haha, yeah will have to see how this looks with solid brown jacket first, thought it might take a solid tie. saw a mannequin in the store with a similar shirt, sportcoat, trousers, and a tie-- very Italian,but not sure if I could pull it off

But do you really want to wear a tie with that shirt?

Italians do not actually dress like that, just Kiton mannequins.

that reminds me, i almost always like how the mannequins in the RL store in chevy chase look. makes me want to buy stuff. so, great success on their part.

Man I wish I could try the Inglese shirts but I'd have to lop off like 2.5" from the sleeve, which would really make the sleeve gauntlet look weird. I did pull the trigger on a Mazzarelli and will report back when I get it.

Greg's very persuasive on the Rotas, but the smallest waist available is 32.7". Not sure how that translates to a body with current true waist around 29.5". I may give them a shot some time down the road. Getting a cheap pair of Incotex to try first.

usually you can take in a waist 2.5 inches or so without a problem

You could shorten from the top but your tailor might not be able to replicate their work putting the shoulder back together that well, idk.

you can have your tailor move the gauntlet

That too. But then you might have to worry about button placement.

I wonder if I could squeeze into a 56 in the consentino coat, being a 56L?
Is it worth a try?
Will I keep it even if it doesnt fit, just so i can touch it?

Or try washing your arms and throwing them in the dryer.

You need to measure trousers that fit well (if possible comparable ones like slim flat fronts), not your true waist. If only for the reason that these don't sit at the true waist.

Somehow I knew you would be a bad influence.

Don't be discouraged by the sleeve length measurements of the G.Inglese. FWIW, I bought a Mazzarelli and a G.Inglese in the same size (15/38) and the G.Inglese sleeves end up shorter than the Mazzarelli. This is due to a narrower shoulder on the G.Inglese.
