Nice one,@jcmeyer
I agree with heldentenor that it looks most natural on mossrockss though.
Your combination with the cardigan I like,but the worsted suit with slim lapels doesn't really fit the trad vibe, TBH.

jcmeyer · Apr 6, 2015

All true and good feedback. This suit, as with all of mine, was made before I realized the error of my lapel ways. Eh well, you work with what you got until you get more - and no one at the office notices.

I'll give the navy blazer a shot the next time this tie comes up in the rotation :nodding:

Looking forward to see what you come up with next, whenever that happens to be!

So many good fits posted of late, I've truly enjoyed perusing the last 20 or so pages! Well, it's been quite a while since I posted anything but the warmer weather has reenergized me. So here's my humble contribution. Apologies for the lousy phone pics. Hmmm..I do believe the sleeves on this SC could be a bit longer. Oh well, Happy Spring fellas!

I'm definitely not a proponent of very matchy pocket squares, but here it seems without context to me. I think I would have gone with something darker to balance the tie.

Wore my grey birdseye like @SeaJen today with a navy cardigan since it was actually a bit colder in SF.

And I took my turn at the Brooks Brothers trad repp like @mossrockss and @EliodA (thanks for the inspiration!). I know I saw it in one more fit recently so if anyone remembers who that was let me know and I'll add him below in the "who wore it best" spoiler

I think you would benefit from a wider lapel, proportions would be more balanced.

Trying out some new linen pents from Luxire. First time I've tried double forward pleats (I think). Might just offer that from my own brand in the future:

@EFV Those are real, and they are spectacular

Sartorial perfection, as always. But the "stache" is the crowning element.

I, and I'm sure just about everyone else, agree.

Theoretically if the tailor had more of the same fabric left, anyone know how intensive/possible would it be to change the lapels after the fact? Can ask in the tailor thread too.

The tie fits Mossrockss' aesthetic best, so my vote goes to him. You and Elio both did yourselves credit, though.

jcmeyer said:
Man, such a touch call, though. I love it with Elio's simple grey herringbone. White shirts and simple palettes seem to be the default; wonder how much else could really be done with a tie that chews up so much of the scenery.

That's my one and only suit. I do like the idea of the herringbone / tweed combo with that tie—the BB version I have (which is the one currently on sale in their stores) is pretty shiny/smooth, which does contrast well with a woolly tweed. Also, I credit elio with reviving my interest in it—I hadn't worn it in a while and was kinda blah on it until he wore that fit and reminded me how much I love the colors.
