Just so you are aware, Pants are actually a deep navy and the Blazer has a Navy Stripe in it. Tie is Green Grenadine and the Shirt is Cream. Pocket Square WHITE.

Some of this may just be how the colors are displayed on my monitor.

I'd like to see more contrast between the shirt and the square. Probably a slightly darker shirt. Perhaps the FHES-Ven-5-463. I might also go with some pattern in the square such as a paisley in which case I like the lighter shirt.

Also, I think the color value of the pants and tie are too similar. In real life there might be enough contrast in hue between them, but that doesn't come through in the photo.

I liked the last one much better.

This one could do with some grey pants (I just have a thing against navy pants) and I don't like that shirt collar at all. Too lifeless, and excessive gap between the points.

I also find the ensemble, while fine a tad bit lifeless. I'd probably wear a tie with more color on this.

I can't tell with my monitor but is that Green grenadine tie almost hunter green? How about a gold shirt and/or tie? (assuming, that is, that the stripe in the suit jacket is gold)

I like it. I think it is better than the first effort you showed, well done.

It looks pretty good (could be better), but I would go with different pants.

Far better than the other ensemble imo. I agree that olive or charcoal pants would look better though. Also, those coat buttons look awfully big.

Besides the buttons, something looks out of proportion. But I like it. Might think about spicing up the pocket square, maybe something with a contrasting edge.

Looks quite good. The only change I would suggest, in line with what others have said, is the pants. I think gray, olive, tan, or brown would be better.

It is HF for Kids! Looks leagues better than the naval-inspired clown suit I had growing up.

Well... I think that its a size 6 or maybe a size 4, KIDS sizes

Bear in mind its HF's HIS FIRST line and while they probably could get smaller buttons its Moms and Dads that will be buttoning the kid up in the small sizes and they priobably wanted to make it easier.

I will relay the feedback though to the kids Sales rep.

Grey Pants wouldnt work as the monitor is probably not showing that there is a strong olive tinge with the navy stripe here. Brown would though, I just didnt have a HF brown pant to use

and I wanted to keep to HF on the basic parts of the set. The Shirt collar... Its a kids shirt and being so we dont do collar stays as it just adds for the most part unnecessary cost to the shirt. (in kids clothing like a shirt a few dollars retail on an expensive item already can make the difference between making the sale and not and two Euro in cost usually means alot more in retail. I will do a repost of the pic in a few with better coloration. Howefully you fellows will see where the navy pants come in. As with all pics (at least those that I take
smile.gif
) the pics arent nearly as well done as the actual product.
