Like the suit, a solid shirt and laced shoes would be better match though.Originally Posted by maomao1980
I agree, the suit looks great.

Suit maker? Solid example of pushing the conservative business dress envelope. Navy suit + black captoes + pindot tie. Bonus points for the spread collar and trimmer fit. I don't think the lack of a belt is a big deal if you have side-tabs.Originally Posted by jrd617
Thanks, suit is Scabal mohair (I love the texture and threads of purple, blue, green, etc all running through it) and made by Savile Row in Seoul.

The last hundred of his post's are like this. Kinda humorous. Especially in a thread devoted to pushing the conservative business dress envelope where visuals are paramount. http://www.styleforum.net/search.php?searchid=10107262Originally Posted by jrd617
Yeah, I do wish he'd quit spamming. At the least post pictures--a list of brands is not helpful.

Guess I'll play here too since I now have a job that requires a suit.Originally Posted by aeglus
(my own critique is that the button stance is a little too high, lapels too slim, leather wrist strap is extraneous, and I'm sure someone is going to take offense at the lack of belt)
Nice fit. Agreed that the button stance is a bit high--wish there wasn't so much shirt peeking out at the bottom, it's distracting. Still, it fits well.

When I'm not sticking my hand in my pocket, no shirt shows since the quarters are fairly closed:

(would be nice if he stopped spamming this thread though since he doesn't really do conservative business dress at all)
The best part is that if you look at his "blog", the guy has a complete inability to buy anything that fits him. Somehow thinks that wearing a bunch of expensive labels in any size and combination under the sun makes him well dress. Oh well, worth a laugh anyways...Originally Posted by aravenel

Ah, it does look much nicer. Button stance still a bit high, but on the whole very nice.

How does a tailor do such a good job at dealing with the extreme slope of PG's shoulders, yet at the same time leave so much mess below the buttoning point. Unless it's a case of pictures not representing reality very well, it looks like the top half of the coat is a perfect fit and the bottom half is a land of ripples. teh quarters drape ?

He took a pic after a day's work and the material picks up creases more easily than other materials (see my pics of how my suit looks before vs the hands in pocket of after a couple days of moving around).

Not sure if this is strictly conservative business dress, but the navy blazer might help.Originally Posted by gnatty8
Nice. Personally I don't find the collar too small.

Looks good - it looks 'contemporary' rather than 'classic' but still conservative business dress IMO

+1 Still high res. photos, and processing always emphasise these things - in real life they wouldn't be nearly as apparant.
