For the first time, I commissioned cumtom-made suit from another tailor shop, not Sartoria Vanni which I used to order a suit.
The name of the store is 'Spolverino' I think a few of you guys living in Korea have heard of this shop.
(BTW, as you know, Spolverino is an italian word meaning 'a jacket or a coat which is made without lining or canvas'. However, the store 'Spolverino' does not produce 'Spolverino-ed' suits only. and my one is lined and canvassed. Spolverino-ed one's price is much higher than normal ones. Because it costs more fabric and they stitches much of that part(inside) by hand)
The store opened in Feb. this year and IMO, successfully positioned in the Korean high-price bespoke suit market. The representative director maps out the store's style, and the tailor(who is prominent figure in korean tailoring field) make it into a real piece. You can see their products at www.hanrhan.com if you also want to 'read', you better browse it with google translator.
Come back to the original subject,
Though this is the first order, as you see in the pictures, Fitting is very fine. There might be different preferences on their style, at least this is fairly nice in tailoring respect I think. Interesting feature about this suit is that the tailor used extended front dart style but not make side body and fore part into one-piece. I knew that they used to use extended front dart and one-piece front, but they use other technique on my suit. Full chested effect is observed and also fine handwork on padding stitch is also captured(I will post the completed suit when they finish. You will see the enormous handwork of theirs) The suit will be completed in this week, I'm so look for it.
* I forgot to take a picture of the back, it was clean. I will post the back picture when I received the completed suit.
Basted Fitting
Forward Fitting
