Dont know how i missed this PA. Good thing Louche requoted it. When i saw it i thought you had me on ignore ... lol.

This is very awesome. The blue shirt complements the green/blue tie very well. And the suit is a nice shade of gray too. Doesnt look like anything like your H&M stuff. Who makes the suit?

Not bad C. I'd tuck the laces into the sides of the shoes (at least thats what i do typically to make it look cleaner, especially if the laces are a contrasting color from the shoes). I think the sizing of the jeans are fine ... not too big and not too skinny.

Now roll thru the streets of Babylon with swagger ... lol.

Hmm - i dont know your tailors so i probably shouldnt question them ... but a collar gap is not that hard to fix.
I guess I'll go back and try again. I have nothing to lose by my gaps.

I have this issue a lot with RTW and MTM as well. I have knocked-knees and no ass so I get horseshoe shaped ripples in the back of my thighs.

I love the way the blue pounces out from the camel jacket.

Take it as a compliment, Mike. Bad fits get very general comments like "That ain't working." Great fits get very specific comments like...well, like the ones you get.

Pretty in Pink

Oh, I am not offended in any way, TB. I rather enjoy the examination of the minute aspects of fits. Like I said before, I can only get that kind of stuff here. In the real world people see a brown suit and shiny shoes. I was just making a joke, anyway.

LOL Naw dawg never have you on the ignore I just happen to post a lot right before or after someone's stunning ensambe

Cheers! I again waffled between this tie and my blue pin dot Dior tie. In the end I went with this one because I liked the cool splash of colour and well it's new

As for the suit?





It's H&M But it's their higher end 100% Venalba 120s made in Italy (the fabric that is). I got it about 4 years ago. It has a small tear in the left elbow which I have yet to get repaired so I took it out of rotation for a while with the plan to get it mended, which I plan to do in the coming weeks.

Nice. When I go to the "riviera" of some war-torn third world country I will make sure to post pictures.

...

Well, sometimes i do...it really depends on the fabric. The thicker it gets, the more unlikely i put lining into it. The ones that i have made are from heavier cloth, so don´t need no lining.
To prevent the bow ends from falling inwards, i always use some extra-fabric left of where the two halfs are stitched together...if you then turn the bow inside up, this leftover kind of "fills" the inside of the bow....know what i am meaning?

Damn Spoo, this is a God-Zilla look. Which makes me look even more embarassing...

^ I really like that tie spoozy! Is that the narrow blade peaking out from behind or is just a crease?

happy new year to everyone!

I haven´t been posting for quite the time (a year i guess). had to learn and do a lot: i passed my state examination with quite a very good mark, so now i can call myself a physician officially! this is what i wore during my oral examination ("practical" bed side testing the first day, then theoretical examination on the second day). yes i changed the shirt, it was wet after day 1

please excuse the crappy pics, we were in a hurry. the bar has been raised in this thread don´t know if i can compete (as if i had in the past! );
some regulars are gone (phat guido?vox?barims?etc.), others are new... anything happened last year?





yes, it looks rumpled, it was AFTER day 2
yes, suspenders. a good choice, because i had to move a lot during day 1, it was quite comfortable.

greetings,

t

shoes: c&j connaught
trousers: golden goose loro piana (thrifted)
jacket: bespoke ... (thrifted!)
shirt: zara or something similiar on both days

Cheers, Pandarts...that´s a narrow blade, the tie is rather skinny (which will get the boys started )

Photos getting better. The full shot is still a bit noisy, but this may be the best I can do with my poor little camera and my poor little photography skills.

Bingey, nice outfit ... great pattern matching on the jacket. Bespoke?

I like the chinos (except for their length). I hope you are wearing boots.

Nice photo O ... the perspective is good. Nice colors on the outfit as well (the contrast collar looks great) ... and to add to your last comment, I like your slightly narrow TNSIL look -- it suits you.

Ah See!? Now I knew there was a reason why I liked it!
