I have been on this board for a year and some months. The knowledge I have gained can't be measured. A thread was speaking about the different Savile Row tailors. This got me thinking about expanding this whole concept of silhouettes. Much have been spoken about the different cuts each brand and/or tailor has but no unifed post of this matter. If anyone can elaborate on the cut by brand/model/tailor, please add your comments. I think pictures side-by-side would really show for example, the shoulders, armhole, waist suppression, etc, basically the overall concept each of these different suits portray. What I want is when I go for custom, I can use these ideas to express what type of silhouette I am looking for. This idea behind this thread is to explain the different methodologies on creating a suit, how each would work on different physiques
Here are a examples of what I mean if I wasn't clear enough before:
Brioni: Some mentioned it has a cut that has the impression of "Don't f**k with me"
Oxxford: Old money look, less waist suppression.
Brooks Brothers, J Press, Southwick: Sack Suit, American cut, no waist supression.
Obviously, there is more to it then that, like the armholes, shoulders, waist supression, etc and how they work with each other to create a certain look.
