Due to many happy customers from the first couple of GMTO sport coat runs, we're gearing up for another round. These are all fall/winter fabrics, as likely delivery would be in January. But I'll get a warm weather pool started soon too.

I photographed each of these with Rota medium gray flannel trousers underneath just for a color reference.

Subscribed as well.

What's the pricing? Any interest in peak lapel?

Pricing is surely a little higher on the cashmere ones of course, but it's easiest to figure out exactly what each will be once we've gauged interest. But we're looking at around $16-1700 unless some fabric turns out to be really expensive.

Peak lapel would probably be a tough sell on any of these fabrics IMHO.

Despite having an incoming moonbeam, I'd probably be in for a fabric order on 36664. I also really like the beige cashmere from Drapers, I just struggle with pairing light jackets.

Good stuff, excited to see what comes out for the summer list since the next thing I really need to get started on is a summer jacket.

@Newcomer since you broke NPC so hard, you should probably just step up to the plate and hit up the next Formosa Bespoke Trunk Show.

This one. Hands down.

PS: Closer look. If it wasn't for that thin dark divider pane. That looks like an afterthought and one pattern too many. Pity.

These are my favorites I think, which is good, because it looks as if no one else like them. :)

Unbel,
what is the number on the grey with blue windowpane Sherry Tweed? I think it would make a great sport coat, I know grey is tough and people don't like it but I like it.
