Then that means the white DB the Sexton and the 6x1 DB Cifonelli.


I think the giveaway is that Sexton cuts a longer jacket than Cifonelli, and the cream DB looks longer (if you compare the distances from the sleeves to the hems on both jackets)

Not a bad thing, just slightly unusual for a contemporary Sexton jacket.
Ah, I see. I'm not familiar enough with his work to make the distinction. But it looks mighty fine to me.

He makes some of my favorite structured shoulder looks. He used to travel to the US, although I don't know if he still does.

Voxsartoria has some nice Edward Sexton images, including some from the Tommy Nutter days

Judging by the Rover in the background, those are some seriously old pictures. I am always impressed how you manage to find such stuff.

gold buttons 6x1 DB could not NOT be cifonelli
4x1 cream DB is very sexton
tux is liverano
one button is richard anderson.
Im not familiar with panico but from the photo angle the chalk stripe looks A&S which means the plain navy DB is panico. I have a feeling that I'm wrong.

Why did they do a mix of single and double breasted?

Makes it harder to discern the differences between the jackets

You guys are very close but have just two jackets swapped. Think of the most famous jackets made by each tailor you should get to the right answers.


Ah.

I mixed up Sexton and Cifo - which are definitely the two I'd get wrong.

Simon has some closeup photos on his blog. Really love that Panico and the Liverano.

As far as I know, the organizers didn't give the tailors any direction. My guess is that they just told each tailor to make something they thought represented their house well.
