RJMan...or whatever you desire to be called

Why do you refer to Darren Beaman as a master tailor

I understand he made a suit or two for you...which came out good

But it doesn't appear he has the experience to be labeled a master

Regardless of the problems he had with some forum members a few years ago...why is he a Master Tailor to you?

Manton...nice DB suit...I can find no fault to it based on the picture and my limited knowledge of bespoke tailoring

If this is an A&S suit...when was it made...which cloth and weight did you use for it?

FNB...you allude to your dislike of A&S from the start of your postings on AAAC in the pre-ban days

Could you be kind enough to post a link to this?

Sloppy, sleeves, skirt. Terrible lapels, jacket too long and off balance. Fortunately Grimslade probably was oblivious to that sartorial train wreck because he is...

You are out of your mind.

Too long, OK, whatever, a matter of taste. Ditto the lapels. Belly is a SR classic, not just at A&S. The upward rake to them is definitely an A&S touch, though. Matter of taste, I guess.

The sleeve is hanging perfectly cleanly. Or do you mean the arm that is raised?

I can't for the life of my understand what you mean about the skirt, unless you mean the side that is lifting up because my arm is raised.

That coat is perfectly balanced. You obviously know absolutely nothing about balance, nothing new there. Here, read this:

FWIW big guy, as bad as I think your taste is and as big of an ass as I think you are, if you posted yourself wearing a coat that fit, I would not deny it just because you are you.

It is not A&S but made by an alum and in that style. Lesser 16.

FNB puts Manson in his place yet again!!! Story at 11!

How do you tell it's off balance simply from a frontal pic?

As to the rest, the sleeves seem to be pitched better than any suit I've seen on teh foraz. Of course, you may say I'm biased because Manton and I had terrific makeup sex two nights ago.

You would be able to tell if the tailor had not corrected for my low right shoulder, but he did. If the front balance were off you might see a ripple at the waist, but it isn't.

But the all encompassing answer is that FNB is a fool.

Interesting.

Many would say that the suit is very nice, and I am one of them. There are stylistic choices that I would have chosen differently.

The other option is of course is a symptom of butthurt. The quadramatic coat comments or the large steamer.

Choice is open.
