Thanks for your information sharing. I just bought a beautiful fabric from fox brothers, a limited edition chestnut brown windowpane on a beautiful tan/camel background from their foxdrop series and was thinking of which tailors with their MTM and or bespoke programs that are affordable could make a great jacket out of that fabric that is in between a tweed (not as coarse) and flannel (not as soft). I was thinking of NMWA's Sartoria Carrara cut, since I like that optically/aesthetically quite a bit (though I never tried it on nor do I know if that would actually look decent) and it seems as if it might work out best for my proportions, but was also thinking of other options like the Neapolitans. But I always wanted to know more about Florentine style, though I don't like Liverano as much, the gorge is too open for me and I concur with Vestrucci's philosophy that a man's private parts should be covered. With a man my size at 191 cm and a 120 kg a jacket that is too short looks like I grew out of it in a sense. Anyhow its good to know that a Florentine master is accessible on the US east coast and I will compare both NMWA and Vestrucci once I can go to New York again and see. Thanks for your conversation here, it was really helpful in answering a lot of my questions!Unfortunately I did not. Trousers typically me up 25% of the total cost with the remainder of the cost being the jacket. I found this true with both Sartoria Gallo and Vestrucci.
I would guess anywhere between $3200-3500 depending in the fabric.
