Interesting stuff, thanks for posting. I'd never heard of anyone doing that. Cool.

The fit of the suite looks good.

OP....mind letting me know the tailor you used? I looked though this thread but didn't see it. I am thinking of getting something bespoke in the near future, and would like to check this place out. The work looks fantastic.

One thing drives me crazy, Koreans make the pocket pipes on the bias. your jacket and trouser pockets have bias pipes.

Wow, you really have a hawk eye

bias but not considering matching pattern within making the pocket especially besom on the hip pockets is one problem of this and usual Korean suit.

and, yes, I requested the width of the breast pocket(both jacket and vest). though Vanni is connected with Italian shop, their standard width is rather slimmer. Try to make it more italian, I choose wider pocket width.

Yes, the same tailor.

I'll upload the photo of the inside later.

No, they only make bespoke.

I have a 3 year established relationship with my tailor.

Thanks! I will be giving those shops a look as I work near Gangnam and live near Myeong-dong.

Wonderful workmanship ho1joon. Beautifully done. I am envious. 'Yobo Saiyo' from Canada!

Details on the shoes also please?

Unbelievable looking suit, by any chance do you know if they do MTM. How much would a typical suit or blazer cost in USD?

You also have a good eye for details.

I don't care for the pipes to match, would prefer solid color and no stripe showing.

It looks very good, however I see no semblance of Tom Ford style.

 

[Toiletduck]

great stuff!

He seems to cut your chest pockets very high. But it looks great on you!

 

[pvrhye]

멋있어 dude. I might try to track those guys down if I ever come into some money.

+1

That's quite nice!

Jacket length is good for you, don't change it. You have long arms but the length works.

as far as I knew, some of korean tailors but not most of could make any thing you showed to them who were full of experience, industrious,careful enough.
