Can we get some immediate impressions. Rather curious.

I looked at the pictures before reading the article and I picked out the bespoke. This is what I noticed

1) The shoulders on your bespoke are cleaner and more flaterring. The low right shoulder is more conspicuous on the RTW and not noticeable on the bespoke.

2) The bespoke lapels and chest have a more rounded and cleaner shape.

"Comparisons between bespoke and ready-to-wear jackets are usually complicated by different makers, different fabrics, different wearers, and all manner of other variables that could matter [...] offers a rare opportunity to control for many of these confounds." --some #StyFoDude

Wish they came out to San Francisco. That jacket came out really nice.

unbel, that's a really nice jacket. I wonder if one might redo it as a second MTO next year. What was the final cost for the MTOers for that fabric?

One small thing, and I suspect it is the pic capturing the vicissitudes of how one stands, but the sleeve seems a bit cleaner in the RTW (at the back just off the shoulder).

Perhaps if you just pull down on the sleeve (a lot of cuff, so I suspect it might be caught higher on the arm leading to the wrinkling?).

I guess this tie doesn't get much love since it has been on sale forever, but it really is so much better than the "navy with beige and brown rings" description sounds. I'm also late to the Forest Green Rota party, but somehow my size was still available. And like everyone else said...Wow, those are soft.

 

[Murlsquirl]

I know I say I love all of my NMWA gear (I do), but I really really really love those pants.

That's a great jacket, Unbel. Formosa and Eidos fits me well enough that most people would say I don't need to go bespoke, but....I still plan on it. Just for the experience, if nothing else. YOLO, ya know.

Final cost was $1611. Can definitely do another run as soon as we have 8 people ready to order. Assuming there's still fabric available of course.

Yea, the sleeve length looks off on the bespoke in the frontal shot because the shirt sleeve got caught up somehow. You may be right about pulling on the jacket sleeve. Also the bespoke I've been wearing all morning (and all day yesterday), and sitting at my computer with arms out typing, whereas the RTW had just been hanging, never been worn. So that may add to some wrinkling on the bespoke.

That's true. Should we change it to "dark Zaffre blue with gold and tobacco loops"?

@gdl203 I think @in stitches inquired about an estimate cost for the Formosa Fox Chalkstripe GMTO, would you happen to know the general range?

Around $2,050-2,100 including cloth (after tailoring discount), and an extra $400-450 for the vest.

Thnx, man. Btw, the green twill are my go to casual pants these days. I too love them so hard.

Mine too. I wear them once a week.
