As a right hander, I find putting on a watch on my right hand to be the world's most difficult task.

Thanks guys. I was in a silly mood this morning, so thought lets go over the top.

Thanks - I don't normally wear solid colour bows, but it makes a change.

I can't really comment on fit from those photos, but the fabric is very nice.

Much goodness the past 48 hours, but there are a few real stand-outs:

Wonderful shape to the jacket and nice, simple, combining.

There is a reason this has already been quoted about ten thousand times. Having said that:

I've competed in endurance sports for the past 14 years, and this has resulted in sub-5% body fat, a 30" waist, cyclist thights, and a lean upper body. Steed adds bulk/drape to the chest, which further accentuates my narrow waist. Rubinacci adds a bit less to the chest but even more to the shoulders. Attolini is the leanest throughout of the three. I'll post a comparison of all three within the next few weeks. You can be the judge which, if any, works in your view. (I've enjoyed all of them.)

Cheers.

The top half is terrific, but I share the view that this is a little unbalanced top to bottom. Is there really no room to slim the leg of the trouser a little? I think this would improve the look a lot... Perhaps unpleated trousers would make this easier?

P.S. One trouser leg seems to be longer than the other?

Better...

You've got the height to pull off the 8-button, it's a style I much prefer over going down the four button route.

Something needs to

I'm getting in a late-winter rut, itching to try some more spring-like combinations, but the weather isn't playing ball.

Revealing my ignorance I didn't realise anywhere else mucked about with the clocks.

Adrian- there's a free app "gorillacam" that gives you a self-timer, FYI. Probably others out there by now, as well.
