Yup, except Jordon has a small head size, wide shoulders and is pretty damn tall. So visually shorten a bit for him would not hurt.

There is nothing wrong for being unsatisfied with one's own physical shape.

I was not content with my own shape (6', 245lb) thus my diet plan (currently 205lb target 170lb). But for things I could not change, such as height, proportions, postures, uneven bodies, etc, I would have to rely on visual magic to conceal them. I want to look my best and cbf what ratios or stupid rules I'll have to follow.

Ah-- the source of crabbiness reveals itself.

Good luck-- losing al that is no joke.

Man, Matt has got a great wardrobe...one Negative I noticed is all of his arm sleeves are very baggy and not proportionate to the slim cut of all his suite/slacks. they just seem too loose fitting and don;t go along with the slim fit look.

Good show. I still think your ties are too wide though. I think if you got them a bit slimmer, your tie knot would sort itself out. Do you ever feel like your fighting with your tie when trying to knot it?

The tie is actually pretty narrow (8 cm across). What you're seeing is the back blade coming out parallel with the front blade. It's a look I'm toying with but I don't know if I'll stick with it.

Yeah, I got that part. I just thought it looked like a bit of a **** sandwich. Since moving to 3.25 inch ties, I've switched to undimpled knots and haven't looked back. But, you know, to each his own.

FWIW, in this lineup, I like mafoofan's best, and I love iammatt's stuff. Your recent photo from a distance on WAYWRN, mafoofan, looks great too.

Whnays shoulders look like they have much more roping - is this a non-standard rubinacci request?

Is nice....
