My Double Breasted Suit

[Senator Jack]

I believe Orgetorix was referring to a prior comment by Marcello:

Perhaps I'm reading it with an unintended tone, but 'he may be' sounds like a statement of agreement. If I am misinterpreting, then I apologize to Orgetorix.

Regards,

Senator Jack

I don't know about the others, but Tomasso clearly knows more about fitting clothing than i do.

Incidentally, i've gotten rid of most of my jackets that gap at the neck. But the gaps were much more serious than HJs jacket.

HJ-Here is from yet another women's perspective... awsome, suit it looks great! You don't need a tan but this is coming from another person who is lilly white also.

Thanks Brooksie, I appreciate your opinion. Yes, there's not much tanning to be done in Boston these days.

You should move down to Florida...lol

I should. Who knows where the future will find me. I'd make a fine Southern Gentleman, as long as I didn't open my mouth.

More a statement of charity than agreement. Read it as, "Even if what you say were true, nonetheless..." I don't, in fact, happen to agree with Marcello. Marc Chevalier, Baron Kurtz, and Matt Deckard do indeed know quite a bit about fitting clothing, as do Will, Manton, yourself, and a goodish number of others. I was trying to make a point about Marcello's behavior, not about anyone's sartorial knowledge--perhaps I wasn't clear enough. My apologies.

At any rate, Hem, it's a great suit!

At any rate, Hem, it's a great suit!

Thanks, Pal, 'much appreciated.

So, now let's stay on point.

And cut down on the ice cream! lol

Nah, the ice cream stays. So does the suit. :eusa_clap

There is not much tanning to be done here on the Oregon Coast either! It is more likely a person will mildew before they tan with all the rain we get here!

Not wishing to revive the issue, but as a member at SF as well, I just wanted to point out that from what I can find there is no member named 'marcello' there. And for that matter, every board has its less than polite members. Even Fedora Lounge.

HJ, the suit looks great. There does appear to be a gap in a couple of the pics, but you have to decide whether it's worth the bother or cost to address it. I have suits and sport coats that aren't perfect, but they're close enough that the added expense isn't worth it to me to fix. I have limited resources, and have to prioritize where to place them.

I can guarantee this, wear that suit as pictured and you're better dressed than 99% of the men I see.

Thank you, AlanC. I appreciate the feedback. You make excellent points.

Here are some additional photos I finally got around to taking.





This was the best $20 I have ever spent for a suit.

Wow! Sharp. The price just makes it better still.
