How does this look?

[Holstein Bilter]

Hi.

Attachment 10796

I used to wear MUCH baggier stuff, that felt like a tent.

This is actually as tight as I was willing to go (also because I'm fat and any tighter
tailoring would accentuate that...I will reserve slim fit tailoring till I drop some LBs)

Just wanted to share the work in progress.

Here's what I have on:

Borelli button shirt w/Dunhill cuffs
Bvlgari Tie
Coach Belt
CK straight leg slack
AE wingtips

Let me know if I'm on the right track and what's more to do.

Thanks.

Not too bad. I like the shirt, but I would shorten the pants a bit.

+1.

Very nice overall! Shorten the pants a bit and try wearing brown shoes as well. Otherwise, the outfit is kind of dark (dark blue, dark grey, pale blue, black shoes).

Thanks. The shoes are dark brown but came out black cuz of my cell phone cam. Yeah, I'll add a more colorful tie next time.

It looks great, HB.

- If you're actually fat, one would never guess it.

- The shirt looks good to me. Not overly blousy at all, and it is dificult to get more a precise fit without moving on to a custom shirtmaker.

- The trousers should be shortened as people note.

- The trousers also fit too tightly around your hips. Those look like on-seam pockets, and if so, that is a pocket configuration that is especially unforgiving...they Dumbo out when tight. If you like this fit for yourself, try slanted pockets instead. Or, if you're still losing weight, you will probably see this effect diminish with those trousers.

- I don't mind the monotone blue myself, but I would hope that your jacket leavens that a bit.

- Bulgari ties have amazing silks and they seem made very carefully. I dislike most of their patterns, however, and am happy that I cannot see it in your cell phone shot. They are also typically wider than what I prefer, and I think you could carry off a narrower tie easily.

To me, you are not only on the right track, but well along on it.

I think you look pretty good. If I want to get picky, I'd say lose almost an inch in the length of the pants. But I really do like everything else about it including the color scheme and fit.

Yes, you are *still* fat. Sorry for sounding harsh but people's negative comments is what kept me going.

I am fat too and has been on diet/workout and went from 245lbs to 210lbs (target 170lb by Oct btw).

The most exciting things that happened to me were not people's compliments but how I have to buy new belts because the old ones became too long and how I am able to fit into old clothes now!

But your outfit looks great! The only thing I don't like in your outfit is your shoe; they look slightly chunky which could add to your weight. The tie could be slightly lower but it's fine in the picture. Don't worry too much about the pants length; they will just grew longer and longer because the reduction of circumference of your waist/butt/thigh (at least that's what happened to me). You would probably end up buying new clothes anyway.

Not harsh at all! I need that kind of honesty to make sure I'm making progress.
I'm at 230 lbs now and am target to get to 175 as well. I'm shooting for August

Thanks.. Hopefully the weightloss will diminish that trouser affect.

I like the shirt and tie. The model, not so much.

It's the belly isn't it! =)

+1 on points made above esp. about the pants being too long...

Congratulations on your weight loss and keep up the great efforts

You don't need to buy new belts, simply have a cobbler shorten them.
