here goes ... starting from TC's post with the pics below:
http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...60731&page=222

I don't know if I want to proceed with this alteration,here are couple of shots of my items,as you can see,shoulders are heavily padded. I am not sure if the soft shoulders (natural shoulder) look is even possible with these garments.

There are 10 or so of these,fairly structured with padded shoulders

I'll post couple more pictures tomorrow,I like most everything except the padded shoulders,I wish they were softer like one of Caruso suits I have,it is a completely different fit on shoulders.

- so I have been told.. Well, we are all here to learn.. Though IMO one should develop their own style not imitate as it is obvious & not natural.. More so IRL..
- See my next post as teh target is definitely moving!

Contrary to SF group-spoo, structure/padding does not kill kittens. In the picture of the DB you posted they look quite good, IMO.

Need more time to really make this SHINE - but I like this format.. Also if you are wondering.. Pantaloonees were sticking to my OTC socks.. it is very humid today.. & yes my shoulders are FUKED! Though this is not bad being OTR..

I don't like it,it's not because it doesn't look good or because of SF group think,I like the fit of softer shoulders more.

If I recall, the Saks MTM price started around $500?

Its close. I picked a level 6 fabric (1 being a potato sack, 10 being silk, 8 being sea island) and had all the bells and whistles, and it was 385 euros. I never went to Saks though, so I cant say.

Great looking shirt and collar, Greg.

I'm here in the northeast and although warm and dry, buried in snow! Here in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania we have abou 22 inches. Although the snow has now stopped, the winds are picking up throughout the night with predicted gusts of 45 to 65 miles per hour! Lots of drifting predicted!

See how it comes out before you tackle a few more if you'd like.

Arent these purple label RL?

They're intended to have a little bit of shoulder padding and they look great, leave them be.
