^I like the combo, but lose the Windsor knot!

I am in the early stages of teaching myself how to make clothing. SF was a big part of driving me to do so. Here is my first effort - a pair of pants.

See how I made them here or here.

Thanks. Which one do you suggest?

Experiment with that the next time you're trying on jackets. I also think you'd benefit from a more modern haircut, especially one that reveals more of your forehead.

It's quite often a toss up. In general, DFW is hotter, often to the point that it's unhealthy to venture outside for long periods of time. 102 in the shade is not an uncommon occurrence. It is however drier so that you can breathe without growing moss in your lungs. Southern Louisiana on the other hand (Rather than just saying NOLA since I've been there during the summer, but lived in Lafayette) can get pretty hot, but the humidity and proximity to the ocean means that at about... 3pm everyday you get a half hour shower which cools things off a bit. Along with this though, you'll also have spent all of the rest of the day, before and after the shower at 100% humidity so that it's not possible to walk outside without immediately looking like you've just run a triathlon. Given that, I think Mike deserves extra props for suiting up.

Have a good one!

You know I love that jacket, and the shirt/tie combo go very well with it. The shoes are not my bag.

Welcome to hell's kitchen. I agree with others that you need bigger lapels, possibly a wider tie, and a lower buttoning point. I've noticed that sometimes the bigger dudes try to wear stuff meant for scrawny guys in an attempt to offset their size. In my opinion, they should probably do the exact opposite to keep the proportions right. Keep posting, you're already better than I was when I started.

Thanks - my first Etsy experience.

Thanks. But sheep don't paint.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I faired a lot better than I thought for my first try. I will look for jackets with wider lapels as suggested. This jacket was one I had thrifted and had no alterations done. Now that I know more about what I am looking for I can start buying some quality stuff.

Thanks again.

Thanks!

Though, I'm not entirely sure what you mean

^ In fairness, they are quite wooly.

atlanta, where it is too hot for interesting jackets like yours.
