Much better with the different shirt collar, but you really need to take some better photographs. The "up the chin" thing is not so flattering or useful in evaluating a fit. At least do the bathroom mirror shot.

Weekend relaxing conservative business dress?
Springtime in Aix en Provence:
Steven Hitchcock DB Minnis 0300 Flannel with my signature gauntlets and brown buttons
T&A pink shirt with self designed Budd's collar
Dior tie
Hober PS
John Lobb of St. James's tassel loafers

Heh, thanks. As I've stated before, the vast majority of my shirts have either an ordinary spread collar or a BD collar. The super absurd cutaways were just a fun experiment.
but you really need to take some better photographs.Originally Posted by Gibonius
100% agreed. Have tried the bathroom shots, but the lighting/layout of our office's bathrooms is horrendous. Duly noted, though - will try to coax the wife into taking pics in the future
That's a nice tie, Manton, but I don't think I like the shirt with it.Originally Posted by Redwoood
+1. Additionally, the shoes look like crap, and the socks match too closely to the shirt, both color- and pattern-wise.

Butler, I hope I look half as good as you when I'm your age

Manton, what is going on with most of your shoes creasing almost all the way down, way past the cap? Do you kneel a lot or do something that causes your feet to bend in unusual manners? If not, the shoe length/lasts/sizing is not working for you.

I think he mentioned somewhere that he is in his early forties.Originally Posted by Redwoood

Really? First off, he looks amazing. Very dignified, excellent cuts, I even like the higher cuff than usual on the trousers. The Dior tie gives the whole ensemble a nice dynamic.
That said, he looks a sharp early 50s not 40s. It's probably the hair though. Physique could be any age.
