Thank you all for helping me look like a gentleman, but please tell me where I've screwed up so I can improve.


You look great! I like the mostly conservative look with a nice cut on the jacket/taper on the legs.

Are you rocking the robot in this pic? If so,

I think this is a great effort, and you've avoided the typical n00b temptation, which is to go absolutely over the top. I did that and am STILL working on taming it down. For example, I have a bag of VK Nagrani socks that I will never wear again ... I think some of the best dressed members on here practice "Quiet is the new Loud," and even if they do have a flamboyant streak from time to time, they balance it well with the rest.

+1 for tossing out the crazy Nagranis. I think quiet never went out of style.

Great outfit, and I also love the atmospheric lighting of this shot. Terrific colors and shadows.

I love the look, MoK, but am confused by the fit. It seems to me that the jacket is a bit too long and the slacks a bit too baggy. Could be the pose, I suppose, or are those features part of the retro vibe you're working?

Wow! Can this kid accessorize, or what? Walk proudly, young man.

They were a a bit more uniform at first, but from the very first polish, without really trying or using any different polish, the caps darkened massively more than rest of the leather. Perhaps because I tend to mirror-shine toecaps but not the rest of the shoe, and something about the leather used for this toecap was different. Odd, but I like the effect, so haven't tried to "correct" it.

It's a linen suit for hot weather, they're just baggy by nature. It's for relaxing. Jacket does look like it might be a little long though.
