As odd trousers or part of a suit?

And again, damn you Calvin. May your navy suit turn out all wrong.

Odd trousers would show the contour lines of my jockstraps perfectly.

Oh, thanks for the cussing. You've reminded me of my first appointment with him next Saturday.

Now I'm starting to feel the quarters are too open.

The quarters are perfect and you know it. (Silencer and walnek will recall how I communicated to AL about them.) I have now started loving the single button silhouette. It makes the coat so symmetrical. From now on, either one button or three. Never two again.

OK. The shape of those buttonholes is erm... let's talk about it some other time since you're very self-absorbed at the moment.

The buttonholes need improvement. I think the problem is with either the gimp or the seamstress.

Added on April 27, 2010, 11:46 pmHave you inspected your MBT du jour's buttonholes?

BTW, neither silencer nor walnek understand this obsession with buttonholes one bit. They think you're loony.

Finally! I'm very positive that MBT can deliver awesome looking buttonholes this time. His last attempt using lousy thread and gimp...


I have OCD.

AL needs to fire his seamstress. Unfortunately she is his younger sister...

Added on April 27, 2010, 11:55 pmWere you serious about those quarters? You cannot be. They form a nice symmetrical X shape with the lapel opening.

i think alt buttonholes are nice and acceptable,,,,we dont have to pursue perfection everytime
the last thing we want people to label us when they see teh clothes we wear is to call us perfectionist

attention to detail is good thing, but sometimes too perfect seems unnatural

Everyone here is unnatural to me =X

Good, then fark off and go back to wearing your black polyester RTW.

Added on April 28, 2010, 12:27 pmI think we all pursue excellence here. Otherwise we wouldn't spend so much time discussing clothes. Beautiful buttonholes are quite a thing to behold. They're like hand-blued watch hands. When done right they are incredible.

Unlike machine-made buttonoles, hand-made buttonholes must never be perfect. I call them Shibui. There is apparent difference between buttonholes made by an amateur and a master. A master is most exrent.

nice big patch pockets,,,,,,very unique

So far, nobody has surpassed GDT's buttonholes...

Hand made ones are not perfect however they can be close to perfect when done right.

Are those green pants? And nice shoes btw.

Those pants are the grey ones AL made for me.

Shoes are a pair of vintage Cheaney's I bought off ebay.
