Thanks so much for all the compliments and thumbs, gents. Bust day at work, so unable to to reply, but I am back in the saddle now!
@EliodA and @SeaJen, no, no personal photographer lol. But I do have a good buddy who is a very talented photographer who does me teh favor of taking pics from time to time.
As far as the jacket sleeves, the SC is MTO Formosa from NMWA (that answers your question @Betelgeuse), there was a snafu when the jacket first arrived which needed alteration. Formosa fixed the issue, but for some reason they finished the sleeves, and I have short arms, so that was the only solution. At first it bugged me, but it has since grown on me. I think its spunky and different.
@Caustic Man, brown trews are perhaps the best trews.
@Anden, thanks, man. I gave you my word did I not?
@ShawnBC, much appreciated. I can find something bad, or suboptimal, but Id rather leave it be.
@ridethecliche, I am a farmer. So, yeah. And thanks!
@DavidLane, much appreciated. The trousers are Epaulet MTO mocha lambswool. Highly recommended.
@GMMcL, thanks you kindly. I find that the trick with brown/beige trousers is the shade. With gray, as long as you are mid gray or lighter, you are pretty much money and the shades are pretty much interchangeable with what is up top. Unless you are wearing something very dark or very light, most shades of gray trousers will work.
With brown/beige though, I think you need to be much more careful with what shade you pick based on the SC and tie. For example, with your SC (which is awesome) I would not hesitate a second to wear brown trou, but not at all the ones I am wearing. They need a darker, cooler, more chocolatey brown. Whereas said color would not work well with the check SC I am wearing, it needed a lighter, warmer, more saturated brown (I have a pair of each and held them up with the SC and it was no contest), and yet, had I gone lighter, to beige, that also would probably have been off.
Tl;rd, something in the brown family will almost always work for trousers but its a lot easier to botch than picking a shade of gray.
Nor I. Ideally a little cuff should show, but I dont mind that much when it doesnt, and also, often the way you hold your arms for a pic tends to hide cuff that would otherwise show.
Plus one. And many other greats fits as well today. Solid showing, fellow forumites!
@Stilig, I keep going back and forth on whether or not I like the coat there. Its definitely a young and slightly louche look. Like from a Belstaff lookbook. I dont think I would do it, but I will go ahead and say I like it on you, despite my knee jerk reaction.
