@ExMember @dieworkwear I don’t see how tan trousers would do anything but make the outfit less formal. Mid grey wouldn’t make it more formal either, but they’d be about the same formality.

Early access to the show tomorrow. I'm reunited with my old pal Matt Spaiser of @BondSuits who prefers how Sean did the Tux/Wetsuit reveal over Arnie. https://t.co/ZtbEBOP8fF

RIP Sonny Rollins, a great jazz talent and the last surviving musician in one of the best photos of men in suits during the 20th century

@pfhein @clashreport Here’s another don’t. Don’t wear a Royal Navy tie if you didn’t serve in the Royal Navy.

@HumboldtBunny @Slumbertron_ @dieworkwear Unfortunately it doesn’t do much

@dilledahlin @Slumbertron_ @dieworkwear They do nothing for moths, but they make your clothes smell nice

@foolrushingin @dieworkwear That’s an extra large hand because it has an extra finger.

@jason_pontin @dieworkwear I believe someone else was cutting for the king back then.

@johnnyblacksad @dieworkwear A blue blazer like this wouldn’t be made of tweed. Heavy ones are made of serge, flannel or cavalry twill.

@Richiepaul7699 @dieworkwear This suit is from the 2010s. More recently he has had suits made by Steven Hitchcock, but not a large number.

[Bond Suits @BondSuits]

@LeonardGo @dieworkwear He no longer does, but this suit is A&S and is about a decade old

[Bond Suits @BondSuits]

@dieworkwear This suit was made about a decade ago at Anderson & Sheppard, cut by John Hitchcock. He broke up with this tailor less than a decade ago. His more recent commissions are from Steven Hitchcock, and they’re superior.

@sprinkles19025 @For_Film_Fans Outside of Askenazi tradition, it’s not frowned upon to name one’s son after himself, but Goldfarb is obviously an Askenazi name

@JBMason This is a sporty linen suit. It’s great for a large number of summer occasions. It’s great for a summer wedding as worn here. It’s great for a special dinner, a night at the opera or symphony, or a party. The jacket can work with odd trousers, and without a tie.

[Bond Suits @BondSuits]

@JBMason @ANC_CA @tannerguzy This is a linen suit, so it’s way below a tuxedo. The jacket could be worn more casually, with ecru linen or cotton trousers, for example. Being double-breasted makes it slightly more formal than single-breasted, but linen makes this a fairly casual suit in any case.

@SartorialNotes What about charcoal flannel trousers with a light grey jacket?

[Bond Suits @BondSuits]

@RJdeMans I’m not against notch lapels on a dinner jacket. I’m okay with a notch lapels if they have a considered shape. The cut and fit are much more important.
