Thought the shoulders looked more structured than Polo's version.

Looks good to me.

I like that jacket a lot, esp the fabric and how it fits your shoulders and chest. However, is it a bit over-suppressed at the waist? The skirt is flaring out a lot. OK, that's to be expected somewhat on a hacking style jacket, but it seems a bit more than it should be. Are the vent(s) sitting flat? If not, might be worth letting it out slightly.

Welcome! Please humor my novice critique. Isn't that tie knot a little big for that collar? Also I'm no pocketsquare know-it-all but I thought you're not supposed to wear a white square with a white shirt. If you're going conservative, maybe go with a cream. For less business, perhaps something blue?

Vents are kicked out a little bit. This thing is heavy, I may get 2-3 wears out of it this season. I am going to live with it as is. I think I am keeping my tailor in business these days........

It also has a somewhat low buttoning point. I don't think it is too low, but that seems to be having an effect on the skirt.

Also welcome.

Probably and probably (I'm a novice).

It's a vintage wool / alpaca Gloverall I got off eBay and had slimmed down a bit by my tailor.

Awesome view ... the light on Tour Eiffel looked almost the same when I was there a while back - an amazing site.

This pose does you no favors, homez. I tried it myself, and I think it only works for IST. The jacket looks good.

Got a ton of compliments and a few requests for more after I posted a pic of my house a couple of days ago. Thank you for the warm words, and those who care can see more here.

In what way? I feel like such a tool standing there like a robot....I feel like I need to do something.

Does it make me look short or something? I am asking honestly.

Sorry about the crooked shots.

Have a great one!

Great look today Mike, I like how well all the colours and textures flow.



TC, that SC drool inducing.

It just looks unnatural - forced. And doesn't show more than the robot pose.

Oh, ok. Well, I can focus on improving the robot.
