Nii - Love that suit man. And have to admit to diggin your mix of soft-core car Appreciation in your shoots....today's is just slummin'!

Butler - that's loungin' done right!

Gregaz - For some reason, the heavy tie doesn't seem to work with the fabric of the suit....however, I love the color interplay and the items seperately.

Navi - It could be the angle but ,that jacket looks too long on you and really shortens your legs (hell, it could also be...your legs). I think the 3-button makes the effect even more drastic.

Yeah the jacket is a little bit long, but its mmostly the angle making my legs look short. Jacket needs work but I enjoy this shirt and tie combo a lot.

I tried going without the collar stays today, and now that I see the picture, I conclude that was not the right call.

Love Fair isle!

This morning I thought it was spring...

Smokin' with the Mirror People

Who are these "cool kids on the other side of the playground." Don't tell me you've been posting in SW&D...if so, I will have to go over there and kick their *sses.

Yes - I'm enjoying SW&D - they're pretty open minded on style and give good honest feedback.

2" off the waist through so far, aiming for another inch. It's not been quite as tough as I feared, although the last inch is much tougher than the first one

The only problem is my suit trousers have largely gone from over-snug to over loose. Trying to decide whether to see if adding brace buttons would be an option or whether to get the waistband taken in.

Welcome back. 3 piece looks great but... trouser length off a bit?
Thanks - slipped down a bit (no gut to hold them in place, and I don't like belts under vests) - need braces or something...

Many thanks, fellows. I can't lie, however - semi retirement does agree with me. From shouting at the kids to get off my lawn, to the wife making me sleep in the outhouse, it's definitely the life I wanted

Nice tie.

That jacket really does seem tight across the chest; not only are the lapels bowing out, but that's also causing the jacket below the button to pivot inwards by way of compensation for the forced movement above, causing the fronts to overlap. At least, that's the visual impression being created.



Great to have you back.



A beautiful - if still cold - sunny Monday. Cold enough to justify buttoning up a 3pc before going out for those who are displeased by the configuration below.

[/SPOILER]On a visit to the dry-cleaners to drop off a couple of suits, I was advised by a likeable (and clearly knowledgeable from the brief conversation we had) fellow who was dropping off what seemed to be Liberty tie, that I should have brightened up the look with a stronger choice of tie. Sadly, I didn't have time to discuss it further, as I was en route to an appointment. Thoughts?
Bolder tie for me. Nice suit (although my preference is unbuttoned 3pcs)

My first post here in WAYWRN, and also just slowly discovering my interest in men's fashion, so please be tolerant if I'm making any amount of elementary faux-pas here. At the same time, please don't hold back with constructive criticism, I'm trying to learn here.

Apologies for the weird camera noise going on in the second picture, my camera is crap, but I included the picture anyway to get a better view of the hat.

Spots don't work against the gingham.

Not a fan of the loafers or lapel decoration, but the rest is good.

OK fellas, which tie? Not a great picture, its a royal blue gingham shirt - should I tone it down with the dark navy grenadine or spice it up with the elctric blue grenadine? Assume either my navy suit or silver gray microcheck suit. Cheers.

[/SPOILER]
The grey, but preferably red or navy

Relaxed lounging:

Cordings RTW cords
T & A Gingham bespoke shirt
I like the colour of those cords - would look great with a navy jacket.

You exude all kinds of cool, Pre. I really like this fit.

Sorry, Doogie; not possible. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, let me recommend that you have someone take your shots for you or that you get a tripod and a camera with a timer. It's nearly impossible to accurately assess fit from phone pics.

Yes, I regret the socks a little.
