Great cufflinks.Originally Posted by harry2quinn
Nice shoes. Won't get into the shirts topic except to say they don't look incredibly out of place to my admittedly less-trained eyes.
With a couple of my odd jackets at the tailor, the same three jackets are cycled through on these pics. But I guess that's the challenge, right - making do with what you have to produce something fresh
Vintage jacket, Guess shirt, RLBL pants, Nagrani socks, AE Fairfax shoes.
Rubinacci shirt, Incotex pants, Allen Edmonds belt, Pal Zileri shoes.
Bespoke orphaned suit jacket, Robert Talbott shirt, Mabitex pants, Nagrani socks, EG monks.
Saturday night: BR shirt, LGC belt, D&G jacket, Levi 501s, AE beater shoes.
Chester Barrie shirt, D&G jacket, Robert Talbott PS, Mabitex pants, Saks house label argyle socks, Barker shoes.
Very nice

What % of your arsenal makes up garments produuced after 2001? I ask this seriously.Originally Posted by SpooPoker
Rough estimate of my post 2001 stuff: Suits - 30% Odd coats - 30-40% Trou - 100% Shirts - 100% Ties - 20% Shoes - 60% I have interesting tastes that are hard to satisfy without going really upmarket (eg sacks and tweeds). And I haven't the budget for bespoke. So I thrift and troll eBay and AAAC Trad Thrift Exchange. Small-timer creedo: No need to buy new when I can get NOS or lightly worn used.

Stick around son, it's always good to learn to put into words how you feel about clothing. [besides for WTF were you thinking?]Originally Posted by mmkn
You also need to get off your transference of Alex's and Jon's creations.
Leave the past to the past, you'll enjoy this clothing hobby more.

I didn't comment on Alex's shirt, because I can't see it. I am sure it is nice. The suit, and the suit you linked, are awful. The common factor in the two posts is not my dislike for Jon Green, a man whom I do not know, but the shabbiness of fit and styling of the suits. Sorry.
I am, however, happy for you that you like them, but when I see those pics, I don't see you, and a don't see somebody comfortable, I see angular cloth sticking out at angles like a compound fracture.

Like this a lot. Good color balance and use of bow. Looks good as is - wouldn't want more sloppytura with this.Originally Posted by luftvier

Like the suit and tie very much. Collar on shirt I think is an issue.
Whatever man. You're just the type of dude that I would pound out just for GP. I look forward to it.Originally Posted by Animal Thug

Priceless.
This jacket is on the verge of being too large.Originally Posted by Mr. Moo
Great SC. I would have liked to see it more dressed up than down.
Glad it got there safe and fast C - Enjoy!Originally Posted by SpooPoker
Thanks man.
Nice fit as well. Shoes have a great patina.
Thanks, Spoo.
No. It's actually the fourth iteration of a collar shape framing my face [angles continuing my mandibular lines] that Mr. Kabbaz has done for me.Originally Posted by mmkn
I was about to do a comparison of two of the top tier bespoke shirtmakers [Alexander Kabbaz and Renee Bassetti] and my favorite RTW [Jil Sander] shirts for Eustace Tilley, but on further relfection I realize that the bespoke relationship is a very personal and private one between the makers and their client. I have an immense amount of respect for these makers and what they are capable of, and so will respect what they specifically have done for me.
That said, as far as fit, I only wear Mr. Kabbaz's shirts to my fittings with Mr. Green.

Please elaborate.Originally Posted by luftvier
I think the shape of the collar may be fine, but it seems to need some additional attention with the iron.
I really like the fact that you are a young attorney and you are dressing properly. Our profession has really devolved into a slobfest. I know firsthand, because I was there myself....wallowing in ill fitting "comfort" clothes for quite some time. My office is casual and most here think I am a bit eccentric. However, the fact remains that when I wear these clothes I feel like a professional, and my work product reflects that feeling.
