That jacket is amazing! Who's the maker?Bespoke?

 

[bernoulli]

Thanks! Yep, bespoke. Much cheaper than many RTW somewhere else but still bespoke. One of my favorite suits and a gift from my wife, who has much better taste than I do.

That is God's way of saying **** off to Russia. "Oh do Europe need Russian gas to heat their houses during the cold winter?" Naaahh don't think so, Vlad!

Very nice! I especially love the button positioning with the high stance. Also the back with the half belt and the one vent is very distinctive and appealing to me.

 

[DonRaphael]

Navy trousers. Because why not?

Hola!

I know you're maybe 6'7" or so. I think you're outfits usually do a great job at "hiding" your height. Not that you're trying to, but I wouldn't guess you're as tall as you are from your previous pictures.

That being said, I think you look extremely tall in these pictures. I don't know if it's the camera angle, the slimness of the pants, the button stance, the length of the jacket, the way you're standing, but something seems different.

We called it trad.

Not the most elaborate look into today’s travel outfit.. an airport shot on my way to the Amidé Hadelin Barcelona trunk show at Galea Bespoke tomorrow and Saturday.

I think it's a mixture of a couple of different things. The first possibility is my loss of weight.. I am 6"8 and my average weight over the years has hovered around 235-240 lbs, filling out the suit more.. In the last year and a half as I have gotten back into basketball shape and competitive play, I hover around 205-210lbs..that's a 30-35lbs difference give or take which makes me look way lankier than usual..The second possibility is the change to using my phone now versus my camera.. I had a whole setup with my camera and trip pod stand where I could move it and angle it to capture my whole 6"8 stature. I have switched to my phone for a couple of months and its accompanying tripod does not offer a wide range of motion while holding my phone. It makes it hard to get a full-length picture.. so I have to mount the tripod on a high-raised surface and then move back a lot farther to get a suitable full-length picture. That extreme top-down effect can exacerbate the appearance of height. The other way would be to do a bottoms-up approach with my phone and I think that will make it look worse.. I'll figure it out soon enough (the ills of being really tall, lol)

Still warm enough around here to break out the unlined pincord jacket …
