Men of the Ripped Cloth?
You like it...the sleeves
not in whether a sleeve line falls straight without distortion, which is table stakes for good bespoke. one would think.
^One day, I would like to experience the wisdom of you two.
Sleeves are something that the vast majority of us struggle a bit (or a lot) with, the back of them in particular.
Fuckin' love fests...
Many of those old photographs of yachtie were also taken, I believe, while he was on a fitness improvement strategy that included weight loss. He was holding off alterations/recuts until he was closer to his goals.
am i the only one to think that this particular one doesn't particularly flatter the wearer? it hangs stiffly and isn't sufficiently shaped -- an overly boxy, sack-like aesthetic that doesn't do the wearer any favors, particularly since he's on the short side.
^If you click the link, you'll read that Yachtie requested a clean look. It's not what I prefer, but I think he looks great in it. And imo, to judge how flattering the cut is, you'd have to know what his body looks like, which we don't. Although, iirc, he has posted that he's not in the best of shape.
fair enough, let me rephrase. i don't think it makes him look particularly good, no matter what his body type, and i still think the jacket hangs like a stiff "A".
probably to some degree. the harsh lighting also probably doesn't help overall.
He's posing for a picture.
and?
Well, it's not how he would normally stand is it?
The danger of judging a piece of tailoring by a still picture in terms of something like "stiffness" is that whatever you observe might have nothing to do with the tailoring. It's simply too vague and subjective a measure.
I think the key is that it's hard to find anything 'wrong' with the suit. Sleeves like that, for example, are pretty rare in RTW.
IIRC,that coat of Yachtie's pictured is made out of Harrison's Moonbeam cloth which is very soft.

No ****?
All you need is love
guys -- i thought we were debating and admiring the finer points of the work an acclaimed tailor, no? i don't hear anyone saying that it looks like RTW. we are well past that point in the conversation.
