That's a great Amies pic! Wonderful shoulder extension giving proper balance to the hips, allowing for aggressive tapering at the waist.

Elio, I think that's a good starting point, but there are other factors. Shape and length of ass, for example, may prohibit looking good where that ratio holds true.

True, that's why I provided that link to PG's blog post, which kinda hammers home the main requirement: jacket MUST cover ass.

That Amies pic does indeed show how the right amount of shoulder extension allows for a flattering, masculine silhouette. Many times here on SF you see people too focussed on close fitting shoulders, to the detriment of their overall silhouette, IMO.

Very sorry I didn't spoiler this. I forgot how. Can't stop looking at this suit! I've always been leery of DBs but this has me very much wanting one.

Edit: Sorry again. The real reason I quoted it was because I was hoping Crat would let us know the maker.

Crats pic is perfect. Don't mind looking it at over again. His knot needs work though.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

That's a great knot. Nice dimple that's just a little cocked to the side. It says I care, but I don't try too hard.


I think the knot is dwarfed by the lapels. It looks disproportionate. Otherwise it would be fine.

Looks like suitsupply from the way the lapels are cut.

Crappy light today (or I should say almost non-existent - horrible, horrible weather outside), so this was only pic that didn't end up either grossly under-exposed or blurry.....

XP from the FC.







It's Friday, so I must be in Shanghai. What time is it? I can't tell by looking at the window. My fake Rolex has stopped - maybe I never got it started - and all I remember from last night is the martinis, that girl's thighs, and the sound of fireworks exploding. But they weren't exploding for me.

I can taste the hangover like miner's gloves on the back of my palate, and as I rifle through those dim recollections of all my yesterdays for a clue...maybe a reason...

...it slowly dawns on me that there are never any clues or reasons.

Still, I have a job to do. And it requires a working firearm.

[Second instalment to come soon.]
