This is interesting because I don’t think I would have guessed this was you. A cool departure from what I associate with you.

How did you associate me? Probably a little older.

Lovely fabric mate. What is the size of the wide lapels?

I always love your family photos! What a lovely happy family. Beautiful suit as well!

Thanks my man for the kind words

Nice fit! There is just something amazing about bengal stripe shirts. So versatile!

Good day to you. They are 11cm at higher point. That was a tough but intelligent decision in my opinion.

I think you have found a good match. Let's stage a thrifty deal fight between @An Acute Style vs. @cowboyxx2000... I put £50.00 down for whoever finds a 2.5 metre (Dormeuil) cloth fabric for less than £65.00 with a proof of receipt and your PayPal account, I will make the necessary money transfer...

Who is on the bet? Let's go....

Ok nobody took me up on my offer. Deal is off, lol.

I have been eyeing those wide lapels. They look good on you, though!

You know what? Has been a tough decision because with one only single button (and therefore a lot of aperture) i thought an important flannel houdstooth fabric was not enough valorized. Hope that was clear

Your waistband is also very high for MTM. I see this a lot for Bespoke offerings.

you see lot's of everything nowadays. I also design a RTW collection and in 2 models i have put those waistbands. In 2 variants. It's not usual for RTW

After two days of snow wear (hiking boots, cords and jeans), it's good to return to suits again.

Today's suit may not have its final wearing of the season today, but, like Sarah Bernhardt, it's definitely on its farewell tour for the season.

Shirt - Brooks Brothers MTM
Tie - Hackett

Jacket and shirt by Cerruti, woven woollen tie by Michelson, duds by Austin Reed, shoes are "Trent" by Loake. Pullover I can't remember.

It has a higher than normal buttoning point which is why it looks long. Also a one button. Trying the vintage look

Isn't one of the main benefits of going one button so that you can drop the buttoning point without worrying about the distance between the two buttons or aligning the bottom button with the top of the pocket?

Working through a new shirt pattern here. I think the collar should be slightly wider spread for my personal taste. Any opinions?
