how not to have a suit made

first of all why would someone want to order a thick nearly black mourning cloth , secondly look how the lapels are fucked up, they are maybe well made in terms of skill but in terms of elegance well thats another thing , you could do wide lapels right as tom ford is doing them but theres something strange about these for sure, maybe they would have worked in linen but in this cloth pathetic, the cloth sucks big time.They would have been sooooooo much better in west of england light grey flannel. heres what a tailor said


Lapels are far too wide for a single breasted jacket which is cut fairly narrow and single button., too add the trousers are too narrow for this wide lapel. Jacket is also a little long for the geezers  build. Trouser cuff is very high for such a narrow trouser. shirt collar is small making head look big.. material difficult to see in detail but colour a very conservative blue, could have gone slightly lighter?  




instead of this bespoke debacle you'd be better off getting a tailor to do something that is the biollocks in terms of up beat and snazzy. this really really really sucks this is another the same geezer had done and this sucks big time as well, first of all hes been advised by tailors that pow is a db style and the fact is  it never was, what it was was a 3 button front with top button hidden or just a two button, worn by bookmakers and with a snap brim trilby. look at the crazy pairing of the shirt and tie, sucks as i saidONE DAY HE'LL LOOK BACK ON THIS AND THEN SUDDENLY CRINGE
WHY WOULD YOU ACTUALLY MAKE YOURSELF LOOK SILLY WHILE SPENDING HUNDREDS TO DO SO-the tailor again


However what on earth is going on with the cut here on this pow? , the jacket is far too short! Lapels are very thin ( fashionable at the moment I guess) button placement is odd and not splayed out as I would have opted for .. also 4 button not as good a look as 6 IMHO. Shoulders need more padding on a double breasted fine worsted wool it looks odd to have such a soft shoulder .. if the material was heavier and coarser a heavy flannel or hopsack or even cashmere you could get away with the softer look. and all this was doe by a so called dogs bolloocks bespoke tailor, just hope it wasnt from the row.



HE CPOULD HAVE HAD THIS , THIS IS BETTER CUT

FOR A HUNDRED NOTES OR THIS, this is marks and spencer and is miles better
FOR TWO GRAND IN SAVILLE ROW OR THIS

tom ford suit nearly perfect

look how badly this suit is made, the fockin trousers dont even meet the shoe, it looks crap in my opinion. Its a weird Italian idea that never ever worked , it was based on an original gay thing where the suit was unbuttonable

seven suits no more no less

One of the big mistakes with a wardrobe is first of all buying suits solely for the office, ones that can't be used for other activities and secondly suits that are too many. On this blog the motto is Sharp not discreet, Sharp not flash so all the suits you buy should show sharpness

No MORE PERMANENT STYLE

The boring scene of men with boring expensive or inexpensive suits with no meaning other than wearing them to work is in reality a waste of money. Something you only wear at the office, does that make sense. But with a little bit of thought this needn't be the case if you select the right cut and style plus the right cloth.

The suit Mel Gibson is wearing is a pearl grey one button front like the jacket below.It looks great because it doesn't look like a suit for the office, this is because of the colour, the cut and the material. The one button grey suit is brilliant for the office with the right office type tie then you can ring the changes with a shirt or tie change in the evening and you don't look like one of the zombies coming down the tube or going up it at Moorgate rush hourYou can even change shoes if its spring or summer , like put on these loafers from delicious junction at just below 80 quid.
