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.

This guy is still learning his reading and writing fundamentals. Like dogs walking on their hind legs, it's amazing that he manages to post at all.

The fifth fabric looks like something a farmer would wear. Why can't he pick his own shirts, he seems pretty mindless...needs igents to make up his mind for him.

I was wondering why he always discusses people drinking their own pee. It looks like he peed in his own khakis.

Why is the model and maker of his sofa pertinent, anyway?

You are correct, Cruz Diez. His Baker furniture is consistent with his provincial antebellum worldview.  Clearly he didn't get guidance on his furniture from Super Mariano. Ask me about my Poltrona Frau leather furniture, and I don't even patronize London House.

He also looks as though he is about to let one fly. Do those six inch turn-ups suggest that here is another 'short-house' in RTW?

George may not have nailed down some basics on clothes and tailoring exactly right yet but he summed up the thread rather well:

Although on second thought... the fabrics posted aren't nothing to write home about.

George is right, it was all masturbation. Whnay had already decided on the linen fabric so nobody was going to change anything. It was just an attempt to get some discussion on Styleforum as he admits - http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.php? … stcount=59. I have to say that getting people to post three numbers really isn't going to help.

Really? I think you are being all ironical like.

Nice shirt, wrong with the suit. Dull tie. Pocket handkerchief misses by miles. Suit looks cheap and the seam on the arm appears to be puckered in the photo. Shoes are a horrible colour, don't appear to be well cared for (although they are Shell Cordovan and therefore automatically wonderful) and the socks are tragic. Watch undistinguished, cufflinks unpolished and hat seems to be pure affectation given that it is neither sunny, rainy nor cold.

Its interesting the number of iGents who choose to sport utterly uninteresting watches that border on the cheap and cheery, if not tacky.

Also: no buttonholes on the cuff. I can't decide if I care, but the closeup sure made it obvious. Does his pocket square have a little truss going down the middle? Like to keep it from escaping?

He is to be commended for trying to improve himself.

Remember that for every man like this in America,  there are 9 others brawling behind convenience store alleys. Tie matches suit too much. Shoes and socks are awful colors. Socks even look like theyre cheap quality. But, again, he is probably a prince in his neighborhood. If he dressed much better he might become a target for a passing biker gang.

I like the cufflinks, they look like an antique mirror. Would be nicer if something were enameled on the face. Hat matching the tie and suit is also bad, looks like he is wearing a hush puppy on his head.

He looks younger in a hat, for a very good reason.

Yanks though; why can't they lace their shoes proper, like what I do ?

He would look even younger in a pith helmet...and it would better go with the outfit tongue

Re: When bespoke wishes and fabric dreams go wrong

The awkward pose is doing him no favours at all (some of the trads do similar poses, insecure and feminine). And yes, a pith helmet would make the outfit look more complete.

Colours in outfit are a real mismatch and some things are dowdy/frumpy.

Shooey is correct, they are certainly not shell.

I believe the shoe's material is called "band-aid." One has to wonder why he's using brown athletic laces as well.

Good observation. Although that also describes most of his outfit.
