Of course, the fact that they're Shuron clones isn't helping the "coolness" factor, as the Ronsir frame screams 1950-60s - but that's exactly what I was going for. In other words, lasbar's comment is pretty much mission accomplished.

Foo,

That collar gap actually looks like a shadow to me, probably from the light above the mirror in the bathroom.

I like the wide spacing on the buttons better myself, but I like the fuller cut chest area, is that something that is achievable by a competent tailor to a RTW suit?

You're absolutely right about that one.

I don't even know what I have posted such comment in the first place.

My sincere Apologies for my snark.

I like that and I'm not a great double-breasted fan.

I only like them in flannel.

I'll get a few more shots up in a bit. Still basically feeling terrible and without much excuse to leave the house. Except the BB Outlet clearance sale.

Very, very good looking. You are lucky to have RTW fitting like that !

I think the reason why I find that coat appealing is the buttoning point and how the lapels roll there. I like the added perception of length that is not east to find in RTW DBs. I wonder how it looks on a person instead of a dummy.

anyone notice the double-breasted pinstripe suits in The Aviator? beautiful suits, a bit baggy-cut due to that era but very nice. anyone knows which designer was for the suits?

That's the problem with what I call uber pinning.

Sometimes some great suit jackets look suddenly very ordinary when worn by a human being instead of a dummy.

The lines could be very different even if this suit is looking very attractive .
