1. Great “first” fit!
2. How do you like the Natalino trousers? Is the rise medium or high?

Many thanks!

Natalino are the best fitting OTR trousers I've tried, I have their brushed cotton trousers in all 5 colours. I also have a pair of VBC flannels from them which I reviewed in a video on my Instagram, link in signature below.

I'd say the rise is high, I haven't measured but they sit level with my belly button.

Hope that helps!

Temperatures went down and it's rainy. For the shopping tour today I chose a warm and casual combination.

Thank you, in fact it's only a C-63 S AMG wagon ?.

Wow, even better..perfect size and same engine....You must be in Europe because Mercedes, to my knowledge, does not release the C-63s wagon in the United States.

Nice jacket. Might want to consider shorter sleeves, to show a bit of shirt cuff.

I heard cyberspace was running low on midlife crisis photos, so I'll do my part to restore balance. New blue suit.

Yes, I live less then 10 miles away from where they are built. ?

Not that I really mind, just an FYI that fit would probably be better suited in the WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style thread, and perhaps better still in the Sport Coats and Jeans thread.

Wow! Your nicest suit yet, by far. Well done! Would love to see it also with a spread collar (i.e., non-button down), in white or pale blue. Again, great suit in fabric and fit!

Funny story. I found the jacket in a dark, dirty little thrift store. I remember reading splurgefrugal’s blog and he recommended looking for the pants if you find a nice jacket. I looked hard and actually found the pants too!

Its an Oxxford commissioned for some dude in 1988. Perfect condition, no alterations needed. $10. I took it home, made the cuff a little bigger and ironed the jacket, mostly to get the lapel roll back.

Went to a restaurant just to wear it.
