I wear ties so little that that shirt is probably the only one I have that is suitable for ties. I think I need to make 4 more copies of it

FWIW, I'd probably narrow the spread just a touch if you're thinking about getting more made. It's OK as it is, but I reckon a slightly narrower spread would suit you a bit better. Still keep it slightly cutaway compared to, say, mine, but a bit narrowed from where it is at the moment.

Good macro points by Spoo, and if I might add a micro - a white pocket square is a go to fail safe on a dark business suit in charcoal or navy but it gets lost in a very light colored jacket, which might be practical for the heat and have a nice pattern/texture but from a distance blurs into light gray. Have some fun with your PS - it's your chance to make something pop as long as it reflects or complements a colour in your shirt and/or tie.Originally Posted by Ianiceman
Gonna have to dissent with Spoo on this. I like the dark shirt.Originally Posted by pvrhye
I thought so as well but maybe just not with my Italian complexion. Shame, too as it was very comfortable.
[/spoiler] Seersucker is supposed to be bright and cheery, not worn on top of a mostly olive combination. You might want to consider looking into brighter colors, especially with your complexion. These dark colors are not doing you any favors. A crisp white shirt, some light blues, even some light yellows. Something to enhance contrast, not match your skin tone. This fit winds up just looking muddy to me. MikeOriginally Posted by MBreinin
Points noted and adjustments to be made. Thanks, all!

Drop that pochet colour, and go to an tailor to get some jacket that fits your body. This one is just to big.Originally Posted by Lawyer
actually that suit fits pretty well on him. I agree on a contrasting pocket square.

a little less break on the pants and this would be a 10.

Why did you chose patch pockets on the striped suit?
I know it has been a popular thing in Italy lately, but still...
