The problem is not the lapel. The gorge is far too high. Comically so ....

Thanks for your comment. Due to the fact, that i am not a
native english speaking person it's not really clear to me
what you mean with "gorge" in this context.
Do you mean 'A' oder 'B' (see my attached drawing).

In this context, it means the seam between collar and lapel ( where the notch would be, on a notched lapel).

the height/position of the gorge, as often seen in recent sartorial “fashion”, is quite high, far too high.

Early start for me today. So here my contribution. Cheers.


Simple but quite outstanding fit. Wish I managed to look that fresh and perfect in the morning. If there was a sartorial equivalent to new car smell, this would be it.

A slow start for me this morning, after a midweek foray to the theatre last evening, to see Pinter's "Betrayal", brilliantly performed by Tom Hiddleston and Charlie Cox. The sun has returned to NYC, hence the shades.

The "lifestyle" photos today are from Venice, a close-up, in a water taxi, on our way to Murano, to a glass-blowing demonstration, and the obligatory view from the Accademia Bridge, looking towards Santa Maria della Salute.

Very kind indeed. I'm humbled by the nice words.
