Damn.. that Ddugoff Philip jacket is looking amazing. My Ddugoff jacket from last season is my most complemented piece of outerwear. Pictures did not do it justice.

The most exciting drop of this season for me so far is the restock of the Frank Clegg signature duffle. It is finally on its way to me!

Sizing guidance

As a general rule, we caution anyone who has not had the chance to try on the Sartoria Formosa cut and size it properly, against ordering anything made to order. That said, if you want to go ahead and are not sure of your size, here is some general guidance & measurements (there will ALWAYS be some variation). In addition, we strongly suggest to engage in a sizing discussion here or in the No Man affiliate thread with other Formosa customers, as you will surely be able to get good feedback from others with a similar build

Pre-Order Pricing



We are offering a special price for pre-orders, through a 15% coupon (works only on these pre-orders) : enter PREORDER15 at checkout.

Note that the prices paid here for pre-orders are 50% of the total price. The balance is due when the garment is ready to ship.

Pre-Order Window


Pre-orders are open for one week only until April 9th. After that, we will send the group order to Sartoria Formosa so that they can start procuring fabric and cutting.


Delivery Window


The garments are expected to be finished and delivered to us throughout the months of September & October. We will endeavor to provide timing update as the production process advances.

Wow you did an excellent job with those SC choices

Wow you did an excellent job with those SC choices

Thanks. A little bit more sedate this time.

 

[unbelragazzo]

Covert twill, Fox glencheck and the grey Lamlana FTMFW IMHO

 

[ericgereghty]

@gdl203 great choices. out of curiosity, what would you envision pairing the grey SC with? I'd say navy pants (team navy trews FTW), but you've a far better eye for what actually looks good, so your input would be sweet.

 

[mockingboy]

Can you guys bring a 54R Sportcoat from Sartoria Formosa tomorrow to the Pop-up so I can try it on for size before making a Pre-order?

Thanks!

Mike

yup

The pop-up is right next door to our stock room, so we can grab anything anyone needs or wants to try on

Navy, lighter grey, darker grey, sand, cement, brown, denim, etc.... it's a running myth here on style forum that grey jackets are hard to pair. If you think about it rationally, the idea that grey pants/bottom are the most versatile color to match with almost any jacket/top is exactly antithetical to the idea that grey jackets/tops are hard to match. It makes no rational sense. Unfortunately, newcomers read this stuff in old threads and turn those opinions into their own, and it's a self-perpetuating canard.

You can even do super low contrast with two different greys of similar value, like this guy here:

 

[cdecoy]

To confirm, can one pre-order short lengths on the sport coats?

 

[gdl203]

To confirm, can one pre-order short lengths on the sport coats?

Yes.

 

[ericgereghty]

That super low contrast look doesn't do it for me, but your post is a major breath of fresh air. I (by no means a style expert lol) see so many of these rules, and cannot for the life of me understand why anyone adheres to them, or justifies them being considered as gospel.

Cheers
