What's your opinion on high armhole suit jackets?
02-20-2013, 09:46 PM
Once I got one I donated all my others. Wearing a suit went from something I did when necessary to something I enjoy.
As for off-the-rack suits, people say good things about jecrew, BR's modern blazer, and suitsupply. If you're into made-to-measure like indochina, consider thick as thieves as well.
If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.

It's a detail that only clothes horses notice.
Avg people don't notice.
Chicks don't notice, especially hot ones.
Hiring managers don't notice.
Rich people don't notice.
Fashion people don't notice.
There's no external benefit to the smaller details, ime.
There's plenty of internal benefit though.
If you're rocking high arm holes, or a custom Bemberg lining, bespoke shoes, a $170 pocket square - you're doing that for yourself, cause even if most people don't have a clue, you do, and how you feel about yourself is what matters.

Its a detail that I notice, and that's why I thought it was important. I hate how jackets bunch up around the shoulder area and pull up the torso as well if you lift your arm up. Does it cut into the armpit?

Elaborate. What is the advantage of this?
I have canali pants (albeit from fashion district aka high-end frauds in LA). The rayon fabric lining inside the pants feels butter-smooth.
Is that the difference?
WIA- For most of men, our time being masters of our own fate, kings in our own castles is short. Even those of us in the game will eventually succumb to ease of servitude rather than deal with the malaise of solitude

Love them. Aside from overall fit, it's the main detail I look for.
