I don't think you are seeking the truth. You have thrown your dart and are now looking for paint to draw a bullseye.

Threads like this make me love my Cornelianis even more.

I have, but my selfish interests (and yours) must give way to the more pressing need of preserving Artisan Fan's mental health. These thrity plus pages have been enjoyable, but the sanity of one of our colleagues is too great a price to pay for our pleasure.

What has always attracted me to Kiton has been the fabrics and style. I've found the visible handwork to be pleasing.

Why do you care if we keep gathering data? Where's the harm in that? You don't have to participate if you are bored.

You and Taxgenius probably have not even seen the videos. After watching them, let us know how much handwork you think there is.

I've had a lot of fun with this topic, I will readily admit, but I'm in the dopey camp at this point. Just because a guy doesn't seem to care that the joke's on him doesn't make it right to keep riffing on him.

I'm not sure how you would get all the work done without spending 20+ hours based on viewing these. There is clearly handwork shown in the hand cutting of fabric, basting of the jacket, collar, shoulder, there is hand sewing of some chest pieces, sleeve attachment, lapel notches and edge stitching, all the way to the hand pressing at the end. The videos show more clearly the amount of handwork involved end to end than the photos of the jacket deconstruction. I think the cutting, basting, and hand pressing is what some here may not be figuring in for the hours totals.
Please, stop before you hurt yourself. The evidence shown on this thread is immense and overwhelming. A Tailor corroborated it on another thread. Even a tailor at FNBs site said about the same thing after seeing the pictures. I am sure that you can find 22-26 hours somewhere, it just isn't going to be in this jacket. Also, before you start asking about the videos, yes I have seen them. I have also seen the jacket and know what handstitching looks like.

Go ************* you troll. I can do what I want.

A tailor did not corroborate that there was less than any number of hours in the jacket.

If you have seen the videos, what evidence do you have on the amount of handwork. It's clear your pics only tell part of the story.

I am NOT WATCHING THE VIDEO for you. I will not be your enabler. I have never worn Kiton (or Oxxford) and don't care in the least about how much hand work is in them. I just care about you. I will not watch the video. I will not tally hours. I don't care about them. I only care about you my brother.

Then simply stay out of the thread if you don't have anything of substance to add.

I know you don't mean this. It's not really you talking. It's the stitching.

Well, it's disappointing to know that Kiton suits are not as hand made as we thought they were. However, I think Kiton suits are one of the best (if not the best) suit I ever put on to this date. How can't anyone not like softness and lightness of Kiton suit?

You're right. It only tells the part of the story which is reality as opposed to the delusional part that you are telling. The videos are PR. They mean nothing. The proof is in the pictures and in the coat. If you can't see that then I don't know what to tell you.
