Not fussed about the bottom button being left buttoned. The notion that the bottom button should be left unbuttoned strikes me as the wrong side of pedantic.

Overall, the suit looks like modified RTW and not a bespoke garment.

Material seems like a flannel chalkstripe, which looks fine.

Indeed. I can certainly understand that SF's style ethic is derived from the US/UK/Commonwealth school of thought. Even most of the Asian countries tend to mimic this aesthetic since most of them were erstwhile English colonies.

However, I'm curious to hear from the European members here if their local "rules" conflict with some of these English/American rules. I've heard Manton say that many of them were codified over the course of the 20th century in London, Milan, Naples and New York -- but what about the rest of the countries?

Arguably, I've seen the Swiss dress in a very English/American style, but that could be because a lot of their clients are in the US/UK. But what about the French, Germans, Russians, Dutch etc? Where is their aesthetic derived from, and do they have similar rules?

Yeah, should be a bit more extension there.

That coat deserves a lighter color trouser and a "fun" tie.

Nice combination but the short tie is a little jarring.

+1. I like the color combo and the individual items.
