convertible cuff?

never heard of that, what ive heard though are french cuffs which use buttons as their cuff links giving them appearance of a regular buttoned cuff..

Added on March 11, 2009, 9:15 pmhi DinKnight, thanks for sharing the pictures..

firstly i'd probably recommend that you do not button the top, however keep the middle buttoned at all times when not sitting, this will give you a longer torso and balance the look of your whole body..

secondly, you may also want to shorten the length of your pants a little bit, too much break there..

here are additional tips for a large man:

you're welcome, button the middle only on your three button suit.. try out the pocket square tip which is to focus attention on your chest instead of your belly..

it does appear like a true 3 button, but then it could appear so because he has buttoned the top for a long time.. i think it would work fine if he stops unbuttoning the top and get it pressed..

yeah we realize that, what you can try doing is button the middle and then adjust the lapels to elongate them..

could you post up pictures of such cuffs? =)

oh my, lol.. idk where you can find ready to wear with those cuffs, but you probably could get them custom made.. i personally wouldnt wear them though..

try philosophy men, they have blazer similar to the picture you posted, they also have some new plaid ones i think..

there's no fixed measurement for everyone, it really depends on yourself and how you want it to look.. but yeah slim cut is the way i'd go =)

well, basically you said you want a suit right? so your jacket must match your pants.. obviously your pants is a pin stripe design, therefore you'll certainly have to look around for a blazer/suit jacket which is very close/similar to the dress pants in this picture.. to me, if you would wear a pin stripe pants and a solid black jacket, or any other non-matching articles as part of a suit, that would just look weird.. it has to be matching, which is why its called a suit in the first place..

hmmm nup i dont have any white pants at the moment.. hmmm well you could pair it with a t-shirt if you wish.. everything has to be trim though.. no baggy stuff, if not you'll look like those wannabe teenagers..

here's an example of how it will work:

not a newbie question at all, indeed white/light color shirts are the "standard" when wearing a formal suit, this is likely because the white/light color shirt is able to clearly present itself under the suit, in addition, the tie pattern/color will also be clearly shown.. i find only certain ties match black shirts, mostly the "shiny" ones such as silver, gold..

so to your question whether it is possible to look very good wearing black dress shirt with black/navy suit, i'd say yes it is possible, but as i mentioned in the thread below, you've got to be really sharp to pull it off..

i'm one of the guys as well which sometimes skip wearing a belt, i definitely do not feel odd even thought there are belt loops available on the pants =)

nice Fusion[eX], where you got that trench from? so did u walk in the rain? lol..

alright thanks nonexno for your comment.. im fine with the length, i agree waist cld have been more tapered, the shoulders and waist hv been adjusted after this picture, suit still with the tailor, am waiting to meet the master tailor again to get some tweaks done..

how much did you pay for it? but then the bottom part of your pants and shoes wld still get wet right? hmm..

i prefer side vents as well but i have nothing against centre vents.. my next would be double vented, am still finding a very good tailor in malaysia, and am thinking of purchasing the material from outside to save cost.. any articles i can read on this?

Added on March 24, 2009, 9:39 pmand also i need some advice on how to purchase cloth through ebay..

yeah exactly, anyone know any good links to read up on this? im afraid most tailors nowadays would be reluctant to share such information as they would prefer the customers to buy their in-house cloth..

yeah suit jackets with ticket pockets look nice, but shouldnt you not wear your suit jacket when driving? i read somewhere that it wasnt advisable..

yeah sound good, am planning to go to Binwani's sometime soon to take a look around, mofonyx mentioned that they always have 70% off lol..

not only the friction from the seat belts, the cushion seat as well (which is much larger area compared to seat belts).. and wearing your suit jacket while driving may end up creasing them as well..

lol.. haih my suit is still with my tailor, supposedly they claim that it is possible to have a perfect suit still although the paddings are trimmed later on =S i dont know le, now when i feel the padding, they seem "bumpy", like they are not even.. they are truly pissed at me already as i'm still not satisfied with it..
