L O L Didn't you say you would post tomorrow 4 days ago? How long do you think you can put this off for? Have all the clothes you bought over the last 2 months been ****? I sincerely hope not considering the amount of hand holding you needed to buy them.

He's just trying to work up his nerve to actually put on those Darltons, to complete his killer fit. And it does take ever so long to get the cloth tape just so on those non-iron shirts.

Congrats on getting the new system almost hammered out. Sounds like the mods here have done a great job shifting the site over and some of the new features sound cool. It sounds like styleforum will be much improved when it rolls out. Soon.

Spoo, did you set up the poll?

Here is outfit #1 of 3.

Suit: Paul Smith Shirt: BB Non-iron Extra Slim Fit (with additional alterations) Tie: Brioni Grenadine (Width 3.25") Shoes: Pebble Grain Cheaney FS029 Wingtip Boots Watch: Vintage Restored Hamilton

Trouser hem too wide for the zero break. Buttoning point a bit high. Shoe colour does not complement suit colour particularly well. Uninspired combination with not a single patterned item.

I hope for your sake that you're saving the better looks for #2 and #3.

 

[BlackShoes]

unexpected, though you appear to have quoted the wrong jacket.

These were the first two things that lept out at me. Looks washed out, and the buttoning point is off enough to notice. Overall, an OK conservative business dress effort, not a nuclear smackdown.

? I echo the comments about a too wide leg opening and high buttoning point. Other than that, seems like a huge improvement from what we've seen before. Edit #1: Oh yeah, a different, more elongated and elegant tie knot would help. Edit #2: The leg opening would be fine if you bought this suit to wear specifically with boots.
