Hello all,
This is my very first post on SF. I have been dreading it for a while, but decided it was time to contribute with something, and at the same time get some input on suit fit. Hope it is the right place to post in, otherwise please forgive me and let me know where to move it to.
Background: I am 39, mostly wear suits, most of them reasonably priced bespoke Asian ones.
2-3 years back, I lost some weight, and since I am on a limited budget, I have been forced to get the best of the suits that were made for me back then - technically too big for me, but altered by a local tailor.
I think this can be seen in the following photos, but I am interested in some guidance in what to look for and instruct the tailor for next time.
The suit you are about to see is made in the sort of transition period of my weight loss, so in some aspects it is not necessarily too big, but in others it seems to be.
Also, I should add these photos are taken a while back, so I have since then learned quite a bit about combinations of pocket squares and ties from reading here...but certainly trying to learn by my mistakes.
So final remarks before I show the pictures:
- I like a somewhat tight/slim fit - (but of course not too much, interested in what you think about the jacket fit?)
- Yes, I know the PS and Tie colours are pretty horrible when combined, Promise never to combine them again!
- Yes, the tie is very unusual (I am sure you can find other words for it ) (It was a 'casual/fun friday' sort of thing)
- I have learned later on by reading up on this forum, that the trousers are too long. I will make sure this is changed
- Shoes are dark brown, belt black. Classic rookie error I will never make again
- The trousers have an odd fit somehow? Too baggy but still quite narrow at the waist? But I am having a hard time identifying exactly what should be changed
Thank you in advance for constructive critiscm, and feel free to get it out of your system regarding the tie in general or the PS/Tie Combo
