No worries. In short, too cut away and collar points are a bit short. I did send them the exact measurements off the pc site.

I've been meaning to give pc a go but the weak AUD and $30 shipping has had me putting it off.

Again, many thanks.

I've found PC good to work with, and their website is top notch, but I'm looking for another blue-on-white stripe dress shirt and they just don't have anything that grabs me. In the past couple of months they seem to be moving more toward casual shirting; here's the entirety of their stock of stripes and, weirdly, a majority are horizontal:

That's a bummer about the AUD (for purchasing, at least; I suspect it's brought you a few new customers from outside Australia, no?). I wish there was a Eurozone company which did custom shirts in this price range: the EUR was down to 1.08 USD last I checked earlier today.

Cheers,

Ac

To be honest, it looks bad, on you as well. The difference between how steed jackets look on you and on Vox is a massive.

I don't know why I say to be honest, because I'm always honest. Nothin but the harsh truth for you guys. Pads would look good on you.

That's it. I am going to Victoria's Secretary to get me some pad!

What about roping the end of a sloped shoulder?

Nothing brave about it, as I know you were talking in jest, as was I. However, I seriously do think a lot of people could use some shoulder pads. They shouldn't be so vilified as they are at the moment.

I'm going to try a roped shoulder on my next suit as well. Probably a navy mohair peak lapel, although I might just go for a notch lapel to make it slightly more versatile.

I'm not sure what the effect would be. Your shoulders would still be sloped, but they will look a bit stronger. I guess it depends on how strongly it's roped. Probably best to try on a suit with a roped shoulder to see if you like it.

I can't stress this enough, you can read all you want, but it won't help you much if you don't see it for yourself. If you live in a reasonably big city, just take an afternoon to try on loads of different cuts and different brands. You'll be able to see how each one looks on you, and what you like/dislike about it. Once you've done that, you should know what looks good on you,

I have suits that are structured (padded) and suits that are considered soft. Which is considered flattering?

Padded/structured

Soft

I recently wrote a post on my blog about proper funeral attire. In it I mentioned that a funeral is one of those occasions where it's totally fine to skip the PS although I myself still wear a white one. What are your thoughts on this subject?

Wore this to a funeral (not a close friend) on Tuesday. White linen is always appropriate for funerals, weddings etc imo

I am quite surprised to see mid grey suits for funerals. I would do all black. Try to be respectful to the deceased and his/her family.

I was unemployed for 3 months after I graduated from college so I worked delivering flowers. There were couple times when I had to deliver to a funeral home or to a church holding the funeral. Usually, the flowers were delivered to a certain area but this one time they told me to put it right in front of the coffin. The coffin was open.

Why is black more respectful?

You misunderstood. I should have wrote it better. I wear black.

But the most important thing is to dress in a way that is respectful to the deceased and his/her family. I am not say black does that. I am saying however I dress that is my goal.
