New suit from Chan. These pants are definitely too full and will be slimmed. Also, not sure if a bit too much drape in the chest. Minnis 520, blue hairline shirt, and Drakes shantung silk tie.

^ Not so much width of where lapels and collar sit in regards to shoulder length, but more so on the belly of the lapels themselves.

With DB there is a chance for curves, all over the place. With curves, I prefer them voluptuous.

Think Tom Ford or Edward Sexton, although not as swashbuckling as they.

I have wider but I'm not partial to belly (well, I don't mind mine):

Mr. Pink, it's not so much a question of slimming the pants or not, but of giving them shape. Right now they seem to fall straight down (and come in a bit at the cuff). There should be some gradual decrease from the thigh to the shoe. Just think of the shape of your leg. The pants have a nice shape from the back. Maybe it's more an issue of ironwork than it is about how they are cut. Then again, I'm not a tailor so I have no idea what I am talking about.

Yep... Pants like that just look too big, they have no shape at all just | | ... Getting them tapered a bit doesn't move them into "skintight skinny" automatically, just give them a bit of character. There is such a thing as too much drape.

The jacket looks really great though. Giving the pants some shape will take it to the next level!

Do people thinking doing the 'PG Photo pose" makes them look like PG?
