1st fitting boys.....first fitting.
Assuming fit issues can be fixed before delivery, one major un-fixable problem remains: the pattern and shape is too strong for the man. He has a bland, anonymous, constipated face and yet he's wearing a spread collar shirt, massive thick tie knot, shiny tie, and (soon) a suit with thick black stripes. He will be worn by his clothes, so to speak. It's a great example of iGent lack of "eye". These guys never understand they should dominate their clothing, not the other way around. They look at pics of Cary Grant and think "me too", never realizing that Grant could have worn flourescent red suits and his face, personality, and deportment would always have dominated the suit. Flusser has a superb example of this in his latest book; I don't have the page number handy, but it shows two models wearing the same suit: one dominates the suit, the other is dominated by the suit.
^ Interesting view but his collar and tie are unremarkable IMO. The cloth is very striking but people wore that sort of thing in earlier times - a bit 'Three Men in a Boat'.
I was more interested in whether goes to the sort of shooting events that requires such clothes. If the answer is yes it is another expensive pursuit.

With that cloth I would like to be standing 1 or 2 pegs left or right of him on a driven shoot because all the birds are going to see him and go left or right rather than over.
