Also found this promotional video. It seems to show the Platonic ideal of what MTM should be like, but isn't actually found in nature:

hey guys, does anyone know knitwear brands with a contemporary/modern style? There's probably a better adjective, but I'm thinking Yashiki, for example. Love Yashiki's style, but they're hard to find and haven't found something similar

Has anybody here ever tried Armani's MTM service? Genuinely curious as to the quality/fit.

why bother, I assume *Armani isn't going to be cheap, if its aesthetic please you and is unique then go for it, else don't bother

Pricing varies, but about $4k USD for a full canvass suit in a starter fabric. I went in-store today to take a look, and some of the tailoring is nice, but nothing to write home about. Tonnes of swatches, but the colours were pretty muted.

I spoke to a sales rep, and they're hosting Armani's 'Master Tailor' at the four seasons for a MTM event. I've decided it's not for me.

I will be doing another MTM commission this season, and I've narrowed it down to Canali or RLPL. Will let you all know how it goes.

I wish to see more often such a stunning silhouette, instead of those ridiculously skinny trousers.

Trousers maybe a bit excessive? A little too 1940?

I love them. Of course on the wide side, but so much better than the skimpy ones so often seen nowadays, resembling women leggings.

For flared I can go wide for straight I don’t think I can go anywhere beyond 8.25-8.5in on size 30, these would be like 9.75 in my size?

The whole outfit/silhouette looks off balance & bottom heavy

 

[clee1982]

I think it looks pretty good just definitely not for me, my father is shorter than I’m but that’s how he wear his trouser too, I think we definitely get used to whatever recent trend on our respective era

Looks like something Hillary Clinton would wear.

Hillary was really into those poncho looking dresses.

This one, more conventional, will appeal to the most, I think. Tapered trousers provide of course a different and more usual silhouette, still retaining a lot of room.

Looks good, but I agree with the other comments that it's a tad too wide. But looks better than the super tight aesthetic.
