    I’ve tried on the grey one at the rive gauche store. The fit seemed consistent with their sizing. I did notice that the buttoning point was relatively high, or at least the skirt below the buttoning point felt long, which I thought was was a plus for me if I ever needed to chop some centimeters...

    Been a while since I’ve posted something here, lately all my attention has been focused on work and a new puppy that’s been quite a handful. I’m writing this now from the back of a taxi on the way to the airport, which seems to be the best place to catch up on the forums. It’s nice to see all...

    Glad to hear about everyone's new MTO commissions, and that Gauthier is still able to help people out, he's been sorely missed at the shop but he's planning to do something exciting on his own for this year so I wish him the best. I also find this combination of the single-breasted peak lapel...

    This is nice, the combination reminds me of something you would see in 60’s Vogue Homme. Yesterday I had the chance to see a preview of what I believe is the next F/W season (Fall-winter ‘23), and I think far and away the best and most comprehensive RTW collection Husbands has done so far. I...

    Wow that is large. The small one is definitely like mine though, and is likely the Naples factory. Yes I don't think they bring it out much, but as we were looking for something super specific for a beach wedding, it came out of a drawer and my brother fell in love with the fabric.

    Have been back in SE Asia for the last couple of weeks for my brother's wedding so I thought I'd update. It was a beautiful ceremony and was finally able to see him in his wedding suit. For those who missed the first post about it, it's an MTO suit, Morrissey jacket and Delon trousers, in a...

    This is utterly fantastic. I remember when you had brought up this idea some time ago and I imagined it would look quite nice, but it truly is the Platonic ideal of a raglan overcoat, at least to me. The large herringbone donegal is the perfect coat fabric, but I always thought the Permanent...

    Perhaps I spoke too soon, this Wiltern collection was great, though it's a bit telling that the menswear looks are presented in a women's collection. And perhaps it's a bit too early to go back to skinny low-rise jeans for now but it's a refreshing return to form for the brand, welcome back...

    Yeah that sounds about right, +/- 0.5cm in the width for that lapel. I haven’t confirmed this as the model names are never actually brought up when I discussed the options available for a special order, just whether to go with the narrow or wider lapels. But going by what they’ve said about not...

    I was under the impression there were 3 widths to single breasted jackets, the narrow notch, the medium-wide notch, and the widest which is a peak lapel. I don't think I've seen a lapel wider than the medium-wide 11cm one. I think breakaway's measurement is not standard way of measuring (across...

    Igor is a good dude, he doesn't speak much English and my French isn't perfect so I feel like we've had some funny conversations but he goes easy on me. Anyway I think what he meant to say was "Col moyen large" which is literally medium wide collar, but "col" also sounds like "colle" which means...

    I say go for it, I don't think you'll be disappointed. And if you're feel a little rakish, you could instead go for a single button peak lapel or a full on wide lapel double breasted. Those were my two other ideas, and part of me regrets playing it safe with the single breasted notch. There's an...

    I actually decided to wear the jacket today, so if it looks like this then it’s the Caccioppoli. Plush 100% cotton, no stretch, perfect for the fall. The one caveat for me is except for the silkiest linings, the corduroy catches in the sleeves when I put on an overcoat, like the Barbour I’m...

    If it’s the same thin rib Caccioppoli that I’m thinking of, then that fabric is indeed gorgeous. So much so that I had an entire suit made in that black corduroy. And I’m thinking now if I should get a waistcoat made up for it as well, like what merkwerdigliebe had done.

    Very interesting, thanks for this. I’ve felt the heavier Minnis Frescos in a fabric book before but its nothing like owning and living in the actual garment, so this breakdown is really helpful. Especially how you described it as a better polyester, I feel like I know exactly what you’re talking...

    Interesting to see that the last two buttons come unfinished now, I remember some time back bringing this up to some of the staff regarsing some of the comments on here about shortening sleeves. Maybe it was something Matches had requested as well based on their customers. I really love that...

    It’s a bit unfortunate to hear about some of you guys’ online experience. I guess I take it for granted that when they’re slow to reply to an email I can just pop into the shop and ask in person. From the conversations I’ve had with guys from the team, the in-person experience has always been...

    Lol unfortunately no, but I do know who you are talking about. I’m not French, but my wife is. And my Instagram doesn’t have any pictures of me, only my work.

    I haven’t posted in this thread for a while, but I do check to see what’s going on from time to time out of some nostalgia. And since someone brought up Husbands I thought I would chime in. I have completely moved on from Celine 100%, and have been enjoying my pieces from Husbands immensely...

    Saw some pieces from the fall collection today, they did not disappoint— it’s definitely more of what we all love from the brand. The velvet blazers were especially sumptuous, as was the navy cashmere overcoat. I was also able to have a peak at the new boutique in Saint Germain de Près, a...
