I checked the accounts of Liverano for 2023, which are not under their real name so a tad convoluted. The margins are surprisingly low, so even though Veblen may be what happens at revenue level, at the end they need such ridiculous high pricing to survive. For your reference, in 2023 they made only 18'000 EUR profit, down from 30'000 EUR of 2022.

It is a very low number at a headline level indeed. Is the net profit after paying themselves? and if so, how much?

Can be a convoluted business structure, like in Hollywood

that or underreporting to avoid taxation like all of us...?

Vittorio Salino tweed jacket.

I prefer bolder and more colouful tweed patterns, but a grey herringbone donegal is certainly very versatile. I don't like to see a tee peeking under the shirt.

I’m not sure what it is, but those shoulder look sad to me. Sadder than other Florentine tailors.

I agree. This does nothing for me and I'd say I usually like about 85% of Simon's looks.

Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

Looks like a Florentine Ivy sack jacket, which is kind of cool to me.

Simon has a very sloped shoulders, so a jacked with unconstructed shoulders looks sad 🤷

Boola Boola! I didn't go to Yale, but was at another Ivy school- Cornell
during the heyday. Except for the patch pockets and slightly wider lapel
it looks identical the mid-century Ivy style.

What are the odds that he really gained weight?

It can also be, we will see because I’m sure he will have Vittorio take it in.

I would place it a few decades earlier:

Yes, the silhouette does not look good, the pronounced sloping shoulders together with the sack shape, with minimal waist suppression, combine for a rather unflattering look.

 

[te0o]

Having seen that jacket worn in person, I’d say it did look rather good, in terms of overall fit, proportions and choice of cloth. The lack of waist suppression wasn’t something I noticed but I agree that may be something to tweak based on these photos.
