Show us your suits

Looking good Retro Spectator. I managed to get a suit together once with some British Army Blue dress trousers (with the high waist and pleats) and a Burton's the Tailors jacket - the fabric is an eerily close match. It's never let me down yet, although I tend to wear other stuff more often now.
If you're handy on the sewing machine, you could just tailor the waist on that jacket to give a bit more of a 1940's look.

Can't beat thornproof Matt !

beautiful suit. Interesting shoes too. what colour are they? A closeup of the suit cloth would be appreciated too!

Will post more of the tweed soon enough. This one has a biswing back. My friend Erin took the shot at her annual Winter Formal.

Plaid!

Chocolate Brown peak lapel 3 button

Pretty much like the suit from ROPE without but the vest is at home.

I think a two-button coat would suit you better.

I think a month of jogging would suit me better.

That would mean wearing sportswear (gah!)

Swimming (as i do) is a better choice: at least no dowdy clothing is required!

New member here. I've been into classical menswear for a couple years now. I hope to learn a lot from this community. Here are some of my bespoke suits.

Absolutely lovely work! Welcome to the Lounge! Those are impeccably done, in fit and style. I particularly love the double breasted vest on that navy suit. While it is sometimes considered impertinent to ask, is your tailor Steed? I think I've seen that double-breasted suit in some of their materials.

Thank you. Yes my tailor is Steed. Their house style yields a dramatic silhouette, especially when seen from eye level (these pics are taken from chest height). Extended shoulders, full sleeves, drape over the chest, and a pronounced pinch at the waist.

Welcome to the Lounge, Bespokewrinles. I second Patrick, especially the blue suit. That double breasted vest looks spot on, something that one doesn't see often in modern suits, even bespoke.

 

[Mathematicus]

Beautiful suits, Bespokewrinkles. I'm glad to see the double breasted suit's lapels are spot on!

 

[Awesomest Guy]

Fantastic suits, Bespokewrinkles. I've been hankering after a DB waistcoat for a while now. Too bad I live in a sartorial desert.

 

[MajorToht35]

Okay.

Here's a vintage suit:

Thank goodness there is no accounting for taste. However, even the homeliest of orphans deserves a good home...
