Personally I'd have gone without the roped shoulder; the cut is already quite aggressive so I think a roped shoulder as well is a bit too much. Then again, I'm not really a fan of roped shoulders in general.

Are you serious? Not sure we're looking at the same coat.

Where is all this love for Green coming from? That honestly looks like a rather ordinary MTM suit job. Shoulders are a bit much, length is too long and the pants look awful. More importantly, the silhouette is unimpressive, and the style boring.

I'm not impressed.

Camera angles can deceive, and although the jacket was ready to be broken in, this was its first wearing for feedback . . .

The rollino is mild to moderate, and will settle a bit after some wear. I love it.

Mozart? Wasn't he just some guy who just made noise?

BTW, this is the finished black brown odd jacket shown in post #15 of this thread.

The tie knot is also a carrot knot. Methinks me like the standard FIH better.

I think you have every reason to be confident in this suit. While it does suffer from being of an aesthetic that is contrary to the fashions of this moment, it is also a fine example of a aesthetic that never completely disappears. Nor should it.

I, for one, appreciate the stronger roped shoulder, angular aesthetic of an English suit. I say wear it few times, pull up your trousers a smidge before you photograph it again and you will find more love on here for this garment than this single pic generated.

In any case, I appreciate your absolute belief in your aesthetic. After all, wasn't Scarlotti just some Neopolitan who made some noise?

As I rarely wear an topcoat where I live, but instead layer more often, Mr. Green made for me a bespoke sport vest . . .

Cool. I think it might look more congruent with more casual jacket/suit, but it's possible you didn't have one with you at the time?

 

I'm curious have you used other bespoke tailors in NYC? If so, why do you prefer Green over the others?

^ Agree with your casual/casual pairing instead of my casual/formal pairing (the vest and suit just happened to come this past week for breaking-in wear).

I go to Mr. Green for his humility to his craft, his self-imposed fanatical bespoke standards, his eyes and their ability to make beautiful clothes that are specific to his clients.

I feel lucky that I don't have to try hard at all to be Mr. Green's client, things just happen spontaneously, and I am very satisfied with the end results. To that end I have not tried other NYC bespoke makers. While Mr. Green's operation is a "boutique" operation (where one person directs everything that goes into the garment), I am as satisfied with his products as I am with my John Lobb Paris bespoke shoes.

My wife, who often accompanies me to visit Mr. Green, has often mentioned, "Jon doesn't make you his suits, he makes you your suits (with his name on them).

I'm not saying this to be the standard SF critic, but a lot of your stuff from Green really doesn't look all that good to me. I understand the standard retort to this typically goes, "I'm happy with it and that's all that matters." And that is fair enough. Nonetheless, I would suggest that you give another reputable maker a shot, if only to get a sense of what else is available.

^ Of what I have seen, the only other bespoke maker that I would want to try is Liverano & Liverano.

Why waste time with Berluti, Corthay, Delos when JLP suffices?

I am wary of the "jack of all trades master of none" route, trying many bespoke makers once and having a bunch of nondescript clothing in my closet. It's not my intent in exploring bespoke clothing (see my sig). Maybe I will grow old one day.
