Yeah, I don't think people in my age group are too interested in bespoke... Most of my friends if given $3k-$5k will easily jump on Supreme, Gucci, Yeezy, or just weed.Looks good @Crispyj
I realize not everyone can keep bespoke alive these days, but it still makes me happy.
Hi David,
Don't you worry, I trust Frank's judgement. He had a bolt of Molloy x London Lounge Herringbone Donegal left which I swooped up. I'll trust Michael Alden's taste and color palette for cloth. Just got my muslin fitting. Had to fight tooth and nail to get him to lower the buttoning stance by an inch, but he agreed happily after taking a second look. He said I'll be clearing sidewalks with these shoulders ?

@DavidLane , have you ever seen Frank make a shoulder that isn't roped? I can't seem to find any of his work where he didn't make roped shoulders. He said ok to no roped shoulders when I mentioned I wasn't leaning towards that.
You can get a very clean back without it being super fitted. This is a drape cut.
I think the more important thing is how a jacket looks and feels in real life. Sometimes too much emphasis is put on still photos. I've seen Kotaro's work in person and it looks really good. Has a nice, youthful look to it without being too fashion forward.

This one is around 400grams I believe.That herringbone looks great! Do you recall how much it weighed, some of the LL stuff is a bit too heavy for me? I like things in the range 500g for tweeds and 300-400g for sportcoats/suits

Frank already has the second fitting almost completed. 4.5" lapels (I usually wear 38R)

He does "Skype Fittings" (he did a few for European customers). He gets some measurements/photos from me over Instagram dm and ships out the fittings to me. I live in NY state as well so shipping is still within 2-3 days. I think this is his preferred method right now.Where are you seeing Frank for appointments (meaning generally, not during shelter in time)? @Crispyj
