Quarter-lined Dinner Jacket: a Stroke of Stupidity or Genius?

[mmkn]

^ Perfect choice on the shawls instead of peaks, softening the formality nicely.

Nice belly too (on the shawls I mean).

The shoes are not such a big deal, but the shirt really looks like a work shirt. Walk over to Paul Stuart and get one in your size. If the wedding is this weekend, you can pin it under the cuffs and right at waist level to make it fit and the pins won't be visible or bother you. Then get it altered if you want. You put too much effort into the DJ to have it undermined with a work shirt, front and center.

I'll try to fuss with the colors in Photoshop, but the lighting outside was very harsh.

Fine. But don't waste time you could be using to buy a shirt.

The jacket looks great, Foo.

Not a very insightful contribution (hey, I'm not dopey) but I find this thing awful.

Can we see a picture of the inside of the dinner suit? After all, wasn't that what this thread was about?

The dinner clothes, or the Kiss extravaganza?

Serious? I'm stunned.

I think it is fantastic.

Are you just picking on the Foo again?

Not at all - I actually like most of foo's tailored stuff (I do find his AM shirt jacket positively hideous). I find the cut horrible, much worse than his (or matt's) other Rubinacci DBs. It looks like he lost 20 lbs since he was fitted for the jacket. The shawls are disproportionately large and eek. I'm also getting tired of the narrow DB buttoning thingy - just doesn't look very good IMO. (I expect the Spanish Inquisition now)

I think it's just the busy background which doesn't help the silhouette.

Horrible? Say what?

So that I can work through my flabbergastation, when you say that is it "much worse" than the two Matty's Ruby DBs, are you saying that those Rubinacci DB's are also not to your taste?

If so, I can understand your point of view a bit better even if I don't share it.

Otherwise, your reaction strikes me like a UFO that has crash landed on Earth, killing all inside and destroying all internal sliding shelves.

hmmm... OK...

Get over it vox, it's just one dude's opinion - and probably one you don't value anyway (if there is such a thing)

You have such a thin skin sometimes.

I am genuinely curious about what you so dislike about this...can you articulate something more than what sounds like the feeling that it is cut far too big for him?

Nevermind: I see that you've edited your post, and dropped the poundage from 25 to 20.
