I certainly think the button stance needs to be adjusted just a tad. However, I'm trying to weigh adjusting the gorge, lowering the button stance, and / or shortening the jacket by 1/2". Probably some combination of the three...


It is quite high like my Partenopea suit. I think it looks good in the moment, but who knows what I'd think 7 years from now

I actually just finished emailing them back after receiving notification on Monday. I plan on dropping by the shop tomorrow. I'll be posting the pics in my full review (which will go up tomorrow, if everything looks good).

I ended up moving the button stance down about one inch. Also sounds like the gorge was slightly lowered as well. Plenty of pics to follow, once it looks good!

Yeah, I thought button stance could definitely be lowered, but gorge looked good but was your preference obviously

. A low gorge, however, just looks dated.
