I know tuxs are 10% more charged. It might be wrong because I haven't tried tux.

+2, exactly.

Nice shoes, by the way. The trousers are a bit on the short side for me. I know this is very popular in certain circles, but I prefer them a tad longer.

Cheers from Seoul to Seoul

Hello, Mr.Zimmermann. First of all, Thank you for introducing G&G and VASS in Korea. Last year at least, I 100% didn't expected those shoemakers launch in this country(so I bought them from online and personal contact). and see how wonderful the price is

, I was far as to fowardly worried about your profit once because the price was too low in my opinion. I'm looking foward to visit your store right after my exam. and the Seoul meeting too, although I can't speak english fluently.

about Sartoria Vanni. see this link;http://www.vanni.co.kr/html/cs/location.php
I think it's not bad to accompany with me if you're not fluent speaker of Korean.

If the OP were fat, I guarantee there would be less admiration for the suit. I've noticed the slimmer one is, the better any suit looks.

Hedi Slimane & Karl Lagerfield agree.

Basically, if you're in shape and the suit follows your shape, more power to you. If you aren't, it's best to let a suit suggest a better shape for you.

Fit guys have a lot to lose with a poorly fitted suit, whereas dumpy dudes like myself have a lot to gain from a well fitted suit.

Yup. I'd look like an elephant in a girdle in something like that, but more power to anyone who can pull it off.

Will it be possible to post a photograph of the inside of the jacket showing pockets and other features?

안녕하세요 ho1joon님 ㅋㅋ

Please call me Reto.

Thank you for your kind words. I don't want to derail your thread but let me just say about the pricing: We're trying as much as possible to have European prices because other than shipping and import duties I don't see any good reason why the shoes should be more expensive without giving the customer any added benefit. Everybody here (in Korea, not SF ;-) ) has just got so used to beeing overcharged that "normal" prices are a total surprise. In any case, I'm happy to talk more about this and anything else in person.

Thank you also for the offer to accompany me to your tailor. I've just had an odd jacket made so I'm not immediately jumping into something new but I'd be interested to tag along when you go. Well actually, I need to correct myself here. I'm about to have a pair of odd trousers made for the jacket but the tailor on that is already chosen.

All the best with your exam and see you soon!

Thank you.

The careful attention to detail is emphasised in the additional pictures - the lining on the edge of the cuff for example.

Is there just one pocket on the inside right of the coat? On that thought is there a fob/watch pocket in the trousers?

This really is a good suit and which suits you well. Hopefully you will be able to add more to your wardrobe in the future.

Did not know you were carrying those lines, and it sounds like your pricing logic is admirable.

I'll be down for a pair of shoes soon.

I am gonna go down to this Vanni place next week and see what I can whip up for a half stack. Kind of pissed at my regular tailor because the suits he's made me the last two times have sucked and like everyone else he refuses to go back and fix anything.

OP, very nice fit from a SF perspective. The downside is the nice fit makes it look a bit feminine - reference picture # 4...

Also not sure if there was a point to take out your face in all pictures, expect one of them.
