Grayson, JackKelly: Great pictorial inspiration there.

I'm actually looking at this for my next suit (but in a more classic cut of course): https://www.blacklapel.com/suits/solid-cool-gray-3-piece.html

^ Very cool, even the pocket watch.

I was led to believe by my girlfriend that light grey would "wash me out" but I'm not so sure of that anymore. Indeed, Connery wears that famous glen plaid suit (that appears light grey from arm's length) quite well, yet he is also a winter in colouration.

Jovan, I think you may actually be a 'Summer': I recall you mentioning that as a child you had light/blonde hair, which went darker to the colour it is now. That is one of the hallmarks of a 'Summer'. If you are, indeed, a 'Summer' then a blue grey will work much better; or, if you buy a true grey make sure you have have your flattering colours reserved for your shirt and tie.

A true light grey suit and white shirt look dead on me.

Pretty sure I'm still a winter. Truthfully, I had reddish brown hair that was sun-bleached from being out on the beach a lot, then later turned dark brown. This is not uncommon when reaching a certain age, I believe it happened to my mother. My father was dark blonde. I do occasionally get red strands in the hair and beard, but overall darker colours tend to work best on me.

Completely agree. Really like the fabric, but the fit on the model in the website? (I'll ignore any commentary about the hairstyle!). I don't think there's any way that jacket can button, and the view from the back has that characteristic horizontal creasing beneath the collar that the Forum is always criticizing. I had been thinking of trying a suit from there, but seeing these pictures gives me pause.

Your in trouble when they cant make suits fit models, some places cant even make things look good on dress forms.

Most of the images have obvious fit problems. Lots have collars that stand away from the neck, so collar fitting seems to be one of the bigger problems they have. They all look sloppy across the shoulder blades.

IIRC, Derek and Warren told me they had trouble with some of the models even showing up. So they had to find replacements last minute that were roughly the same dimensions. (Difficult when the suits are custom made for another person, not just off the rack.) I do hope they eventually get better pictures for the first suits they offered, as they don't do them justice. The newest ones (with the non-fauxhawked white model and Asian model) have a definite improvement in fit. I noticed the collar standing away issue, but they seem to have fixed that as I never had a problem.
