This thread in a nutshell: "Do you wish to look smart or are you merely looking for a new aversion of what you are wearing at the moment... something ill-fitting? We've all seen you and we all thought you were a turd. Do you wish to be smart or do you wish to leave this place as you entered it, looking like a slack-jawed spit? I'm trying to help you have standards." The butler is right, though

Please don't respond. This thread needs to die. And your suit still sucks.


And a WW Chan suit is three times the price. It is like someone asking what a good mid range saloon would be and someone recommending them to buy an S class Mercedes.

This is my thread, I can post as many responses as I please. If you don't like it go and find another thread to comment in.

I'm just messing with you dude. I hope your next suit turns out good. Its clear this one needs a little work, just lighten up a little and take some very good advice that was given to you. 99% of the people on the street wont bat an eye, but you are on SF, you did ask... and this is what you get

Fair enough and your right, most people would not bat an eyelid.

Some posters have indeed given some useful advice which will help me next time I get something made and to those people I am thankful.

Others have just shown themselves to be the idiots that they are, uninterested in posting anything constructive and resorting to rude insults when challenged. They have been added to the ignore list as a result.

From the picture, it looks like half his arse was exposed and made him his hips look wide. Fashion or not, you must know what works and what doesn't based on your own body shape.

Won't comment on the choice of fabric as i have limited exp dealing with said material.

The back of the pants looks like it could use some work cleaning up. IMO a more tapered finish on the pants would complement your suit better.

Rather pathetic indeed GBR. I bet you feel very proud of yourself now don't you?


Not in the slightest, merely suggesting how your one man campaaign to achieve the longest thread is doomed to failure.


You would do better to exhibit some humility though that is probably a forlorn hope. If you can't stand the criticism which clearly is beyond you, withdraw gracefully.

The Foo is weak in this one. Only the Foo can achieve the longest thread known to Style Forvm.

Quite the opposite actually GBR, you did not criticize, you posted a very inflammatory, rude and aggressive post and I quite rightly criticized you for it.

A quick scan of your previous posts on this forum show immediately what kind of poster you are. You take a back seat and fire criticism at everything (more than half of your posts appear to be similar to what you originally posted here). Yet in the whole 1800 posts you have amassed here you have only started just over half a dozen threads and none of them included any of your clothing (which judging by your criticism of everyone else on this forum should almost be untouchable).

You are not the kind of person I value the opinion of or are even worth listening too, so you are going on the ignore list as well.

Madjbs, I take back everything that I said. Your suit looks AWESOME. I don't think you should change a thing. I sure wouldn't want to end up on your ignore list!

So JRD Gent GBR and a few others have managed to ruin a thread which could have been useful to me and others looking to buy a Tailored suit in SEA. Well done, you lot are undoubtedly a great asset to this forum.....
