    All good man, no harm taken at all, it's the interwebs after all haha I'm trying to step out of my conservative business dress comfort zone with colour and fabric but it's not working too well lol.

    I knew someone would pick me up on that, no.Thats not what I mean.I should put some punctuation in, was an early morning post lol.The pictures are my 3rd and 4th.He nailed it from the start but 2nd fittings this time are better as he gets more familiar with my body. Damn boy just made me re-edit...

    X-post from the dedicated thread Catching the maestro back in London. This is where it becomes the danger zone. 3rd/4th commissions and Kotaro-san has nailed it.The balance looking good. Another damn navy jacket!? 😂

    Catching the maestro back in London. This is where it becomes the danger zone. 3rd/4th commissions and Kotaro-san has nailed it with the 2nd fittings on these as he gets more familiar with my shape each time.The balance looking good. Another damn navy jacket!? 😂

    What do you mean extended shoulder or padding (see pic)? 😂 Sorry just in that kind of mood. Kotaro definitely puts a thin layer of something it seems, like @tim_horton said I wouldn't call it padding and I don't believe the maestro called it that when he was describing the jacket to me the other...

    I picked this jacket up last week, almost identical to what was posted (lol I actually think that's me now I looked at it more closely) Need new fit pics, just haven't had the chance yet.

    Sh#tloads!! Or my view was distorted through excitement - maybe he has all swatches of the stuff at the trunk shows (?)

    At the three trunk shows I've been to I never have much time to choose and usually follow this kind of thing. It did f@#k that strategy being in the atelier though lol Great to see proper rolls of cloth Vs swatch samples

    Uncomplicated, good food executed perfectly.Kotaro says this is a locals place. Usually known for the Florentine beef (pre book/order) - maybe my finale meal(!?)

    Based upon my base location it made total sense to make a trip to see Kotaro-san and during the last trunk the idea came up so here I am!Just as quick getting here than domestically to other parts of the UK. Very spoilt to be able to access so easily. A quick pit stop trip but I'll be back. Some...

    @GzianoCucinelli beat me to it We know Kotaro-san has stopped taking customers on/off over the years.Sadly this gap is a big one but biggest thing that sticks out is maintaining the standard/quality of work 👏

    Any One for a Scotch?

    So good, just wish the 15 was readily available but this will certainly do.

    I'm not a huge Mac fan, I'd probably pick the Glenroth

    I saw that swatch the day before but couldn't find it on Friday. Was side tracked and didn't check so will need to ask!

    Maestro "are you free tomorrow to come again" Without hesitation "yes Maestro" In again with Kotaro today, modifications to yesterdays fit and immediately noticeable. Picked out a gray for conservative business dress work suit. Something he called serge (and I don't meant the guy that sits opposite me at work 😁)

    London. First fitting.Had more time with Kotaro than the first meeting and a much more relaxed vibe this time round. Tried on the maestro's doppio uso which fitted me pretty well.Beautiful coat and tempting haha Picked out a grey sharkskin for another conservative business dress suit only to find it's really similar to...

    This thread only gets better when people post photos!I am not sure of anywhere else apart from Kotaro's own IG feed of where we can reference/learn and talk about his garments. Keep it up! 👍
