That Armoury logo completely kills this for me...

Can't win 'em all.

Cool logo. Gives some visual interest.

Simple and soporific again...

I'm interested in the shoulders on this jacket - there's a line of stitching on the shoulder, which I thought was the necessary and sufficient condition for a spalla camicia, but then it doesn't really look like a spalla camicia...is that just the angle/pose in the photo?

Possibly try jacket and tie combination with light blue shirt as well?

generally i would have, but the function i was attending called for a white shirt.

Duly noted and understood.

I think this may be the same tie as GDL was wearing last week, from Drakes.

Color-wise, this looks good, but the lapels look too wide to me.

According to Patrick (Johnson), this is just a top-stitch done by hand; the suit does not have spalla camicia shoulders but a plain, natural shoulder with minimal padding.

That pocket square looks familiar, ColdEyedPugilist. Drake's tiger?

And by way of our very own Shaya Green (aka Dave Smith).

Interesting...so the seam allowance on the sleevehead is not pressed to the shoulder and stitched by that topstitch? it's just decorative?

Not sure, actually, Pat's website mentions the AMF top-stitch. Not clear if it's merely decorative ot functional.
