I'm biased because I have 1 jacket from the same Neapolitan tailor ;) but IMO while both look great on you, I do think the Neapolitan one looks better. If I had to give a (subjective) reason why, I guess it's the shoulder; the Florentine one droops a bit.- yanagi

Don't go (solely or even mainly) by price. Go by whether you like what they're making/what you're seeing on people actually wearing the finished suits etc. For what it's worth, I have jackets from Sartoria Tofani and Zizolfi and happily recommend both.- yanagi

Your jacket, your choice, of course; but IMO, I'd leave it be. I concur that it's a touch long. I just don't think it's worth the risk to mess with the length (UNLESS Maestra La Montagna herself agrees and does the shortening). I love the con rollino shoulders BTW.- yanagi

Genuardi made my wedding suit, which both my wife and I are very happy with. If you like what you see on his Instagram, I believe you'll be happy too.- yanagi

The reason I asked is that IMO, that photo and angle makes it fairly obvious that there's no shoulder padding in the jacket at all. So it's not "built-up." But at the same time, yes, the sleeve head is slightly roped. So it's not "soft" either. It is, however, Neapolitan because that's where...- yanagi

Do you consider these shoulders "soft," "bigger/built-up," or neither?- yanagi

Not 100% sure, but I think it's from the older Sopra Visso book, which had lighter weight worsted tweeds. The current Sopra Visso book has mid-weight plain weaves.- yanagi

Have you considered Joseph Genuardi (in Hoboken, NJ)? He made my wedding suit; and my wife and I both like it a lot. I have no experience with his overcoats, but here's an example:- yanagi

Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread
I have a DB in the Fresco 510244 and an SB in the Tropicalair 4612. The cloths themselves are both great; you can't go wrong with either. In terms of color, the 510244 is a conservative dark navy while the 4612 is a bright navy. I wore my 4612 to an NYC summer wedding last year. It was fairly...- yanagi

I have one ongoing project with Satoki Kawai/Sartoria Cresent, who'll be visiting NYC on June 23 and 24. It'll also be my last project with anyone for a while, so I'm looking forward to it.- yanagi

May I ask what made you disappointed with the Drapers' Monte Carlo? I've thought about the 30115 as it seems to be one of the very few dark, dark green jacketing cloths out there.- yanagi
