Yes, I realise that! I bought it before my SF days, and I really like the shirt, so I just carry on wearing it anyway! All my other shirts fit right, I think. Any critique on the suit?

Cheers, Nick.

Sleeves are a little too long, and the suit seems around one size too large? Apart from that, not bad! Like you pocket-square fold too, btw!

Really like this colour combo.

Double ode to The Netherlands. (Thank you, Vox.)

Off to the club for a meeting regarding the AT&T National. Shirt is a Pink/White stripe OCBD. Pants are linen, hence the wrinkles.

Critiques/Comments please!

Shall not be known till windwell dries
And west's no longer drowned
In winds that bring the fruit and rind

Why silk is soft and the stone wounds
The child shall question all his days,
Why night-time rain and the breast's blood
Both quench his thirst he'll have a black reply

(Hm. More fun in pre-Google-era.)

@Nelton: sc sleeves are too long, contrast between tie and shirt too little (thus the eye doesn´t find a grounding point for a stable view), tie knot not to be spoken about and trou seem to long (too much creasing). Not trying to be mean, just my point of view.

Yeah it was my first suit purchase, hence why the sizing is off, I just have real trouble getting a perfect suit fit, as ideally I am a 36 chest but I can't squeeze into size 30 trousers so I never really know what to do as I try to buy my suits in the sales, got that one for £180 which I was pretty happy about. The people I bought it from Pie in Kingston said they would be happy for me to take it and any other suits I have to their tailor and they could take it in at the shoulders. I'll definitely get the sleeves shortened and then see what I can do about the shoulders. And yes the trousers are waaaay too long and need to be tapered also. The tie knot is atrocious yes, but this tie is really thin and I'm really not sure what to do about tie knots still learning... if you could possibly suggest knots that would look good, I would be more than happy to learn how to tie them. Also spoozy note taken on the lack of contrast I will try and post more fits when I have the time but thats one of my favourite shirt, tie suit and pocket square combinations (i only have 1 pocket square, so cheers for the compliment Japanalex), so i tried to make up on this with my shoes which maybe add something different, I don't know im still learning. And finally spoozy, i like your style and wish I had as many clothes and options to play with as you seem to... Cheers Nick

No worries, bro! Yeah, if you can get it tailored it will look much nicer! The fit is the only thing wrong with it, really! Just YouTube some tie-knots (for example, half-Windsor [my fav])! Carry on lurking here, you will learn a lot (I am still learning).
