Some things are beyond foofing.

In other words, that collar is planted. I could windmill the arms and the collar wouldn't move.

Is that you looking like Cat Stevens on the picture below?

I didn't bother changing the colors or patterns of anything; I just tweaked the jacket and shirt.

I think your foofed version are often excellent suggestions. Not sure this one improves much. While I might prefer your new shoulders, they seem to accent the uneveness/asymmetry of build.

Picking nits.

Thanks Foo. I don't know if I like that much of a soft shoulder, but I do like the lapel roll and lower button stance. Cleaned up pants are nice but they'll never lay like that in real life.

Mafoo,can you please foof my shoulders here?I posted on WAYWN thread that I am contemplating shoulder surgery (softer shoulders).I'd like your input,realizing that foofing is not always possible in real life.I'd like to see how these will look with soft shoulders:

^^^ Forex, those already look really good to me, as the shoulder line already has a nice, natural curve. However, your blue jacket is pulling open funny. Look at the quarters beneath the buttoning point as compared to on your grey suit.

That's because it is Regular length jacket,I also think it is little short for me,all my subsuquent suits and jackets are Long and don't open like that. Here are two more,I'll post more pictures when I take them. By the way,these are all the same maker so they fit pretty consistent all the time. I still would prefer the shoulders to be different but I think that it is not possible to alter these.

I would have liked to widened the lapels, too, but it would have been a pain.

IMO, the original shoulders look better. The shaping of the quarters is better. The roll, well, it is what it is in the original. The position of the buttons is just Foo's weird obsession.

Here is what I see as the issue, illustrated in red. The lines of the overcheck should not be curved--but more or less straight and perpendicular to each other. I've highlighted the curvature in red. That they are curved, plus the overlap of the quarters below the buttoning point, suggests the jacket fronts need to be let down some. Doing so would straighten out the lines, open the quarters properly, and lower the buttoning point a tad (I lowered it even more in my edit). Using red arrows, I've indicated where the cloth should go. Interestingly, the quarters naturally opened up to where they are in the edited version just buy rotating the fronts to straighten out the lines. This suggests to me that the jacket was intended to have more open quarters to begin with. Anyway, I think this is what is called a short front balance problem.

I don't think I've been Foofed yet-- would you mind doing one or more of my pictures? Would be interested in what you do to this one, since I'm still trying to figure out how to wear this pattern/ color in a suit. also looking for Foof-approved shirt and tie combos you might suggest for this [hasn't been altered yet, I need a quarter inch shorter on the sleeves and maybe some neck alterations]

thank you!

 

[TheFoo]

Foxx, I actually think that fits pretty well--as far as I can tell from the angle. It's RTW, right? The only real problems I see are as follows: (1) the collar appears too loose, and (2) the lapels gape open, suggesting to me the jacket is too tight in the chest. I've highlighted the resulting gap in red.

As a personal matter, I'd prefer to see the lapels a tad wider. I've highlighted in green how much wider I think they could stand to be.

Sorry, I didn't do a full foof. That glen plaid is a pain to work with in Photoshop and I figured this method would be just as effectively illustrative.
