I've occasionally shared the article with friends who are frequent bespoke customers, and the women of their lives, and got almost universally bad feedback from both, much as I personally like the idea. Admittedly most were bankers.
Why the bad feedback?

Why the bad feedback?
Mostly a simple visceral negative reaction. "That looks awful" kind of thing. My guess is it doesn't look like a "proper" suit made of a smooth, lightweight worsted with clean lines. The cloth looks pretty thick and textured.

Pleeeease don’t pollute this threat of bespoke elegance with skimpy, ill-fitting RTW ?
Dear SKM is a pleasure to talk to you , these suits have a 50% manual work and a fabric qualitatively equal to bespoke suits , they are not bespoke but they are a nice example of Double Breasted Style.
I tried to give you an idea of how Belvest works.
if it's not to your liking i'm sorry, I'll post new double Breasted bespoke that you sure will like.

An absolute beauty from our private collection. Bespoke cashmere-Vicuna polo coat, made by the legendary tailoring house A. Caraceni. Probably the most beautiful piece of clothing I ever seen.
