Dear Gentlepersons,
I'd like to introduce to new jackets these are tailored in S, Korea. Following tailors and one of my friends, i've moved.
First of all, sorry for the bad exposure and photo angles.

I've had a suit and a jacket made. One of them was made of Scabal's fabric(The Royal 100s), another jacket made of Schofield&Smith's jacketing fabric.
I think that new well-planned wardrobe suits my skin tone, shows of my figure and coordinates well.

Please Criticize of the jacket.
THX

I am sure there is room for critique, but I like them, especially #2. Well done :fonz:

There's nothing to critique about the second jacket, except for maybe the ****** on the back.

There's something a bit odd about the lapels as well, seems to have some extra appendages.

Both are beautiful. I love the second in particular.

All I want to say is congratulation.

But can you fold your PS in another way...:satisfied:

just personal taste I find the button stance a tad too high. But nice fit.

This. The blue coat is a 3-button, but based on the photos I'm not sure that you could button the top button if you wanted to (not that you would ever want to, but still). That said, the colors are great on you, and despite the lapels being too wide on paper (my opinion only) they seem to work for you when worn. Very nice overall, although as noted above there seems to be a lot going on with the second one, but that may be the style where you live.

On the blue jacket, the left sleeve could be 1/4" shorter; it is noticeably longer than the right sleeve in both pictures and obscures your shirt cuff. But really a remarkable fit.

Excellent.

To all those who expressed confusion - the 'extra appendage' is a throat latch, as found on most trench coats.


I can understand fastening the neck with a trenchcoat or mac, but on a sport jacket? Going to look rather odd isen't it?

Maybe I'm missing something here.

I don't think it's intended to be buttoned. If I'm not mistaken, it's a "3 button roll 2.5" jacket.
