Contrast buttonholes are absolutely tacky.

They make it easier for me to find where my little Isaia coral thingy goes...

Trousers as they should look.

And how they mostly look nowadays.

There must be a middle ground. Also the guy with the wide pants has some terrible looking shoes.

Yea…his shoes get an F. They are strange.

Agree on the shoes.

One of the things that I've learned is that for tall guys with skinny legs (I'm one), the slim fit trousers just look stupid and don't fit the silhouette I want. I bought a lot of slim fit trousers because everyone was doing it. I'm transitioning them out.

After being on this site, reading other CM content on the web and understanding the shape of my body and the silhouette that looks good on me, wide leg, high-waisted pants are the right fit for me.

Gary Cooper's silhouette is what I like. Some folks might argue that it's a dated look - so be it.

After being on this site, reading other CM content on the web and understanding the shape of my body and the silhouette that looks good on me, wide leg, high-waisted pants look way better.

Hmm…Gary Cooer. eh? Are you not Omar Sharif in your avatar?

Yup. Omar was cooler than cool and I admire him but he was much more evenly proportioned than I am.

To be very clear, I don't look like GC either, but my shape is similar - short torso, long legs. Might as well model oneself on someone who figured it out.

Omar’s best movie - by far - was ‘Top Secret’.

has anybody here tried David Reeves bespoke? I saw that he offers what is essentially beginner bespoke for $4K which skips the basted fitting. Am wondering how the results came out with that option.

RLPL double breast 4x2 BLACK pinestripe, tell me it’s a really bad idea but at this price I almost feel like I should feel ok to just cosplay once a year…

That’s a nice one - and in the famous ‘Drake’ fit. I say go for it!

I don’t know enough details about the physiques of stars to say whose matches mine best. I do know that the only footprints on the Hollywood Walk of Fame which fit mine were Darth Vader’s.

Did you pick it up?

I think db pinstripe suit can be worn casually a la husbands paris with pair of boots and some turtleneck or casual shirt. Obviously this look is not for everyone.
By the way I have this jacket but as blazer and it is one of my favourite.
