Solbiati linen, made up by Formosa. It’s a heavier linen but has a really nice texture.

this is great! mto?

A few tweaks to the standard pattern. I wish a true MTM/bespoke appointment were geographically convenient.

I think PRT asked this already but I didn’t see an answer; are the black pampa jeans a slim/skinny fit or are they fairly relaxed?
And since they are Levi’s should you buy your normal size I still size up 1 like other Niche things?
Thanks, I need some black denim

Posted this in Unfunded Liabilities but was told to inquire here:

I scored a RTW Formosa suit off eBay in navy birdseye, and comparing the photo to NMWA site, I believe it must be this suit made up in a lanificio drago cloth: http://www.nomanwalksalone.com/index.php/navy-birdseye-single-breasted-suit-11-12oz-wool-969.html
(I've attached photo of cloth label from the suit)

The jacket fits great but the pants are just too small in the thigh. The suit is totally new and never worn, so I would love to purchase the same fabric and have pants made up to complete the suit.

How would I go about buying this fabric? I went to Drago's website but it was not helpful, and NMWA lists the weight but no model number or anything.

I’m not trying to deprive NMWA of business, just trying to make the most of this find. As such, would be totally willing to buy these trousers from NMWA, if that’s an option.

Please advise!

anyone has sizing experience with Scye peak lapel grey jacket, looks like it's uber tight and short, I'm 36, but based on measurement I would say you can 38 or 40?

No one?

No one?

When local brick and mortar is actually missed...

That version was before we started to use the Drago birdseye.

That label is from Carnet and that cloth was discontinued a while ago.

Also, different batches of the same cloth have different shades and finishes so it’s not advisable to match new trousers like that.

What is the tag size inside the pants?

 

[gdl203]

No one?

Rely on measurements, not tagged size.

Or come in to try it on?

@gdl203 - this is really ahead of schedule but about when do you guys do spring preorders. Saw a few really nice Schneider things and was curious

The pants just have a blank Formosa tag, but the jacket tag says tg. 52 drop 7.

The pants measure to about a 32” waist, with about an inch of room to let out, but the thigh width measured at the crotch seam is 21.25”, so very slim.

I’m a 33.5 waist with a 23” thigh

Can someone help me with sizing for Inglese? I wear a Formosa 50R. The three Inglese shirts that I do have are size 40. I think I need to go at least 42 or something.

 

[gdl203]

Where is it tight/small? If you need the next size up, that would be 41 (not 42)

Thanks for your response.
I'll try to post a picture but I'll use the drawing below to explain better.
I think the shirts are now fitting like the drawing on the right, meaning small at the shoulders but they're not tight or pulling.
But the odd thing is that the sleeves are perfect. The neck is perfect. The chest and waist is fine.
Maybe I can go 41 or 42 and just shorten the sleeves.

That diagram is not relevant to how G. Inglese shirts are constructed. The seam should NOT reach the end of the shoulder on a G. Inglese shirt. It is constructed with a rounded sleevehead that is supposed to drape over the top of the humerus to provide maximum comfort and mobility (the entire arm is inside the sleeve). On a properly fitting G. Inglese shirt, the seam sits around the acromion (end of the clavicle)

Essentially, the shirts panels, sleeves and sleevehead are constructed so that the seam falls pretty much where it is on your right diagram, yet not pull anywhere and be comfortable throughout the arm and armhole.

Ha, I need a Grey’s Anatomy just to follow this thread.
