Shooting my newly serviced Summicron 35 into a dirty mirror isn't doing it much service. But here's what I wore today:
Brown corduroy jacket by Hugo Boss, white shirt by Cerri, green vintage wool tie by Gae Laird, a Scottish label. Below I have olive green Incotex chinos. All thrifted.

Shoulders look disproportionately wide.

Hmm. There's a bit of extension in the shoulder and a pretty large sleevehead, but the seam itself sits just on the end of my shoulder. Personally I kinda like it.

Looked a little unbalanced to me, too. But considering the effect of camera angles, lighting, posture, and the possibility that cloth hasn't settled, I tend not to comment about such things. Might be worth giving it another look in person though.

Thanks--I'll take a look next time I wear it. Posture is probably more relaxed and "natural" in the closeup shot where I'm standing rather than the photograph of me walking, for what that might be worth.

Good arvo gents,

Cross post from way back to the Bond Challenge a few weeks ago. Trying to emulate Moore from Live and Let Die. Sorry for the quality. Enjoy.

That's more of what I noticed, but like Andy said, it's still really nice.

I don't have any problem whatsoever with the shoulder extension on @heldentenor 's suit jacket. I think it looks great.
