I quite like that suit.

The whole suit looks slightly "off"; collar loose, high arm hole (due to padded shoulders?), lower button stance and slimmer lapel than the past season PL, and the jacket looks pretty short.

I see guys turn back their cuffs and make it work. Not everyone can, though.

More OTR jackets need higher armholes. Not all of us have biceps the size of our thighs.

first impressions count

Thou doth protest too much, no? I didn't single you out or anything. Says it all, really.

FFY.

^^^^right!

I think its a beautiful suit. I'd merely lower the waistcoat and use a different tie.

 

[SuitMyself]

The overall ensemble has a Jay Gatsby aura to it.

 

[StephenHero]

Like this maybe.

I love everything about the suit. The waist coat could drop a tad. I'd choose another tie, but I like the cut of the coat. I guess some people prefer the boxy look to mask how fat they are. I prefer to show off the figure I worked so hard for in the gym.

 

[DocHolliday]

I like a fitted coat, but I don't like how that one's fitted. The excessively short length throws everything off. Shoulders look weird, too.

i didn't think you had instep - i just chuckled cos a large chunk of SF is self conscious pseudo-intellectual and self-pleasuring. sort of goes with the territory here.
