I love these big Italian collars of yours. This look is grossly lacking in green and orange, however.
I like everything about this look except the neckwear.
Haven't looked at this thread for some time and... wow. You've come a long way. Congrats!

DY - something with the proportions. Seems like the jacket is either too long or the pants is too short. Can't put my finger on it, but the proportions are off to my eye(s).Originally Posted by niidawg3
Thanks, Nii. I am always battling with damn proportions. Yesterday was the first time I wore those pants. As soon as I put them on, I felt they need about .5 to an inch of lengthening. I am conscious my coats always seem a tad long and I need to work with that, but that's the best I can do with OTR due to my freaking body proportions. Otherwise, they'll be too tight or the vents will flap out madly. I am convinced my solution is going MTM, and that is my New Years resolution. I've got a substantial part of my Christmas bonus reserved for that!!
Something about this seems a bit off to me, D. - not feeling the ticket pocket on the SC - feels almost like a broken suit. - you have an extremely athletic figure, especially your thighs, and those tight pants with narrow bottoms and big cuffs, paired with chunky shoes does not work IMO.Originally Posted by SpooPoker
Thanks, Spoo. Curiously, I always get complimented on that SC. Sure, over here 99% of the people see it as something out of the box. Regarding the pants, they're Mabis and I only had them adjusted at the waist and hem. No alterations on the width. I even felt them a lil' wide on the knee area and definitely not tight on the thighs as other pants I own. Maybe its my pose. I concur the cuffs don't look too good, especially with the shoes. I thought they'd pair well. Anyway, these, along with another pair of pants I wore last week (with the same coat) are my first attempt at cuffs, and I'm just new to chunkier shoes, so I'm experimenting and trying different things out.

Looks much better on you, but still may be too long ...
I normally like your combos but the pattern of your tie is too similar to the pattern of the jacket.Originally Posted by TRINI
+1 IST - The B&W Photo look GREAT. You should really try to have a full body shot - I really miss those when you don't post them.

The fit on this is really good (though personally I prefer you in a little more shoulder structure, though I know that's not a widely shared opinion). However the colours don't flatter you IMO; all a bit "muddy" against your complexion. I think you look much better in "cleaner" colours.
Bruuns Bazaar...the collar/shawl is wider than it appears, it's not folded as much as it can be in the pictures.Originally Posted by MrChris
Thanks. It's cool.

That jacket fabric is delicious.

The green is a nice contrast against the grey.

I really like the unusual combination of peak lapels and patch pockets, though I think a fraction more length to the jacket would balance things out nicely.

I think you're right to flag up that this doesn't flatter you in the way some of your other gear does. I also think it's good to have a range of bodyshapes posting in this thread as different looks work well on different physiques.

Lovely suit. Fabric and fit are pretty good and the combo today is good too. I think a slightly wider overlap on the DB would be ideal, but you can't always get everything in RTW (and often, not even in MTM or bespoke!), and it's a good compromise. Cold, cold day. Got a second light dusting of snow overnight... ... plus, last wearing of these old boots. They finally reached the end of useful life and were binned when I got back home when I realised the sole and insole have both completely given way and fixing won't be economical. Luckily I have a new pair of boots on order already! Spoo - I don't know if I'm going out tomorrow, so if not, consider this my entry to this week's outerwear contest, if an early entry is within the rules!

When you are caught between a 40 and a 42 and you are 5 foot 9....sometimes things wind up a tad long. Just how it is. I think this is well within an acceptable range and doesn't stunt my height.

Thanks HF. It had more overlap when I got it....but it had a pull at the buttoning point. Tailor rearranged the buttons. I am not 100% satisfied with the outcome, but I do love the suit.
That coat is killer, just killer.
Oldog, your sense of color and pattern matching is miles above just about everyone else here. I will never be able to do that.
