@Alan - how come you would need help "slimming" when you fit so perfectly in slim fit blazers and shirts without tailoring ;-) !

[Focuspants]

@Alan - I actually like having broad shoulders and a broader chest. I think it looks good in a suit.

Had a company picnic this weekend, and it was warm so I decided to brighten it up a bit. Still keeping it simple though.

Nice, Lance.


Ryan - bravo!

[Lance F.]

@Ryan, geez I thought I was colorful. That coat looks like it fits perfect. Makes me wish there was an H&M somewhere near me.

[tdig]

like that lapel knot flower. i "knotted" my lapel today as well.

[nftmlk]

Looking good Ryan! Did make any alterations to that suit or does it fit like that off the rack?

[ryan]

@Lance - nice laces!

@tdig - would like to see the knotted lapel you put together today

@nftmlk - the suit fit like this off the rack until I lost 10 pounds. I took it to my tailor and he made the alterations to tighten it up in the chest and mid-section. It now fits better than ever!

[tdig]

@ryan got so warm today i left my jacket in the office this morning. ill try to snap a pic tomorrow

[alan]

Trying out the new suit, fresh from the cleaners yesterday.

The tie is slightly darker in person. It's not quite as bright as the pic indicates.

Very nice @Alan!


The suit fits well... I love the tie! The whole thing comes together well.


My one quibble would be not seeing shirt cuff below your coat sleeves. Are they a bit too long?

[alan]

Thanks! As for the cuffs, I can't explain the pic. They poke through about a quarter inch when both my arms are at rest. They could poke through just a tad further, but it's a minor thing.


The inner lining of the cuff on the left arm is loose so I can kill two birds with one stone if I have them brought up a bit more. I can tell that the arms have been previously altered to make them shorter, but that should have no impact on bringing them in further.

@Lace - very nice casual look!


@Ryan - you've been a very nice addition to these forums and that fit shows why!


@Alan - Love the fit and softer colors. I think those tones really complement you


Sporting the Merona Blazer that gets no love here again:

[Lance F.]

@Alan - Nice color suit and choices with everything. Ever think of putting a dimple in your tie? It's a pet peeve of mine that's why I ask.


@Acoustic - Clean look and I like the blazer. It seems to fit well for the price. Think of maybe not matching the tie and pocket square. I think a crisp white square would look better here. Just a little constructive criticism.
