Belvest

I wanted this jacket as a high end compliment to some casual outfits. It is a beautiful garment and fit my stocky build very well. Material is remarkably comfortable, you could probably wear it for 24 hours no worries. However it is a bit loud. Sort of like James Brown goes to England! I did send it back but reluctantly.

This is a fine, handsome, versatile sport coat. Looks good, feels good. It is medium light weight, which adds to the versatility of the garment. I consider it a very good buy at the STP price but overpriced at the suggested retail value.

This is an absolutely gorgeous suit. Extremely fine cloth (super 150's, I would guess) yet does not wrinkle badly, (a pleasant surprise). Pink lining is an eye-popper (your tailor can replace if you prefer, I did not) and it was a bit tight across the upper back (easily rectified by my tailor). Stripes go from striking to subtle with varying shades of light (and appear a lighter blue, not teal, to me), and suit has a nice, Italian luster. The man not feint of heart may well find it his preferred suit of all! When I first hung up the suit, my wife, whose tastes run on the rather conservative side, said, "I like it." Enough said, indeed. This is my favorite suit already, among a rather nice collection.
