Do people actually like pick stitching?

sgplayer69 · 10-04-2012, 03:19 AM

So in my search for a new suit, I noticed that a huge amount of suits have pick stitching. I absolutely hate it, I think it makes the suit like it's from a bargain bin basement. Does anyone actually like that style?

Absolutely hate it. Looks cheap and ugly.

Where are you shopping?

VaderDave · 10-04-2012, 12:41 PM

I'm not a fan.

Depends on the suit, material, color, and cut
And also how noticeably it is done
Instead of pick stitching done just to be pick stitching
I prefer the hand stitching that shows up just a bit

CJPatel · 10-05-2012, 09:16 AM

Sometimes there is just a hint of thread on the top side of the stitch:

I have a black suit that has pin stitching. I like it. I think cheap suits that try to pull it off look really bad, but on a nicer jacket it looks fine.

you ****heads not posting pics are making me go to google now.

Like this but some are more extreme than others.

CoconutPete · 10-05-2012, 03:46 PM

Makes the suit look home made.

pancakes · 10-05-2012, 04:46 PM

I had to look it up, but that looks horrible.

dwass325 · 10-05-2012, 04:48 PM

Hand stitching that shows up looks amazing. Fake pick stitching looks awful.

Also, black suits are for funerals and the help.

I've seen some pictures on style blogs of high-end hand-stitched suits and pants that I thought looked terrible. It's cool that your suit was made entirely by hand, but if the stitching isn't even it makes me have OCD sobbing fits.

Really now...?

badfast · 10-05-2012, 08:51 PM

I like it. Well only on certain colors. I have it on a grey suit, but think it would good on a Khaki suit.

Yes. Tuxedos are exempt from this, but black is a poor choice. Navy and charcoal/gray are infinitely better choices.

Black is also good for priests, but I doubt we have many here.

I agree. I went for an interview at an IB the other day and another kid interviewing was wearing a black suit. I wished him well.

"Their" is a possessive pronoun. In a phrase like “Susan and Bill's car,” it could be used to to make a new phrase: “their car.” ”They're” is a contraction of “they are.” “They are” should always be able to replace “they're.” ----------- Extra Credit: It's "I'm looking for an M3" not "I'm looking for a M3". -----------
