I apologize, consider it done. Hopefully, it is a little less annoying now.

Is this an example of GY's work?


No, this is just something I saw on the Sartorialist as I was going through trying to find a picture to help describe the fit I am after. Again, the main thing I want to use this picture for is to show how fitted I want the suit. Definitely am going to want much softer shoulders and probably more open quarters. Overall, this suit just really caught my eye in terms of not being too loose or too fitted for my taste.

Do not show the tailor this picture

I once did such a thing with a tailor and told him BUT don't do X, Y or Z

He lost his notes and just copied the picture...to my dismay when I noticed this at the forward fitting

If a picture has just about everything you like...ONLY then show him the picture.

Good advice, I didn't really think about that. I'll see if I am able to find a photo of exactly what I am after. I've come close in pictures other than this one but they are always in such movement that they don't seem like they would be very helpful.
