Thanks. I know that tie knot is wrong, but didn't know it, till i find it out on the laptop. Normally i use the four in the hand or the half windsor. It's actually an older picture, but i'm wearing the jacket atm.

Thanks to those of you who offered me feedback on my original posting. I tried to take it to heart and as a result came up with the following. To be more specific, I tried to go for more contrast, shorter trousers and lighter shoes. I also included the apparently requisite robot pose with some photos of details attached. Again, I will be very appreciative of any constructive criticisms.Originally Posted by Sonny58
Sonny,
Looks good.
I still want to see you try adding some fairly rich shade of blue to make the warm browns pop out.
I'm not sure why your jacket is puckering at the button, as it doesn't look too tight at the waist in general. Does this happen frequently with this jacket or did this pose just happen to catch a brief moment?
Keep up the good work.

Are the sleeves on Fred's jacket the right length (i.e., he needs a shirt with longer sleeves), or should the jacket sleeves be shortened?Originally Posted by kgmessier
I think the jacket sleeves should be shortened just a bit - about 1/2". And his shirt sleeves should be exactly as long as his jacket sleeve is currently.Originally Posted by Gdot
That's my assessment as well.

By the way, is that your own yard in the background? If so, very nice.

Huh? Weedy lapels? IMO, your jacket looks great! I wish my navy (is that navy?) blazer fit that well on me! Loafers, no socks is the way to go; haha!Originally Posted by wannabe
Thanks a lot, man!

To me his constant reference to "Italian" style brings to mind the one and only Spallacamiccia, who always got defensive over his pinstripe jacket / jeans combos and kept repeating how that's the "European" way to dress.

I like the shirt, nice and summery. I like the jacket, too, but separate from the shirt.Originally Posted by JordanH.
OK. I see I need to spend more time picking my shirts. It's funny, I have quite a few shirts but when I look at my line up I see a lot of light colors that don't look much different from each other. That's sort of why I picked this one. Guess being the defacto non-light shirt doesn't make it work.

Another very decent summery smart-casual combo. Something about the fit of that jacket is off, particularly in the lower quarters which seem uneven but this may be a function of it being too big around the waist and hips. Maybe if you have it nipped at the waist it will hang better. not sure about this so anyone better I formed please chip in![/spoiler]
I struggle with all my jackets for similar reasons. My natural waist is really high which may be part of the problem.
Your fit is pretty good, and I like your pants. I think what Iamniceman is referring to is your waist suppression being a little high? I'm not quite sure about this though.[/spoiler]Originally Posted by wannabe
I'm beginning to wonder if my high natural waist is responsible for the suppression being so high.

I'm going to have to work on the rich blue shirt. I don't know if I have anything right now. As for the pucker, this jacket has a tendency to do that. I attribute it to the very light weight of the fabric but I'm sure there are fit issues that can be addressed. It certainly isn't tight around the waist but it is a little tight across the upper back. I think I will ask my tailor about it.

As I mentioned previously, I'm going to have to work on some new shirt colors I think. It will be a good exercise. And my tailor will need to figure out the jacket issue. It does hang very nicely at times but it seems to get a bit off kilter also. Like I said above, the fabric is extremely light weight so that might also be part of the problem. And yes, the photos were taken in my back yard. Thanks for the compliment.
Thanks again everyone for the feedback.
