I like this one a lot actually, who made this, someone English I assume?

Is that pinned or the actual shape? I've seen many a suit on a stand achieve that result but then fail miserably once all the pins are pulled.

Not the biggest fan. It's almost over-tailored.

Digging the A's so far. Agnelli and the Avenger.

It was posted by Master Tailor Darren Beaman, who used to participate on the forums but now, after quite the kerfluffle, does not. I last saw him over at Film Noir Buff's. You can do a search if you want more info.

Also awesome, but I don't think you should be allowed to nominate suits made by your own tailor.

This picture of Noel Coward outside Las Vegas in the desert may not be entirely relevant to the thread, but I've always enjoyed the overall style it conveys.
