I grant you that the longer you stay, the harder it is to leave . . .

Outstanding skills. I have p-shop but haven't learned to use layers yet. I need an afternoon to do some of the tutorials.

I'm certainly not hiring ...I'm more actually trying not to get fired myself to be honest...
You 've got a good eye and a good technical mind, you will do well in design or advertising...

I want to post mine, but I'm not sure any of my photos are good enough. Here... you decide. All are RLBL, and fit virtually identically.

^^^ Those can definitely be Foofed. But upon casual observation, there isn't all the much to Foof in the first place. It looks like you need more room in the chest and a jacket collar that fits more snugly. The sleeves also need some re-shaping, but nothing drastic.

Really? Cool. No complaints about the strong shoulders, the narrow lapels, or the button stance?

What would more room in the chest translate into visually? What does reshaping the sleeves mean? (You can just describe--no need to draw.)

You know, the public persecution of Derek, I believe, is all worth it for this alteration. Bravo FooFoo, Brav - o.

Oh, I would Foof it if I was home. It would only take a few minutes.

I don't mind the shoulders. They would not be my personal preference, but I don't think they're objectively bad. The lapels look fine on you; I only noticed they were a tad bit narrow after you mentioned them.

The fuller chest would help close up and straighten out the 'V' created by your lapels. If you look at your first picture, you can see a distinct curvature that makes the 'V' bulge out into a 'U'. Mr. Moo had this problem with his Borrelli jacket.

The collar looks like it is too low on your neck. Combined with a chest that doesn't give you enough room, you wind up showing the outside edges of your shirt collar. If I tighten up your collar and add room to your chest, those edges would disappear underneath your lapels. However, it might be that the collar points on your shirt themselves are too short. They may need lengthening--but I won't know until I start playing around.

I'd probably screw around with your styling and colors, but that's pretty minor stuff.

Oh, this one will be fun--not because I think it's a terrible outfit, but because there are a lot of tiny, easy tweaks I'd like to do.

^^^ Bill must have failed his layering class at Harvard. I forgot what the score was in the other thread, but Harvard sucks and Brown is totally awesome.

Do you call your wife "Lovey" when you wear that?

Thanks. This is already very helpful.
