I know I'm late to the party, but I just had to comment on how much I love holdfast's collection.

Definite sartorial envy here.

The Quality Seller wears Quality too. Awesome.

SoCal - the Etro rocks.

HoldFast - the camera loves that RL. Keep it coming

chorse123 - great idea, great thread.

My three latest:

RLPL 38R from C21 - same as DocHolliday's - and I'm not sure I'll find another I like the fit of so well.



Zegna Traveler from ebay



Bespoke linen blazer - Is the waist a little high?



Forgive the tshirt - it's past bedtime for the six-month old here.

Nice color on the jacket. You should switch ties with iammatt, and the both of you would look perfect

(your ties look like they go good with suits, while iammatt`s look like they go good with casual...in general)

What is a suit tie and what is a casual tie in your opinion?

No need to flash that picture again,
However, I agree with your "desireability factor". It is a fantastic fabric for a summer sports jacket. Absolutely beautiful. Who? What?? Where??

Not my favorite shirt pairing though.

It may not be to everyone's taste but I think that's a killer outfit.

I love Ed's coat - is it Ferragamo? I saw something very similar in Ferragamo this summer.

But my favourite jacket, even though it's not actually a sport coat, is SoCal's DB Lanvin dinner jacket. Awesome.

Mytailor.com. It took a little work, but Joe finally understands how suppressed I like the waist. I also asked for the top button to be higher than he liked. One thing that didn't work out so well was the pockets - they're a little too wide. The jacket's fused too, but in the end, it's a half-lined linen jacket with a good fit for a reasonable price.

The waist looks good. Do you have square shoulders?

Glad to see this thread keeps going.
