- I may DTO this
Ill try and get Mrs. Spoo to take pics on a lower angle.. although its hard enough to get her to patiently wait while I check them to make sure I got the pose right anyhow..lol.Originally Posted by SpooPoker
- IMO that is like using a skinny mirror. Just get a waist high level surface & walk 10 paces back.

You should be very careful what you wish for...Originally Posted by upr_crust
You have more shoes than I figured; nice selection indeed.
...yes will keep the slight fullness of the pantsOriginally Posted by Phat Guido
FWIW, I think it really suits you compared to the overly tapered look for a few years ago.

I also PREFER this angle, Spoo.Originally Posted by MBreinin
I really don't. Whether it looks better in a photo or not isn't the issue; the point is that extreme low angle simply cannot be representative of what the outfit looks like to others IRL.

This is true, but you have to add personal preference on top. I'm very lukewarm on them on almost any suit. That's not to say there aren't good-looking suits with patch-pockets; we've seen some on this board over the years. But I just don't really like them with suits. In general I would definitely agree that they look best only on certain fabrics, but just would add an extra additional preference that this should be combined with the garment being an odd jacket where the casual informality of the patch seems natural and comfortable to look at.

Patch pockets don't have a cycle. They look great on certain fabrics and certain types of suits/jackets. They will always be a good choice for these. Just not on everything.Originally Posted by Parker

That looks great, N. I think the black shantung was a nice touch against the earthy olive.Originally Posted by Parker
this is really nice N.Originally Posted by niidawg3
Thanks, fellas. My approach to patch pockets on suits is that I like them if the suit fabric allows the coat to be worn as an odd jacket (linen, blends, textured fabrics). I don't think they work as well with "slicker" suiting fabrics.
is this some sophisticated linen, which denies to wrinkle?Originally Posted by fritzl
Just very heavy.

^Thanks. Seems fair since I have DTOd many of your looks

To each his own. It is an olive-y/military green. It has a nice sheen in the sunlight, but I can understand if the color is not for all.

the shoes?Originally Posted by fritzl
spoo, is there a particular reason why you are starting your cuffed life with ones that are too big?
What do you mean? 2" cuffs? Im almost 6'2... Anything less would be puny on me.

So far, you are rightOriginally Posted by SpooPoker
They're at a point where I am going to have to resole them soon - I've walked almost all the way through them. Would prefer to replace with a proper pair o' specs, but that's not in the cards for now.
