I think it's a given that anyone looking at a formally dressed woman can give an opinion on how she looks. The color, the fit, the fabric, whether a person pays attention to "fashion" or not all enter into whether someone "likes" a certain look or not. When it comes to men's tailoring and formal wear it's different. I go on about how a man's formal wear is tailored but there is a heck of a lot more that goes into that "tailoring" than I knew. It seems people were freaking out over Daniel Craig's pink velvet suit jack at the premier of his last Bond movie and someone took the time to post a tutorial, on Twitter, about what is right, and wrong about the suit jacket. It's interesting to read what he says.

Really very odd for him to have gone through all of that and spend no time on the velvet. Velvet is thicker than most suit fabrics and would affect the cut. Seems like about the same pattern every time, similar too short and tight sleeve, but the velvet fabric makes this fit worse than some of his other looks.

That being said, I thought this was a good look and I'm not a fan of his though I am a fan of the franchise. The three-quarter angle view of him is superior to the front one, it better masks the tailoring flaws.

I thought the same thing about the fabric choice. The people who created the jacket are supposed to be among the best in the business and should've known that velvet has no "give" until it does "give" and becomes shapeless. I wonder when the jacket was created and if he's added a bit of weight since it was made. A quarter to half an inch would've made for a better fit. The thing is once you see the mistakes he points out you can't unsee them. You're right that the three quarter angle masks the tailoring mmistakes.

I don't know. how you dressed (or didn't) for Samhain (Halloween) but I bet you're not getting the attention this man is. And yes I understand the references a lot of people are making.

Since this is also about entertainment...Bruce Springsteen just sold his catalog to Sony for $500 million. That's half a billion dollars. It's just mind-boggling.

To Sony. So they can use all his music in all their movies.
Born to run... to the bank. I gather we have never seen $500 million. Heck, I have never seen 500 million PESOS...

Assuming you mean the value, we have seen it before. The Beatles catalog is worth considerably more than that.
