Evening Revolution Suits

This is not really a new product as it was released about a month ago, but Shiryu Musashi contacted me last night and asked if I would take a look. As mentioned in a previous post, I am not really a suit wearing guy in SL or in RL, but I am always interested in quality products.

First off let me say this is a HUGE set for L$550 with enough options in the one package to cover just about any need. Basically there are 3 suit colors (black, gray, and dark blue), each with 2 belt colors (black, and brown). Then there are a whole slew of shirt colors, from basic white to muted pastels to full saturated colors. The best part however may be the flexiprim ties, of which again there is a large selection. They take a little adjustment of course (try rotating them a little first), but the movement is subtle and has a nice effect.
I tried some combinations on and really felt sharp. I even walked around the rest of the night wearing a suit, oozing power and refinement. The details are hand-painted and very well done. I love the crease and higlight on the pants, although the crease might be just a bit heavy. My only other comment is that the highlight gradient on the solid color ties has too much contrast and made it look like a vertical stripe, although it looks good on the striped ties.

I don’t know enough about suits in general to talk about cuts, lapels, or cuffs, but I thought overall they are an excellent value for very high quality work with lots of choices. Check out the forum post for a full list of the colors and styles included.

You can pick them up at the Musashi-Do Fashion shop or on SLBoutique.
