Re: When bespoke wishes and fabric dreams go wrong

The guy in the checked jacket has a jacket that's a decent fit and some nice shoes (not necessarily with the jacket). Everything else is wrong and the pocket handkerchief screams 'trying too hard'. The trousers are not good, the shirt is so unimaginative as to surpass belief and the tie is simple nasty.

The guy in the Deboise suit has chose the usual massive turn-ups, trousers just about long enough if you don't move, crap tie that rich Americans always seem to end up with when they buy British. I think the jacket is fine, providing you don't want anything of real individuality. It fits him well, but it doesn't do anything for him. Part of it is because he can't relax when he's having his photo taken but part of it is a dreadful self-consciousness (just look at that list of label-heavy accessories - who on earth identifies a wedding ring as a Sir Winston Churchills Flem spoon. something platinum band? Isn't being married the important bit?) which seems to prevent him being more than the sum of his assemblage. With that attitude he'll always look like someone who has either raided - or in his case paid for - a dressing-up box.

Some might be able to pull off yellow, but definately not that guy.

Pocketsquares are definately part of the igent uniform, doesn't matter if they don't work.

Re: When bespoke wishes and fabric dreams go wrong

Not a good advertisement for Mahon (unless the goal of that suit jacket was to graft the top half of a drape suit jacket with the lower half of an Italian jacket).

Fabric is Dormeuil and if you read the post you would have noticed that the suit was just out of
the box, not pressed,etc etc etc....silly rabbit.

It was mentioned and yes this particular fabric has a shading chemical which makes it change with exposure to the sun.

Re: When bespoke wishes and fabric dreams go wrong

I have a darker grey but thought that god had invented other colors for a reason. Then he spoke to me and said
"Dormeuil has a light grey use it well my son" and I made it so.
