Why do you feel that way?

Why do you feel that way?

After bigging himself up that much, I expected to see something better. Because there is a lot of things off with that fitting that could have been avoided.
Back is totally off, collar is way too low and off the neck.
Maybe I was just put off by Mr. Jensen's outfit. His jacket looks a bit chunky and crude, especially the collar.
Will be interesting to see the second fitting.
I also need to count the hand stitches that go into our jackets. 30.000 stitches is a lot for a soft tailored jacket.

I defer to your superior knowledge.

Even in my layman's ignorance, I suspected that 30,000 was off by an order of magnitude.

Ignoring the posture, this is pretty awesome. Makes me want a brown suit. I’d probably go with a green tie though.

^ Jacket may be just - just - a touch too short, but a lovely pattern and nice combination of colours and textures in the outfit.

Yes. I’d been planning to buy this linen-wool-silk EThomas jacket but it sold out in 40L within hours. I think the regular length is a bit too fashionably short (or made for short people by a short person) for most of us. Anyway, I don’t mind missing out so much because the price was way over what I expected.

Best worn Barbour I’ve seen in years:

Shirt tuck looks really weird.

Is the white cloth strip part of the lapel pin or does it carry a significance of some sort.

 

[Dropbear]

Love that crumply tobacco linen suit.

FT still channeling Cisco Houston:

 

[Journeyman]

Nice jacket - although he looks as thought he's channelling Errol Flynn but ended up on the wrong movie set.

"No, no, this is Captain Blood - the Dawn Patrol set is on sound stage 2!"

It's hard to believe the world was like this 130 years ago.

Why is it hard to believe?

The city of Paris looks identical today. Very little of the centers architecture and monuments have changed in the 130 years. Only changes today are the transportation, dress, and brown people

 

[Pimpernel Smith]

A lot of central Paris is still decent, but it increasingly feels under seige and parts, like in the east end of London, a veritable shit hole.

My arse. Paris is an architectural shithole, the Brutalist's utopia. Been so since the 1930s. The 1960s and 70s just sealed its fate forever.

Oh yes, the joys of Paris.....
