As always, crappy pictures. As always, only the close-up is true to colors and textures.Originally Posted by gdl203
As always, I like your outfit. As always, I think your PS would benefit from being a little more rumpled. I'm obviously nitpicking, but a fold like this looks more interesting to me:

+ 1 I know G just stuffs it in (TWSS) but the end result actually looks more studied than random.

I hate those flowery puffs with a vengeance. I actually hate "folds", period. I always take the square from the middle (like a puff), fold it in two and stuff it in. Done.

I don't care for the flowery puff (poof?) either. I didn't think my example was too flowery. It's sort of in between flowery and what you do. But I understand your approach, and it seems to work well for you.

^Looks good, Mike. Just a suggestion, but as I look at your SC today (and after browsing through the series of photos you posted to illustrate how gunboats look with slim trousers yesterday), I can't help but think the your straight 3 roll 2s and 2 button coats flatter your shoulders and proportions better than your coats with a significant roll (as in today's example). I probably have the opposite issue.Originally Posted by ndw
Thanks, Nick.
I have never really considered that. However, there is a singnificant distortion of proportions here due to the angle of the photo. If I were able to get a more straight shot (like you do), I think the pic would be more representative of how the fit looks IRL.

Good stuff on this page.Originally Posted by Manton
True, true.
By the way, are you aware that the BBC are using you as their advocate-general for the Morning Suit?

The "article", such as it is, has a rather muddled premise, which forces everyone's quotes into rather random categories, but I chuckled to see you cited for an article titled "Tailcoats: An Elegy", which sounds amusingly obscure.
