Hey guys,

I see that the Formosa suits are hand made. What manufacturer would you compare the quality to?

Brioni? Zegna Couture? Isaia?

I don't own all of those, but I have at least tried them all on. In my opinion, leaps and bounds above Zenga and Isaia. Even without taking into consideration the wonderful fabric Formosa uses, the construction and cut is just amazing. I don't know how else to put it. Afreakinmazing.

hard to compare fabrics as so many makers use so many different fabrics.

construction wise i would compare to attolini. very similar in fact based on what i have seen from both.

as noted by murl, afreakinmazing is a good way to put it.

In the RTW universe, Attolini or kiton maybe?
Really like the polo Kamoshita is wearing in that vid--collar, placket, sleeve. Anyone know where to find one like that? Sorta ban lon style but not polyester? (I also like that quotation, on how he appreciates being corrected by a mentor)
His own. I think Barney's had it last summer in a couple colors

Hey, we deserve some credit for the choice of fabrics !

We carefully picked every single fabric out of the tailor bunches - so we're pretty happy that they all came out really nicely.

Oh no, now you know who I am :hide:

It looks very cool! Hope I sized right, got impatient waiting for measurements, but I'm about a 40 and slightly loose is better than too tight so seems consistent with your post above. Is all the schneider up now? That one coat looks awesome, but don't have 800 to drop right now :)
