But, since Hitchcock is bending forward, wouldn't we expect the skirt to spread out a little?

Bending forward with his weight on his left leg, right leg shifted forward- yes, we expect the stripes to spread a little in that case. Where are whnay's new photos? What a tease..........

Some of the posters give me the impression that they are discussing the merits of Shakespeare vs. Bacon without being able to read, write or ever having seen a performance. Now this first man may have recently seen a performance of a certain film (That, or the person taking the picture was 3 foot tall and he was merely trying to fit into the lens angle.)

Ah yes, given your history of executing commissions that are as tasteful as they are well-fitted, you are certainly qualified to make that assessment. And lest we embarrass you by listing all your achievements, let's leave out your impeccable choices made in both shirting and accessories.

It's apropos demonstrating that he doesnt know the difference between a first fitting (no lining, bound with pins) and a completed suit. Not to focus on him though, just about all of the posters in this thread do not know the difference.

There was enough space left for lining?

My goal on the internet is to never post anything that will haunt me like this jacket has haunted FNB or the Moo in Socks picture has haunted Moo.

I like the subtle way he places the blame at his tailor's feet by saying (claiming) that it was a first fitting.

Did the tailor confuse the inches and cm markings when writing down instructions to the cutter?

I really do enjoy Picard memes.

We should get some shots of you and we could make Despos memes.
