Looks like an early 70s take on the 30s.

what I expect from Ford is
Colors - rich shades like purple (plum), green (forest), mustard or even just interesting shades of basics like black, white, navy, gray
Patterns - either bold checks, houndstooths, etc often playing with the size/scale
Textures - soft and fuzzy or plush. things you just want to stroke or squeeze.
Shape - Generally hard angles with padding and structure to emphasize like suits with hard V angles, outerwear with long sharp lines and strong cuts.
just a general 'overdone'-ness on every shape, angle, texture, and color but in a way that combines obnoxiousness with class. Meaning 'I'm so ******* rich I can wear whatever I want'.
etc.

I like that he is bringing the SS '11 color blocking trend into the Fall but I generally think this collection leaves alot to be desired. Maybe he spent too much time working on the womenswear (which is amazing) this season. I am not a fan of the wider leg pants or the fact that many of his overcoats look like they are made for pimps. I also think the pique lapel is getting too big.
I own one Tom Ford suit and I wear it occasionally to social, semi-formal evening events but I think he has designed himself out of my taste range at this point and it is unlikely that I will find something I want to purchase from him in the future.
Also, how does everyone feel about the motorcycle tabs on lapels? I saw it on a few Zegna blazers recently too. Too trendy?

The cuts seem a lot more full, particularly in the trousers, than his previous collections. The overcoats all seem at least a size too large as wellOriginally Posted by Aaron01

I like the use of white and caramel and have always liked cable knits. I think that trouser shape is bang on the very tapered look will be gone in a year. Wider shoulders is interesting looks quite Tommy Nutter, I think the coats should have been an inch longer.

Colors, patterns and textures are really nice.
Cut of the pants
Overcoats ok, but a tad too large and a bit too p.i.m.p.
What is going on with the white socks, Michael Jackson revival?
I also wouldn't wear french cuff shirts with knit sweaters.

Ok. So I own a Tom Ford suit, as well as a few other pieces... and generally I admit I am a TF fanboy, to where it is almost pathetic. However... I am not a fan of this collection. I get a bit of a burberry feel from some of it, and I find it sort of, well, lackluster. First thing that came to mind from this was: http://api.ning.com/files/hiLZfGggQj...JasonOrtiz.png New TF Private Blend release: Sex Panther.
