    Thanks to Alan, My new Jacket

    Alan set me up with a coat that was a bit too small for him. Here's a few of me attmpting my version of a McMurdo/Panache photo spread

    An attempt at a vest and tie:


    A bit more casual with a turtle neck sweater:

    This jacket goes very well with my new Oren Peterson Tartan. Thanks Alan!

    Looks good!

    If you want to wear it with the waistcoat I would recomend getting two very small safety pins and tacking the bottom up on the inside of the the waistcoat to shorten it.

    A cheap, quick and easy fix to a too long waistcoat with a proper length kil jacket.

    PM me if that didn't make sense

    Cheers

    Very nice. Congratulations. I like the turtleneck look myself (satisfies the spy in all of us.)

    I like the black waistcoat with the grey jacket. You might want to consider replacing the buttons on the waistcoat with ones to match those on the jacket. I think it would present a more unified look.
    They're both very good looks. Congrats, and keep posting the pics!
