Yes the pick stiching is a bit much, also the right sleeve seems a bit shorter then the left.

My man!The fact is, I find the notion that changing any part of a suit makes it "contemporary" to be perfectly absurd. I also reject the idea that sticking to classic rules means everyone has to dress alike. To the contrary, buttoning at the waist means high-waisted men wear high-waisted jackets and low-waisted men wear low-waisted jackets. That's the whole point. The Agents in The Matrix wore the same suit of the same cut, even though they had different builds:

Trends are still bland and unflattering--they just refresh from time to time. Classic dressing says that each man should wear clothes of the cut and color that flatter him, with ample room for variation. It says that tailors know better than designers.
The fact is, I'm on the young and thin side, and I don't feel the need to wear low-rise trousers just because GQ thinks I should.
