The fit....that was why I shot it in all three configurations. I prefer it open and that is how I wear it.

What about the jacket do you think is off in terms of fit? I spent alot of time at the tailor geting it to fit. Also, the pics did not best represent the quality of the fit, but I was taking them alone and finally said screw it and put up the post. They are all skewed to the side.

Feedback appreciated.

Mike

Can you please give us some of the history on the suit. Do you know the year it was made, or the weight of the tweed? English back, or straight? Was it an e-bay purchase? It looks new, especially the patch pockets which don't show the normal signs of bellowing one finds on worn jackets.

Absolutely amazing

Thanks

WOW, some truly amazing fits today. You can tell that MC loves their tweed.

Thanksgiving AfTeRmAtH!!!!

Great tweed day, all.

I'm sorry, MoK. (Thanks.)

I like the moleskin (just to pick one element). What's the name of the colour?

Hehe. Er... I think the suit does its work then. But thank you, BlackBrumel.

I bought it on E-Bay. It is from the '80s since it was from the Nutter RTW line, it is not a bespoke piece. I am not an expert on tweed weights, but it is heavy....very much a horseblanket. When I got it, it had these incredibly wide and flat shoulders. Not quite Pagoda shoulders, but close. I looked like Herman Munster in it. It has a single short vent in the back. I would say it was worn, at most, a handful of times. It might have never been worn. It really is special, and I was saving it for this challenge. It will now show up as a regular fit.

I appreciate the praise, and I agree. I am very happy with it.

Your best look yet, BB. Very well put together!

I also had a hat on today, green driving cap that was a perfect match for the green in my shoes, but I ditched it. I think I have quite enough going on in my fit already.

Fantastic. Really good stuff. Top 3 alongside Mike and artoftime IMO. Hmm, all 3pc suits too. I think I detect a theme. The tweed contest really is bringing out some great outfits. Since my last post, I also liked elements of bleachboy's and IST's looks too, and somehow I missed MoK's entry from earlier which has some lovely autumnal colours.

Very.

Great Parker.

It's interesting how many of you own this tweed garb that has never generally shown up in WAYWN... wondering how many of you don't routinely wear it. How often do you trot that out, Parker?
