Coat seems slightly long, otherwise not half bad and the best I've seen in a while out of Hollywood.

Not quite up to Brad Pitt at Cannes, but good.

Why couldn't they put a handkerchief and flower in their necessary places?

If you're not going to put things into those places, you might as well not have a pocket and buttonhole--just rip the damned things out!

I agree that the hankie is necessary. I think the flower is optional. I never leave the house without a hankie, with black tie or otherwise. I probably wear a flower with a suit about 5% of the time, and with black tie about 50% of the time.

Agreed, hankie would have made this even better.

Not with a fold collar shirt. That requires a wing collar.

I think the pants could be a bit slimmer, or maybe more tappered at least.

Lightly padded sloped shoulders will do this. Especially if you are a small guy which I suspect he is.

Excellent, except that the tie seems to be grosgrain while the lapel is satin.
