I like this one more... but are you really sure you can resist the temptation of combining dark blue with grey? Go on, try it...

Hehe. I only have one light grey summer jacket that could do the job. But it's ill-fitting, so no pictures, and you have to believe me when... I mean if I say the other jacket still looked a lot better.

In the effort to wear clothes that fit, some guys will wind up with undersized clothing.

I think I'll turn this into my signature line.

totally agree on that for this fit ... i left my cuff links in the US and have been too lazy to get one - so both yesterday and today i wore my suits with casual shirts with smaller collars. i know its not correct, but i dont think its "killing" the fit ... sheesh!

also saying i "need spread collars" makes it seem like i have no spread collars ... 90% or so of my dress shirts have spread collars.

I'll take that as a compliment, provisionally.
