I love you this big, guys.
Love the shoes, and the stripes! Tell us about the stripes...do they have a specific name....call me uneducated, but eager to learn. Who is the suit maker?

Catching up on this thread:
Two very strong fits from you, though the scruffy turn-ups spoil the second one for me. If the bottom looked as smart as the top, this would be killer.
Like this as it is. With a knit tie, I'd love it.
Nice but the top half is, dare I say it, a little monochromatic. I know that's rich coming from me, but a more contrasting tie would have gone well here.
Is there a grey suit/lighter blue shirt/darker blue tie combo that doesn't look good? If there is, I haven't seen it.
+1. Looks a bit extreme in that pic.

I think you'll look better with lesser waist suppression, gshen.Originally Posted by srivats

It's a pretty obscure make, you've probably never heard of them...Originally Posted by mrjames
They're handmade in Germany by a company called reiz- this model is called 'Krocus' (if I remember correctly)
Yup, never heard of them. Very nice at any rate.

Diggin the pants, HF.Originally Posted by Neofinitia
Thanks; your multi-coloured flat cap is so much fun and your style works with it. Sadly, flat caps make me look daft. I think for my style, I need to be a bit older before I can work the flat cap.
You seem to have two fits - drapey HF and slim HF. This appears to be the latter, and personally I like it better on you.Originally Posted by gregaz
This is pretty accurate, in terms of having two different silhouettes. Perhaps counter-intuitively, my slimmer stuff tends to be summery, and the more relaxed stuff tends to be wintery. Not a hard and fast rule, but I've noticed I naturally tend to pick items that way. Maybe one day, the seasons will harmonise?
Those trousers of yours make the fit - good choice!Originally Posted by upr_crust
this is very nice HF. I like the choice in pants. Picks off the check really well.Originally Posted by niidawg3
Thanks, both! That was indeed the thought behind the pairing.
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.Originally Posted by inlandisland
Interesting project you've given yourself. Good luck with it!
May do a full week of WAYWRN soon for ***** and giggles.Originally Posted by JohnsNotHere
Do it; it's nice to have a good variety of looks.
Thought I'd stick this one over the fence and see the reactions.Originally Posted by aeglus
Objectively, I really appreciate it. The textures are interesting, the colours co-ordinate well, and the pieces mesh well to create a somewhat urban vibe. On that level, I really like it. Would never want to wear it personally, but that's a totally separate matter.

The suit stripes appear garish, even from a distance, and the natural "rumpledness" of that unlined tie appears to be fighting the sharpness of the suit.

I'm becoming increasingly allergic to the stylistic details of patch pockets on suits, as opposed to their use on odd jackets, though. Very anti-SF of me, I know...

Wonderfully summery.
If that's the case, I don't know which ones us needs a health check more!
Actually, I did think about using a burgundy tie with a similar small pattern to the one I wore, but it didn't look right; fought the jacket's pattern a bit too much. Perhaps if I had a burgundy grenadine or tussah or something like that.
Damn, I think I'm the one who needs the check-up... I'd prefer this with a white square instead of the ?teal one you're wearing.

Wish I'd taken pics yesterday, as it was the first linen suit day of the year... but no time. Instead you'll have to make do with today's standard fitOriginally Posted by 0b5cur1ty

PG, that looks very, very good, even for you.
It puzzles me a little that mtm looks better than bespoke on you but I guess that says more about my idealistic idea of bespoke than anything else.
Especially the shirt collar is the best I've seen on you so far and the ones before never looked bad.
The one thing that could still be improved imho is the shape/size of the lapels. Wider maybe? But really, this is about as good as it gets.

That was my second choice, of course. One of my knits...I tried a copper colored one. It worked, but I preferred yellow. I don't have yellow knit.

It is 100% black, HF. I already wore the blue polka dot this week.
