      Jonathan should have renamed Alan Flusser to Flusser & Sigmon first. After Alan's retirement, I think Jonathan's name should be prominent on the door bell as well.

    The chalk stripe looks classy, especially on the navy blue wool. Love the waistcoat, it transforms the experience of the suit to another level, imo. I must complement the choice of the high waisted trousers as well, the proportions seem just right. Great choice of fabric and maker, Kirby. Enjoy it in good health!

    Jonathan is great.
    The fabric, general trouser waist height, degree of tightness, collar height and jacket silhouette are all very nice. I agree with Jonathan about adding a little room in the waist to allow for better drape. I would definitely not match with that tie though.
    I look almost like Kirby's twin so it's very helpful in making my own sartorial decisions ;)

    17:28 Mr. Allison: I watched several of your vids and subscribed. I would enjoy your input on the topic of "fabric roll". Notice the shirt and the large horizontal 'roll'. In all my experience that type of 'roll' is something to avoid via correct fitting. Subtle vertical rolling is typical and normal. My general perception is you need to consider relaxing your fit in some areas. The problem can also arise (or be solved) with an undershirt. To a certain extent, undergarments can dictate the final 'look'.

    This reminds me of a striped suit that I owned about 30 years ago.
    Even then, it was "vintage" as it was made in Germany in 1948.
    I've never seen another like it- EVERY STRIPE on the suit perfectly lined up wherever the material met at a seam... Talk about German Precision!
    As far as a higher waist in trousers, they should lie exactly on ones NATURAL waist... The same goes for the main closure button on one's jacket.
    Anything else looks goofy, like a fella is trying to get by with wearing a kid's suit.
    I'll never get how hip huggers became to be considered "comfortable".

    That suit looks really great on you, really. I would have chosen a more contrasty lining, but that is just me. Like a Hermes Orange or Saddle Brown. Something that makes it more personalized style. Purple? Why couldn't they use the same material for the jacket lining that they used on the vest back? That would look good. That would give it some pizazz, when you flash the inside of the jacket. Personally, I never let them put those satin back of the vests, I ask for the same material on the back of the vest as the front, and it just looks better when you take the jacket off. I wear a vest, but no jacket in the office, and it just looks more complete. I think. (and no buckle at the back of the vest. If it's custom made for you, there doesn't need for an adjustment buckle on the back of the vest. And I don't let them put buttons on the sleeves of the jacket, it's just my affectation.
