my visit to Napoli & Mina @ Napoli Su Misura

[sugarbutch]



I will soon have my third fitting. Im not entirely happy with the fit. Obviously the sleeves are way too short. Also not really happy with the flow in the midsection. Same goes for the thigh area, or the shelf in the back. The trousers are a bit too wide over the waist, which means that they fall down all the time so that there is too much break.

Would really appreciate your views and comments on other changes I should request. Thanks.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Did you ask for all of that waist suppression?

At the moment it looks like Thom Browne

Too much supression and I would like to see a higher roll.
The sleeves thing is just bizarre.

No. Whilst I like the Naples shape, this was not really what I had in mind.

I agree. I wanted to show about half an inch of shirt cuff or so. Hopefully it can be fixed.

What did you ask for, or were you hands-off?
You had a basted and a forward fitting already? Did it look OK at those stages?

Is that your natural stance? If so, your legs have an unusual shape.
That waist is quite special. Wow.
I am not a fan of the hovering trouser cuff(I don't want to see your sock when standing, really).
That and I realize you have no shoes on but they do not look too long.
The rear looks to have too much material. Or maybe your backside is shaped that way.

I probably was a bit too hands-off, as I really liked what I had seen from them before. I mentioned some of the points at the second meeting, but was told I should wear it for a while to decide on any changes for the third fitting.

Haha. Im not sure, but I think my legs have a pretty normal shape, so perhaps my stance is a bit odd

Im not unhappy with the length of the trousers, as I prefer minimum break. All opinions and personal taste of course. Agree about the rear part.

I was going to say the same about the pants length, good catch.

Looks like **** dude, I'd ask for a remake or a refund.

+1

 

[jbuffone]

That's awful. whnay is right. refund/restart.

 

[ThinkDerm]

wow.

 

[chogall]

+1 for remake. What happened at the basted fitting?

 

[bboysdontcryy]

That's very bad, and you seem to already knw the reasons why. Surprising however. What went wrong at the fitting stage? How hands-on were you? What was Mina's opinion when you put on this ... .suit product.
