Please Critique My Blazer

[Prince]

Jacket looks perfect; as does the whole ensemble. Reminds me to get a white pants.

 

[WBaker]

This makes me want to scrap all of my current jackets, as sadly none are to this level of perfection. Fantastic job.

 

[waltwhitman]

WOW. This is a great fit. Where did you get this made?

 

[a tailor]

looks good.
how about aside and a back view.

 

[Parker]

Looks great. Your tailor did a nice job.

 

[Bull]

Flawless!

Is it because of the silver buttons?

This is the type of fit that most people aspire for but never achieve.

Looks great, excellent drape, fit is fantastic.

On a side note, do you mind telling me the name and location of your tailor? The reason why I ask is that I'll be visiting Seoul for two weeks in August and I'm looking to get a MTM suit while I'm there.

(In the event that I erroneously assumed that your tailor is in Seoul or nearby in Kyung Gi Do, I apologise)

Can you tell us who the tailor was and what price range they operate in?[/quote]

Thank you guys, Mine was made by "Sartoria Vanni" in Kangnam, Seoul, Korea.
The map is here, see the below picture(notice they are written in korean); http://www.vanni.co.kr/html/cs/location.php

3. On the fit: the lapel width is "conservative" but I feel you will do better with a slimmer lapel width. Also, the tie is WAY too wide for you. Again, I feel you will look better with a slimmer tie width of 3 inches or less, certainly no wider than 3.5". You may want to try a 3/2 since the top button appears slightly higher, lengthening the suit a bit, as your tailor/cutter really sticked to the traditional American blazer pattern (blazer=shorter than suit coat).
4. The buttons are a little overkill. Just because you want a "blazer" doesn't mean it has to have super contrasting buttons, especially given the conservative color of the swatch. I will go for a lighter grey bone buttons or some shiny brass to give more cosmopolitan nuance to the look.
5. 8.9/10 on the whole look.


Thank you for your valuable advice. I think I should change the buttons as you said.

To the rest, and this is by no means a criticism but more of a query, how much higher / smaller can the armhole go?

I prefer the small armholes, unless It makes inconveience for moving arms.

Love the blazer.

Also looking to commision a navy blazer for myself.

Noticed the fabric is scabal, about how much is the fabric and is it a pure wool blend?


Thanks

Your tailor totally nailed it. Yes, i see some nitpicking by other forumers re buttoning point, but this is by faaaaaaaaaaaaar the best "critique my outfit" post ever!!

Funny thing is, the typical critics who come out in droves havent shown up yet to compliment a great fit. One of the mysteries of SF!!

OP - also nice of you to freely share your tailor information. You are a good sartorialist. Btw, was this your first commission from the tailor, and how much input did you have in the process?

 

[Hard2Fit]

Very nice.

I think the buttons look quite fun, and in my opinion are keepers.
