A couple months old, but they just published the pic. It’s a wake-up call to me to stop spending time on the interwebs reading about dressing well in a professional environment when the bar is set so low amongst my peers, lol.

Who made your suit? I see a phone in your pocket, ughh, need a special inside pocket in your coat for that.

At least the other bloke is in a traditional suit and tie.

What l wanna see is the shoos, but l am almost scared to know what you are both wearing because l know there is a high chance both of you probably messed it up.
 


So...I think I've finally exhausted all the pattern improvements I could come up with. Finally decided to share some pictures, even though the pants had been stuffed in a bag for a week.

EDIT: What's the image size limit here? I'd rather upload directly here if I can. It says the files are too big.

Server space is costly. We keep it low in an effort to keep things streamlined. Better to link externally from an image uploading site.

sorry for caps.

It is so important to have an impeccably clean toilet fit for the Queen, visitors really appreciate it, especially women.

Nice pants.
Stand alones, or part of a suit? I have similar as a suit, English Bladen from years gone sour. Great cloth and pattern, yours. Mine too. Your hands photograph young, thought you were old, ish. Maybe I'm thinking of myself.
 
This arrived a few days ago. (From Latvia, swear.) Harris tweed needing work. Condition's good, but too long by a couple of inches and needs to be re-sized at the waist. I can handle that. Will use the snipped cloth elsewhere.

Stand alone trousers, made from excellent cloth Scottish cloth.

Thanks for the compliment, people do say l like younger than my years. I do cultivation practice of mind and body; it can slow down the aging process. I feel very fortunate, but a lot of people who practise also experience this benefit.

Nice jacket, lucky.

WHY???

dunno. I guess I am in a no-sock phase because no suits or jackets and scrubs all day. sockless in my scrub shoos. wore shearling lined ankle boots all winter and I've never worn socks with shearling or other insulated boots. then I just switched to spring/summer footwear and just went sockless with all my boots too see how comfortable it might be, and surprisingly my feet were not torn up.

only casual footwear. not laced shoos. always socks mit suits and jackets.

Least comfortable sockless? RMW, which surprised me. My cheap-ass Redbacks are way better.

Dayton and Red Wing are super comfortable.

Most comfortable are my cowboy boots, with Tex Robin at the top of the list.

Bit of a swing and a miss. There is a lot to like about this linen jacket, but I knew there was a risk it would be too short when I ordered it. Ideally would have been better with gaberdine chino and not these 5 pocket pants.

This has a bit of the look of Bond’s rig when he was with Madeline Swan in Tangier on the way to Blofeld’s secret underground lair. You both make the mistake of having pants too close in color to the jacket. I would have gone lighter with cream / off white (would have to change the shirt) but you could go darker with dark tan / true khaki or marine blue. I also think you’re right that five pockets don’t really level up with the formality of tailored odd jackets.
You’re still better dressed than 99 percent of the schlubs I see when I’m out and about!

Dropbear Dropbear The jacket looks a bit "boxy" not sure why and the short length accentuates it. It will help you a lot to get proper high rise trousers or jeans. I know if you have a long body that shorter jackets will help with the silhouette but that's too short. Strangely I find that dartless jackets, ie not very waisted, look OK on me - with a long body. You might try a few vintage, or new, Ivy jackets should be easy in USA.

You might look at slightly wider trousers too. Suits will flatter you more than contrasts with Biz Caz. Or try for less contrast with sport coats and trousers. Maybe more casual suits, non worsted, with texture, and looser, in cord or cotton etc.

Have a look at workwear - the more toward the Biz end. Will suit you I think.
