Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Moo, I think that jacket is too long for you. I really like the belly on those lapels though.

I had the same thought about the length, but wasn't sure that critique was appropriate for this thread. +1 for the lapels, too.

RE: Wool / cashmere ties

I used to really like them but I'm getting tired of them. The knots always look messy and they pil like a mofo. Any takers? I've got probably half a dozen from Rubinacci, Borrelli, Kiton, et al.

sure. will you donate them to the tie swap box?

Moo, that is good picture quality for a phone.

Decent light + steady hand

So the photo was taken before drinking in the baby's room?

 

[Mr. Moo]

Baby?

 

[mktitsworth]



Baby?

There is an unconverted crib and sleepers in the background of the picture.

That's my man cave, don't judge.

It looks a lot like my man cave.

I don't want to see any of your man caves.

To whoever recommended using the camera on the other side of the iPhone (with the help of a mirror), kudos. Now I just have to learn to take a photo using the camera on that side of the phone without twisting my body into a knot.

if you don't know this already - you can use the volume buttons (either of them) as shutter release, so you don't need to hold the phone and get a finger around to the screen to trigger a photo. It helps a lot with the arm's length pictures.

Wondering if the waistband level rule still applies so strictly when one is wearing his pants so high, though.

I'm curious as well. There may be a point where the tie just looks to short even if it does end at the right place, relative to the waistband

Yes and no. Or is it no and yes?

The off center belt buckle is kind of but the height of the pents is OK, or as the ladies like to say, "age appropriate."

Tried to make it shorter, but the knot looked weird (too long) because it was being made with a wider part of the tie. I'm a short prick. Wondering if the waistband level rule still applies so strictly when one is wearing his pants so high, though.

I would say your tie length is just right in the picture where you are wearing suspenders. When pants are worn on the hips, I try to get the tip of the tie to cover the waistband. When pants are worn higher, I try to tie the tie so it would be the same length as if I were wearing pants on the hips--which results in the tie going well past the waistband.

I believe my source for this habit was Will from ASW, but I could be mistaken.

Trying to calibrate the length of the coat for a shorter man is invariably difficult. Logically, it'd make sense to have it made shorter so as to show more leg, but yet it can border on looking cartoon-ish if so.
