Part fit, part looking for advice. Mostly finished my DB experiment but they put the nipple buttons on the Kent style jacket. Should I go ahead and go with what I originally planned and hack them off? Also kudos to you if you guess which of the two I wore later in the evening. Very, very nice day in Korea today

Apologies for my hair, just got a haircut and it's not as messy as it should be today. Also those trousers are not actually as high as that, accidentally wore them too high in the picture.

Aeglus, Is it an optical illusion or is the top button farther from the center button than the bottom button is?

Aeglus, the jacket looks very dated to me, which is fine if that was the look you were going for. I enjoy your style, but this is not looking good to me.

I like it, though I think, if possible, a slightly more pinched waist cold go a long way to modernize the ensemble.

They have a very similar women's cream colored suit this season, I believe it was part of the Maidstone group.

Aeglus - i think these two are a miss. The positioning of the buttons are funky (maybe it is the way you have buttoned it), there is something funny going on with the right shoulder, the gorge looks dated and the shaping of both the jacket and pants just doesnt seem great for bespoke/MTM.

Will be smashing. The tan loafers work too.

I would NOT turn the suit into women's wear with bust darts. I'd work with the tailor to provide just a little give through the chest.
