Y'all need to leave Stitchy alone on the hank thing.
Agreed. It's just part of Stitch (and me some times, too).

We can file this with Josh's tattoos.

Today he's gone all conservative business dress though, so it's proper not to wear a hank...

Business outfit for todays nightshift
I like everything but the tie in this outfit. Good fit etc (maybe a tad on the snug side, but whatever). I think the tie is a bit too stark in contrast to the sedate suit though.

That's a great conservative business dress look, Stitchy.

There is a pocket square missing here. Good look otherwise.
phew :lol:

Dang Stitchy! Im loving the fit! Wish there was a P.S but I take it thats not your thing..who is the suit maker and the shoe maker?

I think the shoes are Carmina simpson 80105 with reasonable certainty.
Also love the fit. The patch pockets are nice touch.

Wow, Stich. That is amazing.

thanks, guys!

choc - suit is tiberias, shoes are correctly identified as carmina punched cap toes, simpson last. from the armoury.

Y'all need to leave Stitchy alone on the hank thing.


im used to it lol


I didn't know he was known for not wearing a ps, I just thought his breast pocket looked empty.


my ample breast provides whatever extra it is that a hank would. :)

if this is true, then yes, this is the answer. :)

special for pB!





I'm still newish to SF, but there are many things I don't really get. Conservative business dress is one of them. This is pretty much exactly what I would wear to a funeral except for the socks. I also think the break is too full here. In particular because it is echoed by the upward curving chisel toe shoe. Not to beat a dead horse, but a white linen PS would set this off so right. Lastly, patch pockets don't seem to fit in the conservative business dress criteria from what I've gleaned, but you got to work with what you got.

Agree - almost, since I like the tie. Adds colour and some interest in an outfit that else could have been a bit dull.

A three piece is very complimentary to you. This fit is instructive on how a three piece, when properly fitted, brings all attention to the face and creates a solid impression of the body, elongates the body, without the body being the focus. This is a series of strong "v"s: jacket button point, vest top button point, and strong shoulders. When the jacket is unbuttoned, the top button point on the vest continues the job of drawing the eye to the tie, collar and face, with less interruption and pause if the vest were not present.
Jacket buttons at narrowest part of the waist, and vest just above sternum for slimming effect.
Very nice quarters on the jacket create a nice figure eight (like Claghorn's grey suit posted earlier today). Besom pockets are the right thing here as well.
That looks like some very heavy cloth. 10+ oz?

The issue is that his jacket is a tad too short for such a low rise. Either the pants need to come up, or the jacket needs to come down, or a little of both. The combo is also a little somber, but perhaps that is intentional. That said, he is still dressed better than 99.9% of the population.

You can't judge the break properly without a back shot and your comment is heavily biased as you tend to wear really short trousers (too short for my standards). In my opinion, the break looks fine.
