Oh and that will be a blessed day! I have four DB suits that I bought off an SF member that fit me perfectly. I wear them at least once a week.

Yes They Did, Very

Having an ellbow fracture, i was not able to wear something "normal" for some weeks. Yesterday, the splint was removed and things begin to normalize.

Nice Sir...

New to me suit. Still needs to get to the tailor for some minor work. Again everything thrifted or bought second hand.

Very nice. Suit appears to be S&M. The trousers look to fit very well. Lovely watch.

Hard to tell, but the shoulders on the jacket look a little big. That’s hard to fix. Definitely have the sleeves shortened.

Thank you. It is. Id like to maybe shorten the trousers an inch and the sleeve for sure. I am between 40 contemporary and 42 slim. Due to the chest and shoulders. I typically get about 18.5 shoulders and this is 18.7 ish so likely other factors in the pose or the back needing some taking in.

If I have a jacket with a little extra room like that, I try to add a sweater (weather permitting) underneath to tighten up the fit. A cardigan can work nicely with a shirt and tie. Or for a less formal look, you can wear the suit with a turtleneck sweater that has a thicker knit.

Don’t have much other than they are Salvatore Ferragamo. They were my BiL’s and he outgrew them and gave them to me.

This is actually a fresco suit so i was testing my lower limit with it in cool weather. Anything below 40’s i might wear a sweater under it.

Once again walked down to the the place where many journeys begin, the Los Angeles Metro E Line Expo/Bundy station, and will once again walk up the stairs and wait for the train.

Brooks Brothers brown herringbone tweed jacket, cable knot sweater vest, and toe. L L Bean OCBD shirt, Squareextraordinaire pocket square, Orvis corduroy trousers, and Allen-Edmonds wing tip shoes.

A Kir Royale, a little Victoria Sponge, tea, and me in the Tea Room at Ye Olde King's Head in Santa Monica CA.

What inspired the choice to fasten the lower of the two buttons on the jacket?

Maiden voyage of my first dinner suit.

What inspired the choice to fasten the lower of the two buttons on the jacket?

Geeez i didn’t even realize I did that. I was rushing before the kids or other have found me snapping pics. I must have accidentally done that one up instead. Definitely not intentional.
