These fit look a lot worse than we are used to from you. A lot of pulling and unflattering creases especially on the DB jackets.

Much better collar shape/size and tie knot than prior post. (Collars points are still not resting under the jacket lapels, but getting closer!) The tie is still too short. Definitely don't want to go with the Trumpesque version of the tie hanging down your crotch, but it should hit mid waistband, not 2" above it. It's an easy fix—just go with a longer front blade and a shorter back blade. But again, nice progress!

I agree, but I hate the look of every other way I could stand.
The pose in question is sometimes referred to the "under arrest" pose. I like it, but it tends to make your clothes look a bit frumpy unless you adjust your posture.

"What do I do with my hands?" is the ultimate #menswear question. The world may never know.

I can see that. I had a white shirt out as an option today, but end up going with this shirt because the green tie made sense. Given how light the suit is, I had a hard time picking out a tie. What do you think, white shirt and which tie? Or something else.

I think they would all work but the bow tie and the repp are particularly nice!
