yes its a tux, but im just trying to point out how the wide lapels look great on him even though he isn't a big guy..

true, charcoal is definitely more versatile than black, however you made it seem as though no one wears black except if their going for the goth look or unless their going for a funeral, which is not true.. in fact black suits are among the popular choices for weddings.. black is a strong color, not exactly a mourning one..

although it can be done on any knot, i think its best paired with the windsor as those who really want to go for that elegant look, would most likely tie the windsor anyway..

nice looking suit u got there, off-the-rack or custom made?

but you may want to shorten your pants a but, its bunched up quite a little..

hey, my bro's suit alright, they will call soon when its ready.. then i'll take pix and post them up here.. im tempted to make a cotton suit lol..

i actually kinda like the material, i think the pink stripe is a great touch.. no pants? but i cant judge the suit just looking at it hang from a hanger.. your son should actually try putting on the suit and from there then we can give our opinion on how it looks on him.. for me, if you bought it without your son first trying - that's already a wrong move there..

oh you mean you've not purchased it yet? hmmm yeah as what Fusion[eX] mentioned, its really going to be hard to pair this with a non-matching pant.. especially because it is a BROWN stripe.. the only thing that comes to my mind to nicely match these are with corduroy pants.. in fact it may actually be a little hard to pull those off with jeans.. i'd advice getting your son the matching jacket and pant, preferably something more basic in terms of color, charcoal grey, navy blue, black.. the jacket you posted up is more for seasoned suit wearers..

what i mean by seasoned suit wearer is someone who is very experienced and is very regular to wearing suits..

yes as Fusion[eX] mentioned, what your friend meant by 36/34 is either a size US 36 or a size 34, so for European sizing, it will be size 46 or 44.. but i dont get it, can't he get a suit himself? why get a suit from here out of all places?

my recommendation is still the same: Lord's or Granoff.. i'd like to go hong kong and get a suit from one of the "Big 3"..

Lord's in Bangsar Shopping Complex

Granoff in Gardens Mid Valley

hmmm i think my dad actually made a suit from there bfore..

no comment..

just make sure its the correct size before you buy.. if you're unsure of your son's size, measure him up first..

they'll charge about RM1000 for their service, but of course its not exactly just their service, lining, buttons, thread are calculated in as well..

isnt that a two-button suit?

but if i would to imagine a 3rd button, then the 3rd button stance would be too low.. anyway i get what you mean by the suit jacket looking a little long, then again his legs also seem long, so they actually help balance out in the body section.. but other than that great looking suit..

this is basically the button location of the last button and the imaginary 3rd button:

i think with prices like RM400-500, you'll only get the jacket for that price from G2000, Topman.. and RM500-700 for the jacket only as well from brands like Zara.. so a suit from G2000, Topman will come out to about RM700 and a suit from Zara will be around RM1000..

it really depends what kind of cutting you like, im assuming you're a young guy and wants to go for slim cut one.. for interviews, a good choice will be light grey, grey and charcoal grey suit.. light grey suit can be a really fresh option and is great for summer.. for more versatility and for more bang for the buck, go for a charcoal suit..

i'd suggest going for a single breasted two button suit, its the standard in today's times.. crisp white shirt with dark tie and well polished shoes.. dark colored sling bag / luggage bag..

read the slideshow and view the video on the first post, gives you good insight on general knowledge regarding suiting..

on the right you can see a great suit for interviews:



this style is basically trim cut, looks really great for younger adults, he complemented his look with a slim tie.. this is the look which you should strive for, so when buying your suit, you practically have to try out tons of suits, its not an easy job.. you have to find one that fits something like the picture on the right.. don't be afraid to try smaller sizes, one of the biggest mistakes people make when buying a suit is buying sizes which are actually too big..

you have to first gain the "eye" on how a good fitting suit should look like as looking good is really all about the state of mind..
so you have to be tuned in to what is really considered a good looking suit..
