Just did this custom suit with an Eidosesque Lapel. Came out fantastic.
3 Roll 2.5, Wide Notch Lapel. Soft Natural Shoulder. This bad boy rings in at an amazing $649 CAD.


Full or half canvass? It looks great, very slim and relaxed. I'd suggest adding this (with a narrower lapel) as a stock model for those of us who don't wear any padding.

On edit: I see it's half. The front looks very nice and soft.

This particular one is half. We are thinking of maybe adding this as a stock. But as a limited run at first.

I'd stick to a more normal lapel width, I'm solidly on team "wide is just as bad skinny".

This particular one is half-canvas. This includes a house stock Filarte 110's.
What fabrics do you have for both navy and brown odd jackets?

Please no wimpy lapels.

3.5 inches being an insufficient width is a style forum creation.


In our custom program you can do whatever size lapel you want.

The sample shown was the customers choice. If we do this OTR iw would be be proportional lapel for each size.

Regarding the tobacco wool/linen contemporary 2 suit currently on sale; how is the button stance? Also is this a good spring/summer fabric? Thank you.

Also, it looks like the measurements for the slim and contemporary are switched, with the slim being bigger than contemporary (for Model 2).

It also looks like the button stance is slightly lower on the suit than the jacket

The suit is beautiful, you can find some pics of me wearing it in this thread. I'll probably be wearing it again very soon, and looking forward to it!

You wear it very well. Thank you for sharing those. Did you opt for the contemporary 2 or the slim 2?

Quick fit pic of the new custom SC I received last week. Sleeves need to be let out. Might take in the sides a hair more, might not.

Yes we are. There is a slight delay in the first run, should have them in April. This run will be from fabric we purchased from a supplier from available stock. A really great mid-weight for warm weather.

For fall, we will roll out the chinos for which we developed our own cloth. A really fantastic Mid-Heavy 3x1 twill made from 100% Egyptian Cotton.


Rick - any eta for the new warm weather chinos?
