Two more pictures with a MTM shirt from venturini (cotton-linen) and a tie.

Better.
As I said , a few alterations - I guess, Jungmann will not even write a bill - and your suit will look very, very fine. Although right now one can clearly note the suit's handmade pedigree at first sight.
When wearing a three-piece-suit, imho only the waist button should be closed, thus permitting to show more of the vest and the whole ensemble will look more "summerly" .

Servus, Camlot

This obsessive Saville-inspired notion that a suit should fit like a sculpted 14th century suit of armor is just not applicable here.

Very nicely done.


May I guess the suits worn by this gentleman here would be right up your alley then?

IMO, Spiffy's pictures are good examples of suits/clothes that doesn't fit while Mafoofan's Rubinacci jacket is a very good example of an counterproductive silhouette.

While Cluster's suit looks to be over sized due to his very slim figure, are there any way to boost his figure other than wearing 'slightly' oversized clothes?

Okay, maybe a bit on the roomy side but it must be difficult being a pretty skinny guy. Very subjective of course but despite a little too much room, I think the outfit looks quite nice and fresh on the whole.

Conversely, I have to say I abhor your grotesque button-down style collar.

I don't think much of your Ikea chest of drawers either!

But you've recognized them.

A man of so high a level that he snores about - btw really nice - IKEA drawers would not have noticed them. Whether because he don't know such "shabby stuff" or because he is gentleman enough to ignore it. In a real gentleman both should meet.

Furthermore it's the suit, we should rate, not the furniture, isn't it?

P.S.
We don't even know, whether these are his drawers.....

Ive actually had the opportunity of seeing the suit in person, and the man.... and it actually drapes and wears very nice, so maybe its the photo thats a little misleading.

I was actually surprised how well it looked..... lets remember this is a linen suit, for warm weather, therefore it should be #1 comfortable.... max you've got 2 thumbs up from me.

If anything I would wear it a few times, then go in for a tweaking of things YOU find not up to spec.

VIVE LA FRANCE

P.S. Ive got some Ikea furniture also, who cares....... 99.9% of people think my Rolf Benz couch is from Ikea and my Ikea end table from some overpaid italian designer.

It's not very good is it. Just look at the width of the sleeves at the cuff. I don't know about most people but when I try a suit on whether it's bespoke, MTM or off the peg it takes me about 30 seconds to decide whether it works or not. It's about the same amount of time it takes to decide whether or not you think a girl is attractive. To be absolutely brutally honest this would have taken about ten seconds.

In the last photo, the latissimus region (the underarm) of the arm holding the cameraphone, there seems to be a lot of fabric hanging there. I photo from the back would be nice.

But my first impression is that the jacket is too big and so are the pants. You are a skinny person and I think it would flatter the body better if it fit more closely.

Also, you do look a bit like a hitman. Make sure you take your throat lozenges before the next hit. You don't want to give away your location with a cough.

I just realized that that is not a bookshelf but the foldaway staircase to his hidden gun collection and other hitmen gadgets.
