You don't see much bespoke on the forums that looks as good as that.

Yep, but you don't see the back here...

Stylish farmer suit, but oh that clashing lining. Colour blind perhaps?

Beats walking around the bush bare foot, all strung out on Wigemore, though don't it?

The vile one returns. l saw the little stunt you pulled over at the other place. What a creep.

l can't believe that some guy actually holds onto peoples pictures for years and years and then suddenly posts it on an online forum 4 years later. The guys feathers get ruffled and he throws a tantrum. Pathetic.

l've busted you afew times on your sneaky antics (you reckon you're smart, but you've made afew crucial mistakes). You call me "mate" to my face [when you want something] and then shit all over me. Manton had you worked out all along.

lf you knew the stunts a certain field rat has pulled you probably wouldn't wanna talk to it either.

Did one of your buddies P.M you at the trad forum creep boy? l knew my would bring you out of the woodwork.

Anyway, i've said my piece to you fella.

Pictures?  I have no idea what your on about.  But I've never called you "mate".  That you can be sure of.  Ye gods, you're back on the pipe, right?

The pents are a good inch too big in the waist and are going back.  I think the button stance is maybe a hair too high and the crossover too wide.  I love the SB they did for me and think I will stick with that in the future.

There is something tricky about this picture which I may or may not reveal in the future.

There is no effort here to address the figure of the person wearing the clothing. The guy with the single breasted has a left shoulder fit which is simply wrong. I suppose the wide lapels and the short fit are matters of taste, but the collar is a screw up.

Manton is tall and thin. Why he chooses a shape that narrows his shoulders and makes them bottle necked is beyond me. The waist is baggy and the alignment at the bottom of the jacket looks off. I also don't think the trouser fault is that they are too wide. I wonder, given the bagging on the inside of the leg, whether the seam is straight and centred. It looks like there's a pleat where there shouldn't be one.

I hesitate to contribute this unfortunate Bookster made-to-measure since it's not really bespoke and the guy who ordered it seems pleasant and not too smug-iGenty, but the fit is, shall we say, not super. Someone should probably also explain to the iGent community that Bookster is giving them equestrian hacking coats.

It is a typical equestrian fit - you need a bit of room to control that there hos. I find that it looks inelegant in other settings, but that is a matter of taste.

I agree completely - the OP bought his to wear around a library and it's going to look weird. I find it sort of darling that many igents imagine that Bookster is a generic English country cut rather than horsey sportswear. I can't wait for them to glom onto another nice internet niche retailer - maybe MTM ice skating outfits? Semi-bespoke Highland Games uniforms?

Those buttons are set weird. What an ugly suit. Someone said he was skinny but he looks out of shape like a flabby pear.

A tailor told me very wide hips and bandy legs produces that trouser result.

Terrible, terrible fitting suits. Some of these tailors have no shame, or perhaps they're deliberately sending the iGents out badly fitted as some sort of revenge?

Neapolitan tailors overly hassled by OCD customers have been known to take sartorial-related vengeance in liew of a broken kneecap.

We might need the S.W.A.T team for this offense.

What did someone say before about his stance? He looks like he put his face behind a cardboard cut out.

You mean the sissy stance? aka the overactive bladder pose? He probably got treated for that, or wears diapers, hence the more normal stance.

In any case, Photoshop is indeed a powerful software tool.
