Ongoing Bespoke Projects

[stylz]

So how many tailors will you use and who do you think you’ll send the most commissions to? I really the look of the work that Sedat Selvi has done for you.

What fabric is the sports jacket you are wearing? Really like it!

He fixed the issues and I'm a happy camper. In the meantime he also completed a sportscoat project for me, which looks awesome. Will post pics in a bit.

So here is the "after" and "before" picture (sorry - reversed order).

looks way better but he still needs to fix your sleeve. either the pattern is skewed or something went wrong while attaching the sleeve

May be an artifact of how i was standing in this pic. Will check back. But yeah, looks way better.

The moon worsted wool and the deadstock gunclub look amazing.

I like your trousers, as well as your jackets and coats, but have you ever considered (discussed with your tailor) to make the hem 2,5cm/1inch wider?

Sorry for the late answer, but I might have discussed it a longer time ago (I dont really remember), but certainly not recently.

I’ve used Eric Jensen for a piece with another in the works and prefer a softer jacket. I’d really love to get a Florentine style jacket made.

Who are the better options that visit NYC or other US cities? I see Liverano has a trunk show at the Armoury soon but the cost and wait time is a tad intimidating. I’m in Houston but willing to make a weekend trip out of it.

Kotaro Miyahara and qemal selimi. Kotaro isn’t taking new clients until 2026. I’m not sure about qemal.

the other one is vittorio - I’m not sure where he’s traveling but I thought I saw he traveled to Los Angeles.

Cross post from the “Pink Sportcoat” thread:
This is from the Loro Piana Sunset book (about 50-50 cashmere and silk, I think?). I kind of wish I’d had it done up as a shawl lapel summer dinner jacket, but it will be great in its current form, too.

I'm wearing a 6x1 DB in Fox navy serge for the first time today. Weighs in at 18/19 oz. It's my heaviest suit. I LOVE this fabric. I wish Fox made it in charcoal or dove grey. I was a bit apprehensive at the weight of it but it's very comfortable and we're not even in the heart of winter yet. It's more wearable than heavyweight flannel.

Are you folks ordering extra pairs of trousers along with your suits?

Planning to commission a old piece of gray/green Irish linen for a suit (already have trousers made - it wears well as an odd pair)

But afraid if the trousers do end up giving up then I’m stuck with a gray jacket - was planning to make it as casual as possible - edge stitches, 3 patches but I’m still quite stuck if its worth it. Theres only 5m of it left (75cm wide) so only really enough for a jacket or 2 trousers..

you have to take into consideration that your linen will fade - for example - if you wear the suit a couple of times outside, the sun will do some work and the colour will fade - imagine your trouser bites the bullet - you'll have a faded jacket and an unfaded trouser

I'm not doing extra trousers anymore since I get my trousers cut generously

I thought we all have stupid large rotation so unless you exclusive wear one suit, it's going to take 10 year plus for things to go bad?

No. I think this is a throwback to when someone would have one or two suits that they would wear into the ground.

These 18 oz serge trousers will outlive me, probably.
