I know that Bull has been sighted on this thread, so I'd like to clarify that the pulling is caused by my hands in the pockets. I don't trust anyone in Ghana to adjust the fit, however

And yes, I am pumped-up


Excellent to see, Barima. It looks terrific, and I thought you'd like it!

Well, technically this is a fit and I hate posting a new thread just to get some nitpicks, so here goes...

Did my second fitting today, just wondering if you guys have any comments. First pic is before I messed with buttoning point, second is after I told them to lower it 1cm. I'm going with the shorter sleeve and shorter trouser leg, will have 2" cuffs as well (also have a second pair with no cuffs).

Still just the second fitting so it's far from finished, and obviously trousers look like **** because they're not pressed. Looking at the pics on my computer, I'm thinking I might go with just a little bit more waist suppression.

This is how you dress on a Saturday of a holiday weekend?!?!? Please tell me you are going to a concert and not a beach BBQ! (very snazzy in any case...)

taper the pants from knee down to leg opening of 7.8" - right now leg opening looks like 9.0" to 9.5"

I think the 'hawk-eyes' may all be blinded by that combination.

Spoo, I think this combination would've worked better with tan/khaki pants. Just a suggestion.

From a wedding yesterday. Beautiful weather (slight headwind here), lovely ceremony, and great company.

To my mind tan/khaki pants are a predictable addition to this look, that's why they will be a bit boring.

I have to say I like the previous button position better.
