The heat is bearable today

kulata - very nice example of pattern matching. Your fits are consistently good! You must've mentioned it elsewhere, but, are your sport coats MTM, bespoke or OTR? I can't help but notice they fit wonderfully and you seems to have a muscular build - something not easily complimented by the OTR garments these days.

Couple of recent fits:​

Thumbed for the beard and matching your son's tie with yours!

Suit: Formosa

Unintentional Collar Sprezz - Priceless.

Very nice, understated fit - love the shoe color. I also couldn't comment and not pay a compliment to your wife/girlfriend. Stunning!

Thank you! This was her first outing with her new Louboutins, meaning I had to hear all day about how the soles of her shoes were being ruined

Just a guess between climate and - when I was in Lilburn - my memory of ATL is vast trees everywhere!


Yikes that is scarily close.

Thanks Shawn. 100% of my jackets are RTW, I only go custom with suits but it's really hard to get a good fit though. I do a lot of package returns, UPS will be tired of me.

No, I didn't. However, I once walked past a restaurant in Westwood (on my way back home from UCLA Medical Center) where he apparently has his own table.......
You have a good sense of humor, I like it. I wish I could see more smiles in your pix. So that seat is reserved for me?

I don't care what you are wearing (fresco?) since all I can see is a beautyful women next to you and you're just in the way. What's up with SF members and their hot spouses or girlfriends?!

@venividivicibj great, understated look. Though totally eclipsed by your better half.
As has been said, your sleeves should be shorter.

It also seems a hair big, but that could just be the sleeves affecting my overall perception (as looking at it, I see no overt signs of it being too large).

Also nice is the break on the pants. You could probably raise the hem slightly, but in general, I think break looks better than no break in real life (though not in pictures). Especially when you introduce movement. I've noticed this with my own pants (I have some with full, some with half/quarter, some with none).

Veni, those sleeves are way too long. It's a bit of shame to wear a $2000 suit with sleeves like that. Go to a tailor! The rest is nice though.


Yeah... Sleeves are about a half inch too long.

@venividivici

What luxire collar is that?

Agreed : (

I like the full break, but still might shorten the pants by a bit. The jacket fits the in the shoulder and chest, I think it's the longer sleeve, and the full break

I think this is what ppl mean by the 'squarish' Formosa shoulder.  Looks great on u, but not suitable for my ski slopes. 


I think it looks great on his shoulders and very rarely have I seen it not look good. There are some where I see the jackets shoulders extend past the wearer but after a few wears the shoulder softens allowing it to lay better.

I revised my view a little the last time this was discussed just a few weeks ago. I haven't always seen Formosa shoulders look good, but not going to name names.

What a great way to make friends! Just be a total dick to people you don't know and judge them without every trying to understand them! You are a winner!
