Re: the LL brown linen, I changed my mind. I had my first fitting for a DB fresco suit and really, really liked the way it looked (it's my first DB), so will probably go that route with the linen too at a later date, once any kinks are ironed out.

Really nice coat, PSG. Looks good with denim, too.

Those were specific requests by me due to the heavy weight of the fabric and my desire to have a more vintage fit combined with their modern details.

i am a bit puzzled

When you referenced the forestiere I was expecting something fairly different.

It looks good but looks like a good sportscoat.

The forestiere inspiration was not the shape but the large scale herringbone fabric and the fact that it is the weight of forestiere outerwear. This is much heavier fabric than a typical NSM sportcoat.

Sator wears stuff like that as a 3pc double breasted in the summer. Keep up.

That may be, but had I left NSM to their typical cut, it would have been considerably shorter and much narrower in the shoulder. I don't think you can look at the photo of David Niven's vintage jacket (above) and say that someone would get that from NSM without quite a conversation. smile.gif

puzzled

she was nsm
his cut is classic
traditonal neapolitan
similar to what you

Yes, it was Volpe for a while, at least for the first 3-4 trips.

I like that jacket, PSG. I asked Dino and Mina to give me a slightly longer jacket and wider shoulders as well. I'm looking forward to see what they come up with.
