You need a bigger shirt colloar, gnatty.Originally Posted by Manton
Agreed. The thinking was that the lapels were rather narrow, and the tie, fairly slender also, but I think you are right, looks crowded up there.

Shoulders look more structured than you usually wear, or at least the seams aren't as flat. Mind commenting on who made the coat?Originally Posted by ctp120
William Field. Almost 20 years old. I love the cloth but not the cut; not blaming him, just that my tastes changed.

Know exactly how you feel. I posted a pic of a rope shouldered, ticket-pocketed number last week that fits that same bill. Not nearly as old as your coat though. Yours looks remarkably current given its age--like classic, moderately proportioned clothing should.

WADR Manton, the scale of your shirt collar together with the suit's lapels/collars and tie is a little off - with the shirt's collar being slightly large.
Perhaps a case of bespoke and RTW mishmash.

No, both bespoke. Much prefer large collars. I think at least half of the collars I see on SF are too small.
