It's been fun to visit with you all again, but it's time to meander on down the road. If I suit up, I die, so consider this my parting gift for @Kashmir_314_ - think of me fondly, @kinetixtrainer2 and @Deadman_Diggingup, may you always be the best and worst couple in mfp history. Bye again, @CacoEther, smell ya later.
A niece and her fiancee died together unexpectedly in a car crash a couple of weeks ago - they were to be married in March. I put on a suit for their memorials, despite it being live streamed - thanks to covid we sent only one person back home. I tried to smile and take a picture, but even that kind of failed. So nobody saw, but it was the right thing to do, I think. Sometimes suits are old fashioned, sometimes they are things just older guys wear. Sometimes you're the old guy wearing a suit that (almost) nobody will see. Whether it's age or respect or just looking good, there's a million reasons it might be appropriate, and maybe after all of this is over it'll somehow come into fashion again.
I’m sorry for your loss1 -

Great respect my friend. I hate your family had to experience that loss.1 -

I’m so very sorry for the tragedy that led to you wearing the suit 🙏🏻
I do appreciate the insight on the fashion though and find it an interesting point that likely applies to many things these days 🖤1 -

Aww dude... I didn’t even know it was you and you’re leaving. That legitimately makes me unhappy. Also, I am so very sorry for the loss to you and your family.5 -

Not to worry, we're linked on instagram, and I'm more active there. Sorry I had to keep things quiet, they don't like me doing things like deleting accounts and posting as a ghost. :bigsmile:
Thank you all for the condolences.5 -
Glad we got to "see" you again @5ofseven. My how you've sartorially blessed this thread so many times (I may have counted 'em all). But this pic posting is a sad one. Hope we see you again soon when you're readdy and that you and your family continue loving on one another in the meantime.1

He’s definitely a man who delivers. 🤩1 -

Thank you, we're doing exactly that.
I have picked up some nice jackets during covid (megasales from companies trying to keep the doors open), but now my better half has forbidden me from adding more, given that I'm now around 25 suits and sport coats.6 -
Furthermore, NO ONE wears a suit or knows a suit like my man @5ofseven !6

Ah hah! You've helped me figure out something.
Not that I would ever say this to his face, but...the jacket body is too long. Mr. Johnson (heh) was the subject of some of the earliest posts in the thread. Being a huge guy, suiting is a real challenge. Everything with him has been largely tailored well, but something seemed off despite it. Your picture shows it, it's the length of the body of the jacket (not the sleeves) that is very classic length (longer than most modern jackets). It isn't wrong, it's just longer than looks proportionally correct on him. Shorten it by an inch, inch and a half, and it would be dead on.
Not that this quenches the thirst for him.
All of the rest of it is perfect.6 -

A much better cut and fit for him.
Same thing happening here. Lovely suit, nice big pattern on a big guy, massive lapels on a muscular frame. That's all very good. Jacket just a couple of inches too long and the break of fabric at the ankles is a bit too heavy.0 -
Pre-move across the country, saved just for @MaltedTea. Don't mind the dirty mirror, just look at the suit please.10
