Sartoria Corcos Consolidated Thread

[GzianoCucinelli]

Commission #2: Odd jacket from London Lounge's Prince Michael Tweed cloth.

My wife and I ended up getting married in May (we postponed the celebration/party to June 2021) and I had a chance to wear Kotaro's suit he made for me. I’ve worn it many times since then, the fit was great, and so I was ready to have the tweed jacket finished.

After receiving the jacket earlier this afternoon, I threw it on straight out of the box, and hardly noticed any wrinkles. I love the weight & texture of this cloth, perfect for winter in NY. Kotaro did a beautiful job here, especially with the pattern matching.

Although I don't have any in-progress commissions with Kotaro right now, I have a stack of cloth reserved for him. I hope Kotaro can travel soon; I'm thinking of a double-breasted jacket next. With that said, I’ll need to drop a few pounds before starting any new commissions.

I hope everyone on here is doing great & keeping safe.

Cheers

Really nice collar matching on the back!

Sartoria Corcos is now taking on new clients but you need to be able to make your way over to Florence to take advantage of it.

Corcos is no longer taking new customers. That was fast.

'Absolutely beautiful work. The overall pattern-matching, especially along the sleeves, shows Kotaro-San's mastery. While sleeve pattern-matching may sometimes seem like a secondary effect, it makes a significant difference in a jacket's appearance in my opinion. Also, the lack of a front dart on a pattern jacket presents an amazingly cohesive look.

I am trying to plan a trip later at the end of this year to visit him in Florence to place my order. Have an appt confirmed. Hopefully no hiccups in my plan.

I have my first Corcos appointment set up for the upcoming NYC trip. It’s been a long wait since I first got on the mailing list, I’m really looking forward to it. And my Japanese has become passable in the interim. I usually perseverate beforehand about choosing fabrics so I don’t pick something in the heat of the moment that I regret, but I think I’m just going to tell Kotaro-san what I’m looking for and let him pick.

Commission #3:

I asked Kotaro-san to pick out the fabric for this next commission - I just wanted it to be "blue".

The following pictures were taken during his latest NYC trunk show:

Looking good. Corcos is probably the only Italian tailor I want try at this point.

Looked at the website. Too much shoulder for a guy
like me.

My first time meeting Kotaro-san.
I happen to be very closely sized as Kotaro-san so I was able to try on his personal jacket and coats. Commissioned a jacket with unreleased Fox fabric and cappotto collo bastardo in a loro piana herringbone.

 

[aristoi bcn]

Very nice herringbone and perfect choice for an Ulster coat.

Bumping this thread up as I will have an appointment with Kantaro during Pitti (next week). Reading the thread, I was surprised how easily I got the appointment (I was completely unaware that he is very selective of taking appointment).

Although the jacket style looks quite Florentine, which brings out the sharpness and "quite a presence" around shoulder and lapel (in other words, a style I tend to avoid), one his loyal customers that I follow on Instagram assures me it is than that.

With Liverano being way to expensive for my taste and budget, I am very curious how my first Florentine jacket would look like. It will most likely be in doppio petto unless Kantaro convinces me otherwise.

Keep you all posted.

I will have an appointment with Kantaro

His name is Kotaro. Also, why would you choose a tailor/style that you know you don't like?

Oops, tks for point that out. My keyboard has autocorrected this with its own mind.

I dont think I stated as " I dont like".

I believe that I phrase it as a style that I tend to avoid BUT a friend assures me that there is more than what it looks like on photo.

With that said, there are things I like about Corcos (which I believe everyone on this thread is aware of... ) and I shall stay open minded.
