Thanks, yours looks great too, especially with the brown grenadine! Those Formosa's look awesome on everyone: you, sotiris, stitchy, etc. Makes me wonder why more tailors don't have a cut like that.


Thank you. They are absolutely great suits. Much credit to Greg for picking wonderful fabrics and options.

my God man, the other way! less square visible against the lapel.

Alright @Pliny , today I am turning my pocket square angle up to 11!

(Tie is way darker in real life)


This pocket is also different than my previous suit (Navy Napoli from SuitSupply), which has a rounded, U-shaped pocket:
Both of these breast pockets are themselves angled up toward the shoulder. I originally thought that you were advising a subtle angle equal to or less than the angle of the pocket itself; however, I see that you are advising a PS angle greater than the pocket's angle. Today's suit has a straight pocket, so this is easier to achieve than with the previous SuitSupply suit. Here is today's suit with the PS angle matching the angle of the pocket itself, which is only possible because this pocket is straight rather than U-shaped:



I agree with you that
(really it's not that big a deal)

but this is StyleForum after all! If we don't nitpick, who will?

That's awesome! Where are your suits from, if you don't mind sharing?


Thank you. As Murlsquirl said, today's suit is a Sartoria Formosa from NMWA. My current rotation includes 2 Formosa, 3 2 Sartoria Partenopea, 3 Napolisumisura and 1 Steed.

I really :inlove: the Formosa's and see more in my eventual future.

And T&T - no, not a BD collar

Thank you for your reply! I just bought my first Neapolitan suit, a Sartoria Partenopea, so I'm wondering how the cut will look on me.

It is a MTM by Kent Wang. Very nice it is.
I love that I wear it so much, even other people can recognize that it's my only one by the pattern.

New job soon possibly. Present to myself would be a new SC.

Murlsquirl looks great indeed.


If everyone did it, it would not be as special. :)
