Spoo - peep the next-level pattern matching where the jacket hem meets the pants.

Mind blown.

I recall it being discussed here before, plus the last buttonhole, plus the FU cloth, plus the general look. I might be wrong but I dont think I am ...

All good indications, but he is, AFAIK, the only one who did the last buttonhhole larger than the others. Def TF

Great suit, very "industry look" IMO. Spoo I am surprised you don't think he is too matchy matchy based upon your recent statements. He is very well coordinated for a strong plaid pattern. It makes so much more impact that to try and use too many more elements and colors.

What statements do you mean? I think this is perfect as it is. You dont want to screw around with too much other stuff with a plaid that big.

Im salivating over this thing. Damn, I wish I never saw this pic.

That suit is what inspired me to buy that DB windowpane suit I just sold.

You *really* like windowpanes don't you? Some of the suits, imo, could be a bit more tailored.. unless you like them with some breathing room.

I'm not a fan of DB suits on small guys.

Thanks G - I get what you are saying, and sure I think that can work. However, ...... I would have really felt matchy matchy.


As it stood, I felt too matchy that day as it was.
