speaking of leder is there an fw leder delivery coming?

 

[Riva]

It's unfortunate none of the items from the 20% sale are available anymore. There are some gems in that batch like the Bonastre bags that I'd like to get more of.

Valstarino MTO finally arrived. This is truly awesomeness level 1000! Camera's a bit fuzzy and doesn't show the dual matte + shiny buttons which is a nice accent.

The weather turned this week in CO, which means that I finally get to wear this awesome cowichan again. Worn with Niche patchwork jeans.

Greg/Kyle/Gang,

What pants (if any) will you be stocking from Monitaly this F/W?

Yes, a lot of great stuff.
Slated for October 6th

@Riva Valstar will want that photo for its lookbook. That's a great fit.

Thanks. I think I'm in the same position as others for this particular MTO batch. My usual comfortable size for Valstarino fabric is 44 but this one is tight on the chest but still wearable. Probably should settle for a 46 for a more relaxed fit but 44 looks way nicer. So many compliments within the 8 hours in the office today.

These are a great side by side of NoMan CM Cas and SWD.

Simon at permanent style with a write up on Formosa, interesting for this crowd in that the pictures show the batch of jackets commissioned by Greg and ordered/worn/loved by all of us.

I think he's working on my pre-order...

 

[FrankCowperwood]

Maybe not the best press for Formosa.

I feel like the RTW and MTO jackets we see here from NMWA look very nice on people, so I'm not sure how a bespoke jacket got what appears to be so far off course over several fittings.

 

[DLJr]

Agreed.

 

[gdl203]

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised. If you aren't measured and fitted by either Antonio or Dionisio, I just wouldn't do it. It's too much money to serve as training material for the younger guys there.

 

[FrankCowperwood]

I guess he needs to report on the process in order to have something to write about and maybe he really does need MTO, but you just have to flip through this thread to see so many beautiful, nicely fitting jackets.

 

[Newcomer]

I thought that the following pictures were certainly... concerning.

However, I have seen DLJr's bespoke Formosa (as well as plenty of others), and they do not look anything like this. This doesn't look anything like the innumerable examples I have seen on this thread alone.

Very strange, because this seems highly anomalous.
