interesting character than with blue socks. I would have gone with navy and a stronger rendering of cordovan on the shoe...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    Thanks for the positive critiques of yesterday's fit, guys. Lots to learn here. Biggest challenge I am facing is fit of trousers and shirts. Gained weight in grad school, bought some clothes, then lost way more than expected ("world's smallest violin plays"). Result = cinched up trousers and...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    I really like the creativity with pattern and texture on this one. The p-square pattern is completely unexpected but appropriate. Textural contrasts are well done and the soft collar points (I am assuming there are no stays) bring suit cloth and square together. Judging from the lift of the...

    Quote: Beautiful tie and horn (?) buttons. Nice cloth - what is it? I would have liked to see the whole fit, is it a suit?

    Yesterday's fit. Round two with the wide lapels. The waist suppression hasn't been done yet. This is Firm BBQ Conservative Business Dress so no p-square. My watch was playing a game with the left sleeve. A new hopsack is on the way for a little variation.

    upr_crust - These shoes are fantastic. A relaxed take on the security guard motif. Some may have an issue with the white shirt but I think it is consistent with your overall style. The bow tie does a good job of framing your face and compliments the casual vibe created by the shoes...

    Thank you, so I am getting half way there! The critique on collar fit is helpful, I see what you mean now. I think I got the shoulder width right but something needs to be done about the collar. Any suggestions to tell my tailor? My shirt collar should probably be .5" less also. And yes...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    Tobias - I like this fit for a number of reasons. First, it works as a whole, for e.g. the suede shoes with a green knit, a paisley pattern square and herringbone are all within the same genre of the "casual" or "country" vocabulary of classic menswear. There are no conflicting signals...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    Thank you for the compliment. The trousers are 10" at mid-thigh and taper to 7.5" at the cuff. I have had trouble with trouser fit because I like a high(er) rise that fits on or very slightly above the natural waist. Finding this with a narrower leg is difficult at my height without breaking...
