Gentleman...as I stated in my post the suit has had only ONE fitting and needs to be looked at by Mr Mahon. I also said in my post it "is RAW and just out of the box never worn and certainly never pressed". This is what happens when a photo is lifted reposted and taken out of context.

You never mentioned if you chose that fabric or if your tailor did.

He was sure worried about those socks.  And good thing, too!  They almost ruined what was otherwise a flawless outfit.

He obviously doesn't have many clothes so he put on all his best stuff that he owns. Doesn't matter if the colour scheme doesn't match, he has got a pocketsquare so he is very well dressed, right?

This thread is an eye opener, though I want to close mine. I've learned a Prisoner of War check ( cheque for igents) should avoid bright half assed linings unless  used inside out as signaling panels when lost on the Pennines at nightfall. I must ask my optometrist where I can buy Putin contact lens. My friends, I saw 4 letters; AAAC when I looked into them. The Peter Lorre character in The Maltese Falcon lives on. At least I don't have to smell his EDT- probably Pinaud lilac.
Bookster's hacking jacket is a regional phenomenon kept alive in KENTUCKY where the 'Park Horse' ideal of exaggerated gait and surgically set and ginger agitated ground length tail pieces are paired with a saddle bouncing on the mount's kidneys. The equally exaggerated riding toggs complete the 'presentation.' In western parlance this is a 'shadow rider' or somebody admiring their own cut against the sun instead of attending to business. This is why they have ticket pockets for a fast escape via train or Zeppelin when fired.
In fairness, friend Peter King started out selling vintage tweeds on EBAY after the Mad Cow tragedy took his herd. As a horseman, Peter found a niche market and trotted with it. Peter has slowly added to the patterns. A potential client can in fact 'rent' a jacket to check basic parameters  and if a local tailor of skill is consulted a decent fit on the first try obtainable. Peter is very eager to remedy  problems. If  clients put more thought into fit instead of working cuffs the result is far more worthy than the $35 EBAY Harris monstrosities with the cut and paste history of Harris to impress the iBidder.
Again, a usefull thread to help me avoid tar Baby clothing choices.

You mean, aside from the incongruity of a triple-patch-pocket sport coat garnished with peak lapels?

He's fucked that up by putting patch pockets on it, which is a shame as it's otherwise a nice coat.

Yes + right side of the coat looks messy.

This is dreadful. Pants are too dark. Jacket is cheap looking both fabric and construction. That buttonhole is damaging to the "look". Pockets re poorly designed and badly set in. Dont know why the jacket is longer in the front on one side but I hope that's not permanent. Shirt and pocket square look bad with this. A very thrifted look.

A touch harsh. I don't mind the coat but  the patch pockets are wrong with those lapels IMNSHP

Interesting that you picked up on the button hole. My tailor doesn't put them on SBPL sportscoats either.

Yeah, well thats too bad. ive been pussyfooting wih people for too long about their clothes. The clothes jungle is an eat and be eaten kind of place. Better for this one to take his knocks now and wear something that wont get him a table by the dirty plates.

A man should be able to do a lot of things, including back up his threats.

Did he ever post the rest of of his Rubinacci collection? I've been awaiting that spectacle eagerly.
