BTW, that DB is actually pretty bad. Bad lapels, bad pick stitching, buttons are off. doesn't fit him that great but it's most likely RTW.

I don't think I am better looking, fitter or more stylish than this young man's suit. I do think he could do better for a DB, though.

Foo, the guy looks like a nerd to start with .

The loose collar is the least of his problems.

Collar couldn't be much better, and I prefer the button spacing. Differing opinions.

You don't think so? The gap between it and your shirt collar is fairly wide and your lapels are gaping.

Either way, I have learned something from each and every photo, and hope that this collection may help revive this thread.

Enjoy, SF.

Not any more than is already there.

I think you suppressed the waist to the point where I'd have to either remove ribs or wear a corset.

And while the collar appears an issue in a static picture on SF, I frankly am not concerned because, practically speaking, no more than .1 of .1 percent of the population will even notice, and even then only in a still photo.

Couldn't any of this be from my posture in the photo, or the fact that my arm is up taking a narcissistic restroom photo?

I agree, that's a fine specimen.

Suit's nice too.

That was pretty unnecessary.

I actually didn't suppress the waist at all. What you are seeing is the effect of a wider shoulder and chest--because they are so narrow as is, you look like a stick. I did smooth over the area where your hip pockets are, but that shouldn't make the jacket any tighter than it already is.

Well, you can see it gaping a little in your other photo, too.

I see this now. I am, basically, a 5'9" stick.

I guess I could buy 38R coats and have them significantly altered, but it's not worth it to me to do so.
