This can't be beat but hope the weather in MD is not as bad as we have it here. 105 yesterday with heat index over 110 and it's going to get worse


Thanks, k.

The past month has been hell, but the past few days have been pretty nice. More importantly tho, sometimes we must suffer for fashionz.

mcobinad: I like your combining and eye for color, but the fit is just wrong. I think it goes beyond the subjective. The circled areas show where there is no ease in the cut of the jacket and pants, so the fabric bunches up. The V over the vest shows the shape it should be. Note how the vest bows away from those ideal lines.

I don't think you can call these matters of taste.

Oddly, despite the fact that I heartily agree with you about the issues, I think you could still call it a matter of taste.

I think in today's pop culture, and if you were to have a look in GQ, I think the ultra tight look is still in favor with many. I don't like it at all though. Ymmv I guess.

Also, @mcobinad , I think it's important to point out based on your previous reactions to similar critiques, when people raise issue with the fit of your suits, they are critiquing the suit and not your physique.
