Solito Thread - Page 6

That Solito, he's a true artist. His SBs on you are as great as that DB by the obscure British tailor you once showed, especially the sleeves. Just curious, how wide is that breast welt? 1.25 inches? 1.5? It's the only thing that [just my opinion OK?] distracts from the great shaping, proportioning, and unobtrusively and coherently made coat. It is as if Signore Solito expects you to to have flowing and flaring pocket pouffs rather than polite folds. - M

The new Solito stuff looks wonderful, Manton. Thanks for posting it. I really like that combo above too. FWIW, here's a pic of a fresco suit w/ off-white sleeve lining shimmering through. A darker lining would have been better:

It is a great suit very nice

I don't see a problem at all. Lining the sleeves is defeating of the purpose of using fresco in the first place.

Not really. Most of your body heat is going come from your torso, not your arms. Leaving the body unlined makes sense but I think you can go either way with the sleeves.

Wow - amazing tie. Brand?

Manton...have you finally cleared out your unfunded liabilities?

Veddy nice. I'll look through Mina's swatches for this one.

Dude, whoever picked that out has extraordinary taste.
