- the lapel rolls are not symmetric ... the one with the button seems to be at a different rolling point
- i've seen better shirt collars on you. this one is lifeless.

Just Awesome. Your suits always fit so well. Makes me even forgive the lack of a pocket square.

NDW - have you considered going with a silhouette that has a bit more of an extended shoulder? Could just be the camera angle but you look a bit 'hippy'.

The sleeves are the same, just one shirt sleeve got hiked up. This seems to be common when using this pose. The lapels are also fine, I just didn't fix them and one went kinda flat.

Not my favorite shirt, but the color was right and it was clean.

The biggest problem with this suit is that the right shoulder has a divot, not the left, just the right. Don't really know why.

Some of my observation:

You have a bigger head relative to your shoulders. By deemphasizing your shoulders (i.e., sticking with non-padded jackets) you are creating a visually "block" look. Also, you appear to have a short neck. This further enhances the rectangular block look. I believe all this is contributing to your looking much shorter than you actually are.

A tie in a non-blue color (such as bright red, bright orange) would cinch the outfit.

This is the second time I'm seeing this jacket.

The fabric is growing on me, so very unique.

What book is that from?

Like above, I love the top half.

+1 On both counts. Coat is great.

Like the vibe, but I think you need a nice shirt collar.

I think in part it is due (in small part) to the camera angle. I will try to adjust the camera height to verify. However, I have big hips and its hard to conceal. I have tried and still have a few things that I haven't purged with a more structured shoulder but it feels almost caricature like to me when I wear them.

Thanks, yeah I can't seem to get decent pics at a distance in my office under the fluorescent lights.

Thanks, it's 100% wool.

Extended shoulders don't necessarily mean more structured. That being said, it's probably hard to achieve via RTW.

Thanks, Mike. I guess what everyone is saying is that these pants make ****** look big

Not sure i can fix that...

Do you have a photo example of what you are describing? When I think of extended shoulder - I thought you needed more structure (or padding) to account for the extension of the sleevecap - if that makes sense.

Trini, I totally agree with NDW on this one. He is who he is. I am bigger too so can relate with the point NDW is making. Sometimes, it is what it is. IMHO, going with an extended shoulder beyond what he has today will rather throw his proportions off.

Both jacket and pants fit pretty well, based on his physical proportions.
