It's a bad "lookbook" for one. I do like the grey peak lapel suit though, but I'm not fond of that DB shawl collar vest.

I really like the dove-grey peak lapel suit...

Much better than that awful clown get-up posted on the Sartorialist.

Hahaha - if you mean the guy with the orange pants, navy blazer and purple gingham shirt, I actually liked that outfit.....

Some items seem to fit too loosely, some seem a little too tight. And some of the colour combinations are slightly too clashing too. You know that phrase from robotics to describe the unsettled/disturbed sense one has when viewing a humanoid robot that almost looks human but not quite? The Uncanny Valley?

That's what I feel when viewing that lookbook. Almost right, but not quite and the effect is quite unsettling.

The linen herringbone seems OK though.

You are right...thanks.

I think PS's items may the most overpriced (compared to value, that is) in the clothing category. I have never been really thrilled with any of their items...ever.

Interesting how this coat's "X" appears to extend from the button almost to the shoulder and to the bottom of the quarters:

I don't feel any passion.................still like the regular PS line better.

Good point. I find Z Zegna's jackets to be similar as well. See Dagenham's various outfits on WAYWRN.

It reminds me a lot of RL as well since all the models look like they're 38Ls.

I picked up one jacket recently, it is at the tailors so I can't refer back to it at the moment, narrow lapels, tight shoulders, great over all feel, silk linen mix I think.

I am looking forward to spring time and the chance to wear it.

The very little I have tried to date felt great.
