Today we introduce you to Feedback 101 .... On one end of the spectrum, please learn to avoid bukake and hyperbole ... it really serves no purpose ... since it doesn't make the recipient any better.

The lapels motion is getting me seasick. Wish you had went with a sleeker shoe, otherwise I like the tones. **** bracelets and official FNB tie aside, this is a nice fit. This is OK

Find somewhere in the middle ... where the commentary is actionable and constructive and people will appreciate the thoughtful commentary that will help them become better (which in the case of this thread, i assume is) dressers.

Bris out.

Peace!


Thank you

The haters have been rather quiet, Double B. I'm not putting that down to being irreproachable, mind. I think Vox has become tired of mentioning his dislike, at least

I'd like to see your assessments more often. I reread your mockery of my Afro and my pose from one of last year's digests not long ago, and was inclined to agree now, as I did then

since visiting here i have noticed what shirts in my wordrobe have a better fit.mainly the ones that accentuate my body type more and are not baggy...a year or so from now i think i will have re invented myself into something that fits me and is stylish.its been tough so far, i actually had to learn how to shop for myself all over again and not pic out 36" jeants when 33 or 34 fit me without looking like some hood rat teenager!!!


You're me from 9 years ago. Albeit, slimmer

My advice is not only to seek slimmer clothing, but an aesthetic as well. Find around 3 people (and perhaps the work of particular tailors) whose styles you would like to appropriate and be inspired

a long road ahead i have but you are right.in comparison to what i see here i can only think of a few men who have great style.one of them is an openly gay executive but his clothing/style is rivaled by very few here that i work with.i guess the point is to surround myself with stylish individuals to develop my own style of a good type.By the way this word "aesthetic" kind off hurt me.it implies that i am tasteless no?its alright though, for where i came from i am way ahead of the pack!

i think by aesthetic he meant style ... develop your own style. i don't think it was a reference to your up-bringing or sense of taste.

you have a good attitude ... and i believe your transformation will make for great before and after shots ... that is if you are not a troll ... lol.

I troll as a defense mechanism from time to time but am no troll.im actually an admin on a few forums(not related to style)and im in charge of keeping trolling to a minimum...

But thanks for clearing that up.i dont usually admit when someone says something that bothers me but he seemed sincere without the intent to do harm.

anyway, i will be providing some after shots so that you can see what i evolve into

Nii, i am always impressed by your postings, not only the textile ones. You must be a man of great taste and politeness, and i always like what you are writing. Keep it going. And here is the thing i was sporting today (for higher res pics, go to kleidsam.blogspot.com):

Very intriguing jacket. Yellow overcheck seems really though to co-ordinate, but this is a good attempt.

Too much going on here for my liking.

Lose the cardigan, plain blue shirt, different links, a yellow patterned bow and I'd be on board with you.

Normally i am not a fan of printed ties. But this combination is an A+. Or a 1, I guess, for our Euromembers.
