Roda thoughts opinions input

Size "S", made in Italy of 100% cotton (very thick, feels like jersey), unlined with single vent, patch pockets, notch lapel 3 roll 2.

4 buttons on the cuff, feels like closed but real buttonholes which is a problem for me as the jacket is a good 1-2" long in the sleeve. Otherwise it fits nicely and because of its total lack of construction is very comfortable.

From what I can tell it's all machine made. Claimed retail was $965.

^hmm. I would not wear it often (colour, stripes) and I would prefer it double vented. Do not worry much about the construction, it is well made, reminds of Sartoria Partenopea or Boglioli. If it fits well and the price is good, go for it.

Yes, just not sure if my tailor is up for it - I have a cheap Theory blazer that needs the same work so I am going to give him that one as a test on Monday.


Clausc - I'm not sure either to be honest. This would be for wearing with jeans, slacks, etc - I don't work in a suit environment so I think I could find a fair amount of outfits it would work with.

I own 3 Roda shirts.


They have MOP buttons, thin - similar to Kiton, crows foot stitch and the fabrics are good. Very slim.
For me, they fit just fine and I'm very happy with them. Holding up fantastically after a few years of wearing and washing.
The only other piece I have is a PS. Had to pull the big Roda label off though. Apart from that the quality is fine.


If anyone is interested I will post some pics.
