Lotta dark colors there. Can you post more pics of the jacket? How was your experience with iSarti?

I was actually shooting for a low contrast fit. I will have to take some more when I am back at work, the lighting in my home is not great. The experience with Isarti was good, I have a few tweaks I would like to make on the second commission, but nothing out of the ordinary for me.

Nicely done LS. That is the LL that got away for me. I even tried to have them remake it to no avail.

It’s one of my most worn jackets. I don’t understand his rationale for some of the fabrics he offers. I would keep fighting the good fight to have it re-made.

LS will know the tailor, I was referring to the cloth which is a London Lounge cloth from years ago.

i would be on boat for a remake.
trying to get it through lost&found did not work for me.
maybe with a slightly more muted/pale blue or more prominent lilac for a better balance?

coat on @lordsuperb is 11/10

Where does one find higher rise jeans in dark wash that's less than $200?

I tried Wrangler's Cowboy Cut in slim fit and they were super tight everywhere.

I then went up one size and went for their original Cowboy Cut and it was way too loose all around and loved to form a crotch tent at all times.

I've seen people recommend Orslow and Todd Shelton, and those prices are the same as what my local tailor charges for MTM trousers, which is ridiculous.
After leg growth, Wrangler in the original Cowboy Cut actually fits me really well now. Great value.

May as well be labelled athletic fit, mid-high rise.

I tried to have him remake it with the alpaca mix for spring. Would be great.

The jacket is already soft, I’m not sure why the other fabrics he produces are super hairy and rough to touch.

Going up one size like the post you quoted?
I'm not sure, looking back.

I always thought I was a 32 in most brands in the past, but they were always snug in odd areas.

I take a 33 contemporary in Spier & Mackay casual pants and trousers, and a 33 in the Wrangler Original Cowboy Cut. So I guess true to size? Both fit me well.
