You clearly know how to look smart and well put-together, and have a sophisticated sense of style.  I like the top outfit the most and think the jacket, in particular, fits most flatteringly.  Not sure if it's the lighting or my computer monitor, but, the shoulders in the second and third coat appear somewhat irregular.  Thanks for sharing and enjoy your threads.  Best wishes on your career.

The single-button jackets do indeed look great, much less fussy. I prefer the more relaxed look in the first pic, you look a lot more at home in that.

These look a lot better than the first one, 'fan. Well done. I'd make the suit pants a little longer ( sort of looks vaguely "Thom Browne"-ish). Disagree about shrinking the lapels- It'd make your head seem larger if you did.

Did you think about extending the shoulder a little?

Haven't read all the posts yet, but here are my thoughts:

Some good efforts Mafoofan. With the first pic, l would have liked to have seen some khaki colour used instead of grey pants. The shade of grey looks off..but that is probably not helped by the camera or the colour shoes worn with them.

The most recent pic is the best.

l still think you are well ahead of most when it comes to style. With dilligence and time, i'm sure you will be a master one day.

Congrats on your new job too.

Sleeves are a good length. l like the sunglasses too.

Thanks everybody. I'm not sure I understand the comments about the irregularity of the shoulder--they are unpadded, so maybe it's the 'Neapolitan'-ness of it that is rubbing you guys the wrong way? On the other hand, I'd certainly like to know if something is wrong with the execution in that scope.

I'm suprised nobody's said anything about drape. I was half-expecting to be crucified .

I like the first jacket the best and agree with Cruz, the single button approach definitely works on jackets with open quarters. I have more or less given up on two button jackets now and go for either one or three buttons on single breasted jackets. Any lumps and bumps aside the unpadded shoulders work for you because unlike a lot of people you have fairly square shoulders so you avoid the ski slope effect. The trouser length varies a bit :-)

It would be interesting to see what the back looks like because that's often where the drape cut has problems.

Rubinacci, of course!

Nice suits all, Mafoofan, you seem well on your way to developing your own interpretation of stile napoletano(?). I feel though, that the single breasted model suits your physique better than the double breasted, but, that said it's a lovely looking suit, I especially like the lapels. The cloth by the way looks like a flannel.

P.S. Belated congratulations on your recent wedding and good luck with your new career.
