Great photos and nice fits as usual Neo. When are you next passing through the UK?

I like pinstripes, but agree that with your frame they may not be the best choice. Suit fit looks okay. I'm not a fan of such casual shoes with a suit, but Manton does it so who am I to criticise... Personally I'd go for either a dark brown or black oxford/bal. Tie is a tad pale - I'd look for something that gave a bit more contrast against the shirt with a dark suit.

And yeah, the pants fit really well. just got them a few days ago on ebay (i was the only bidder)... i was a little worried they would possibly be too small, but they worked out great.
They are a thick, heavy cotton jersey, so they basically feel like wearing sweatpants, and it gave the outfit a really relaxed/comfy feel.


I wouldn't have guessed jersey. Look good anyway.

Does this shirt's collar look way too large to wear casually, or no big deal? I sized up because the sleeves were too short on the medium, now the collar seems to loose on the large..

SVB, get some black shoes, for **** sake. That tie is as wide as your head, and in an awful shade as well.

I think Universal Works describe it as Steel Grey - it's from their AW collection - stock picture: http://www.universalworks.co.uk/coll...t-cotton-twill and is a different fabric and shade to the current Commis jacket (and oddly slightly lighter-weight...).

Cheers. Weightloss is slowing down a bit (can't give up the carbs in those bottles marked drink me/b.e.e.r.) but I've not put any back on.

I wouldn't want it that loose on a dress shirt, but casually it's fine.

Hmmm I'm tempted by a pair of white bucks...
