The Least Official Natalino Appreciation Thread
I wonder about this general march towards high armholes as well. Whatever is theoretically gained in mobility with high armholes I have yet to experience, but to the contrary this is my most re-experienced issue with fits (tightness in armholes, lats, delts, etc). I wonder if high armholes are...- Rafsan

As another daya As another data point, I took my first try at a natalino sport coat this season with the black linen sc. I’m usually a 42short, so I expected the jacket to be on the long end (which it was), but I was surprised at how slim the arms on the coat were. Shoulders didn’t fit either...- Rafsan

Back rise is a definite issue in the SM pattern. Thanks for these comparison pics. I was really glad to see Natalino revert to the roomier pattern this season.- Rafsan

I don’t own anything from suit supply, so can’t compare there. I find natalino trousers to be roomy, in a good way. About as close to an actual high rise cut as I’ve found . My main point of comparison is spier and Mackay’s “high rise” cut, which I find to be inferior to natalinos pattern.- Rafsan

I have a pair in charcoal on order, so can’t comment on the specific pair yet, but I find charcoal to be just as versatile as light/mid-grey, I’d even say I prefer the charcoal given my general lean towards darker colors. May depend on what else is in your wardrobe, and whether your items are...- Rafsan

I wanted to give psa on this gem of a jacket from Bottoli in wool/silk/hemp. Great pick by SM. Cloth is great, substantial yet feels light. Don’t sleep!- Rafsan

The VBC 4-ply in MTO is listed at 270g, that doesn’t seem right. Seems that it’s either not 4ply, or the weight is listed incorrectly. Any idea which is correct or needs to be corrected? Edit- I have be rtw trousers that were offered in 4ply recently, those were listed at 410g- Rafsan

The Least Official Natalino Appreciation Thread
the trimming they did on last seasons trousers was a no-go for me, I saw the new size charts and emailed them this morning. They confirmed that the trouser pattern was reverted back to the pre-trim pattern of last season. I’ve found this previous pattern was much more roomy and comfortable than...- Rafsan

How did it perform in the heat? I have my eye on this SC, but would be interested to know if it puts up even a decent performance in warmer weather- Rafsan
