how sharp is your suit?

my wedding (fuck me, i can't believe i just typed that :eek: ) is just the excuse i'm looking for to finally buy a fucking expensive tailored suit


my current suit isn't too bad, mind, for a Next off-the-peg. single breasted, nice high collar, slight pinstripe
 
Dub - You could go shopping with Blagsta for a M&S smart black wool trousers and jacket. :)

Just a suggestion. :cool:

I've already got me trousers LD ain't you been reading? :p

and you've seen my shirts...
I know that but someone has to go and help Dub shop. You've seen the way he dresses and you're the best person for the job precisely because of your shirts.

M&S smart black wool trousers. Will they do?
Nope - a suit is a suit - they need to go together - it's a fashion faux-pas to mix and match, even if the colours match.

There's a very fine line between looking sharp and looking like a wino, you know! ;)

and it's practically impossible to find a pair of trousers which exactly matches the jacket, if they weren't made to go together.

a ribbon in your hair perhaps??

or a photo in ugly mug would do ;)

Not enough hair to tie a ribbon (aside from the obvious clash with the suit)

As the photo in ugly mug, even if I had the ability to attach images to posts (which I still don't, despite many attempts) I fear I'd look slightly out of place amongst the current crop of baby photos.

Nope, I'll have to remain a faceless suit for now.

;)
 
i ahve one suit. black, long jacket, double-breasted, quite nice. not very sharp i guess, but not too shabby.

i also own a variety of blazers to wear with me jeans for that east london / 80s social worker look.

Ummm, no. :(

Ok, that still doesn't get me past the lack of technical nouse required to post a photo. :confused:

I'll see what I can do. I can guarantee I'll be without suit though. ;)

You dont need to 'attach' it u need to just bung it up on somewhere like flickr, photobucket, or imageshack and then put the url of where it is inbetween the tags :cool:

Eazy Peazy :p

*runs out of excuses*

Prepare to be underwhelmed.

:cool:
 
This thread reminds me - I really need to get a suit - got rid of an old one a few years ago (hated it), so could do with one now. No idea where to go though - my idea of hell is a shop full of different suits - where do I start!

Mens suits have to be dark I think - none of this pale rubbish :)
 
Some nice threads on this thread.

I picked up a light brown single-breasted pinstriped from a charity shop in Herne Bay at xmas, perfect condition. Could have been bespoke it fits that well, nice flare to the trousers.

Sharp, in a 'clutching a pint of Double Diamond at a wedding in 1979' kind of way.

Nice. A slightly distressed background punter in a private members club in the Sweeney kind of look?
 
Are we yet ready for the revival of the full Howard Kirk look ...

I have a black Armani suit which I bought from a charity shop 5 years ago. Trashpony has pics of me wearing it. I thought I was the bees knees in it, but someone who knows about suits will probably correct me.
