Don't wear this for one of your lectures.

Wear it when hanging with the uptown girls. Ditch the shirt and tie though, do something à la Simon Doonan or Tommy Ford.

The swellness of it would appeal. No surprise the shapes are made by une femme.

I like the suit, Manton. Looks good to me.

Btw, I saw your trousers in the shop. Cool loopy things on the waist. Are those for braces?
Will you post pics of your Solitos, too?

It looks good to me too. You are encouraging me rethink to my retirement from bespeaking tailored clothing.

Lanky and tall is a damn good look. I wish I were built more like that ... I'm lean but tend to muscle up too much. Muscle is not a look I like.

Have your cobbler replace the buckles with Velcro, unless you hate that ripping sound.

The Rubinacci tie is my new favorite.

Also, no offense to Mina (who is terrific) but I have dubbed this suit my "bloody Italian gigolo suit." Thanks to LabelKing for making me aware of the phrase.

Funny, I would have said that the ideal build for an Italian tailor is somewhere between the leanness of a soccer player and the torso of a boxer. You should try to get to Mina just to see how Dino looks.

Your gigolo twin brother would pick the Rafael first, I think. It would work better with the tan.

I'm sure somewhere you can find a discussion trashing every post in this thread that makes the Naples streets look as clean as an operating table.
