I vote for lighter jacket/darker trousers - both fits were fine, but the afternoon one was better, IMHO.

Vintage Ralphie - tick weave, ticket pocket - what's not to like? Way excellent, Counselor.

Me, neither, Spoozy - raw silk ties always look a little louche to me - and thanks for the compliment on my fit today.

Love the suit (I have something vaguely similar - yours is nicer), and as for the tie, any lightly lined tie with a relatively wide blade for the narrow end of the tie will knot like that - a double FIH with a Charvet will look very similar (if gaudier than your tie of today, RG).

Thanks man, means a lot coming from you, as you have one of the keenest eyes, or two of them, but you know... The shirt is my new collar from Ercoles...just had about 10 shirts with smaller collars redone with that one.

Its an unlined Panta...long tie + no lining= long skinny knot. This is the three piece's debut, the two piece was ready and worn last week.

If that is a Panta, they are generally 9 feet long, so for someone of Rob's height, he would probably be using a pretty wide part of the tie to make the knot...I know I do with a Panta, or double wrap it.

Thanks Upr_Crust, a wonderful compliment!

I think the tie pushes it over the top, I wanted to wear one of the great heavily textured knit ties I purchased from MBreinin, but they haven't arrived yet, next I was gonna try a Prince of wales checked bow-tie, but the cotton Panta was calling out to me, it almost works but I kinda knew it was pushing it!

Thanks Nii, and also a belated thank you for your compliments on my 'picnic beard' fit, I really appreciate that you can approve of something out side of your personal comfort zone for style!
I readily admit that my take on MC is not for everyone, but it is for me, and I think that inner comfort with my style comes through, it may be the only way I get away with some of my rigs!

They are on the way, my man. You should have them soon.

I think the fit today kills. It is a little out there, but that is your deal....and you rock it.

Apparently night shots are not something my camera is very good at.


Cool photos.

Based on the photos, afternoon by a nose. I suspect that better photography might tip the decision the other way, though. Any way you can add more light/expose longer, doctor?

I've got to hook up with this tailor. If I were FredH, you'd definitely get a song today.

Nice. Appears more butterscotch than tan; is the color accurate?

Very nice setup, but isn't the pants sitting a little low? It may only be the angel though.
