not uber phail at all, but I would probably have the sleeves tailored a little (should make it look less boxy), nice piece otherwise

hate the jacket and socks brosef sorry
pants are too frumpy also
love the shoes but i may be biased
The LeU is the shirt right?
Thanks slstr and yeah the shirt is indeed the Lumen et Umbra. Excellent piece with great linen fabric and awesome details everywhere
I like the sportcoat, but something feels off about the shoes.... the color, maybe?

I like those colors together, but am unsure about the textures. What are the pants? I hope they're not denim. And is the SC a canvas? I don't love the pockets, but that's personal taste. I also might have goon with wool, because the taupe cotton (if that's what it actually is), combined with the pockets gives it a bit of a J. Peterman vibe, but Fuuma has convinced me that patch pockets can look good (his example was, if I'm remembering properly, an olive green Engineerd Garments coat). Something looks about sloppy about your break, too, and things look a little full in the upper thigh/seat. I think dark navy trousers, brown shoes, and a camel SC would be a great color combo, though. I even like your oxford.
thanks! i like the shoes with it, but a lighter beige-er color might be better.
thank you, koy. the sleeves actually sit a little shorter, and tend to wrinkle a bit too, which brings them up. i think i just pulled down on them too hard for the pic, but they defo look a tad long in the pic, agreed.
thanks, synth. pants are LVC cotton chinos. the SC is a cotton/linen blend. wool pants might be better, but i never have done a cotton pants/SC combo and wanted to try it out. gray flanel was suggested, might be good for next time.

I like the jacket, but agree about the socks. And the shoes.
One of Stitches' best casual attempts, I think.
Stitchy, overall I feel like the look is a success. I, however, hate flaps with patch pockets and would recommend having them removed. That said, on a jacket as casual as that, I love patch pockets. The shoes are fine, but I'd prefer bluchers over balmorals. I reserve balmorals for suit wear only.
I think cotton trousers (including jeans ) work better than wool for this jacket.
