By the time I clicked on the spoiler, I'd already worked out that this was a Tom Ford ensemble. The cut is very distinctive, and while it doesn't work for everyone, this suit looks absolutely smashing on you.

I would cuff the trousers or at least shorten them a tad - just a little too much break. And lose that PS - a plain crisp white linen TV fold would be perfect here.

Tie is not SF-friendly but works well with this suit. Tie clip is unnecessary and distracting.

I can't help but wondering whether you got lucky at the recent Harrolds sale. I got my own TF at the Harrolds outlet a couple of years back for 50% off, otherwise I could never have afforded it.


Thanks Coxsackie. Yes, with the windsor cut, it captures that distinctive Tom Ford look. I might be wrong, but the O'connor might have lost some of its Tom-Ford-ness if that makes sense. Yes the trousers is a tad long - I have too little fabric now to cuff it. It would have been nice cuffed. The pocket square is a bit of a 'peacock' puff in jest. In general, I usually go for a white linen ps.

I missed out on the recent Harrolds sale. They rarely have my size anyways so I didn't even try. I do remember a few years back when they had the 50% off Tom Ford - not sure if they still do have that kind of sale these days.

The O'Conner is hit or miss for me. Something about it just doesn't scream TF when you see it. It comes across a little more... tame.

My thoughts exactly, Andy. Looks like a good ending to a long week, Erik!
