Ongoing Bespoke Projects

I like how the pocket square is the pocket lining pulled up

Isn’t that a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode?

We had a quick Indian Summer (am I allowed to use that term?) and got one wear of this suit before going to storage. Not sure why it looks so grey as it is very blue. One concern (unfounded as it turns out) was that it would look too much like denim. It is wool/linen dead stock from Huddersfield.

A while back I posted about my blue single breasted peak lapel one-button suit. It’s almost done. Getting there!

But there are two buttons marked?
And for a peak (rising) lapel the shoulders are too 'downward' and rounded, in my opinion.
To my eye this kind of spoils the dramatic effect of peak lapels.
Not sure whether this is helpful, at that stage or in general. But please take into consideration that I've just had my fifth Negroni for tonight and I may not know what I'm talking about.
Cheers.

Rope the shoulders.

Rope the shoulders.

So, I thought about doing that, and still might. Too sloped?

I think this looks great and I really like the shape, position and point direction of the lapels. Sharp peaks that point to the sky and are set high look terrible to me.

Forgive me, and I'll never mention it again, the beard is pretty distracting.

Suit looks nice too.

That’s okay. I know. The beard is growing on me though.

Agreed. I hate peaks that are angled up too high. Looks like chicken wings about to fly off
