I was at the G&G reception on May 9 with the crew from Chittleborough. Most everyone was elegantly turned out with the noticeable exception of that magician hired for the evening. Totally random, but he had a 10 min up-close routine which was actually quite impressive.

Cool. Now it makes sense that he's a magician. I wonder if they'll do something similar at the NYC event.

Very interesting to see what's happening outside of Paris. Thank you, more pics if you can ! Merci


After few months, I just finish today my new video on Japanese bespoke shoemaker Yasuhiro Shiota for French House, Aubercy.


I hope you will like it ! ; )

I really love reading this thread as I have never been exposed to French tailoring and am now completely smitten with the fishmouth lapel. Getting a suit done at Camps, Cifo or Smalto is out of the question, too rich for my blood. So I did the next best thing and had my tailor in Hong Kong make a copy from pictures on this thread.

Had my first fitting yesterday, but from the photo you can't really see the fishmouth lapels, I am a bit worried that they might get the collar wrong (not lapel) as it is somewhat larger than usual.

Will post pics when it's done.

I feel for you. I have gone down that route a number of times, even giving my Hong Kong tailor the actual original Camps or Smalto jackets to copy, but it never works out to be just perfect, frustratingly. So I can only guess how approximate it will be if they must cut a copy just based on a photograph. Interesting experiment, I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Question for Cifo's American customers - do they carry the completed suits with them, or does one have to pick it up in Paris or have it mailed (thereby incurring American customs charges)?
