Happy Monday.
RLPL SC, Hilfiger shirt, Paul Stuart tie, Polo Italy glenplaid pants, Wright Cordwainer vintage shoes.
SC is going back to the tailor. They did something to the shoulders when they adjusted the collar and that is why there is that lump showing up. I thought it would flatten out after a wear or two, but nope. Back for tweaking.

I like blue shoes though I feel those are too light for the otherwise altogether conservative nature of the outfit.
My bigger concern lies with the pant/coat combo.
Far too busy together. At first I thought they were gray flannels but that houndstooth against an almost-houndstooth pattern of the same scale in the coat =

I hadn't thought that gray flannels were the best option, just that, until I saw the pattern, it was less of an issue.

Ah! Would navy be a better option?Originally Posted by bleachboy
I think most of your stuff is rather sedate (nice way of saying "blah"). Your jackets looks like they are suit separates, for the most part. The fit is not horrible but your color sense is. You make matters worse when you try to spice up the outfits (see: blue shoes). My suggestion, start off with the basics. Navy sportcoat, some kind of herringbone or tweed/gunclub. Get some blue shirts, stripes and solids, they will work great with your skintone. Pinks also. Stay away from patterned pants, unless they fit you perfectly (those don't). Blue shoes are just not going to work in your closet right now. Don't ever wear those again. Your posture is not doing you any favors and those eyeglass frames are not doing you any favors, I would get something round. My thoughts on an outfit for you: A navy or brown herringbone sportcoat (cut like the Brooks sacks that luftvier has been wearing), some mid grey solid pants which are slimmer trough the calves and leg opening, a solid blue or blue stripe shirt with long points and a slight spread collar, a small patterned tie and some dark brown/cordovan wingtips (think RL Darlton, Alden etc).

thx C.
Great looking suit, Nii. However, I think you are having some (rare as of late) fit issues....Originally Posted by MBreinin
what are they?
edit: oh God - i am going to sound like the senior members who explain any criticism they receive ...
looked back at the pictures and i take it you are referring to the creasing in the middle? I am definitely a few pounds heavier than my normal weight (206 now .. normally at 200) but since i am moving in all the shots ... the end result is the clothes will not look impeccable. I plan on taking all moving shots this week in part because of the rant by whnay on the DB patch pocket thread.
