Love the peak lapel - makes it look very sophisticated. How's the fit?

Supremely elegant. Well done, surge! But be careful, it can be a horribly addictive.

What's the purpose of the string that's to the left of the buttons in that last picture along the seam? I don't think I've seen that done before.

It is a bar tack, done by hand. Can be done at the top of the sleeve vent like this or at the top of side vents. Sometimes on trouser pleats.

Hand detailing. Makes the finish a bit more "special".

Glad you gents are enjoying my photos. Foxx and Manton,yes indeed it is by Master Nicolosi. I've added a couple more photos of the suit during construction. I'll add more more when I get a good photo of myself wearing the suit. The pants are double reverse pleated and have a generous cuff (1 1/2in). The suits have double vents and the shoulders are totally unpadded. I'm not sure if they're really Neapolitean per se, but they certainly have the very high and tight armhole. The material is 13 oz Moxon Huddersfield super 120's, fairly light but still with a great hand.

Has noone else noticed the notch lapel tailcoat in the background? Not illegal, but IMHO rather dodgy...
