1+ on experimentation. I've made many goofs trying to stretch my sartorialoidal education.

Fancy pants done right. The counter-balance of the pattern against the uniform simplicity of the top rings well with me.

Are the jacket sleeves too long, esp. for bespoke? Are the sleeves of blazers meant to be like this?

At least, those are the two major things I'll ask Whittaker to do when I see him later this month. There'll be some other, minor changes as well.
