Shoulders on the tux are more structured than on the Napoli, I think, but they're not particularly roped.

Lazio in blue! Instant-buy.

I have the tux, the shoulder just seem a tiny bit roped until they flatten out (if thats even possible). Just got back from alterations from my tailor and its perfect, great buy.

The fit is good Timo. Can you describe the current MTM process? I did it two years ago and I understand it now allows more features. È.g you have patched pockets and a lower button stance. Also what's the price range now?

Thx. They do have a wide range of options now. You can choose shoulder types, db/sb, button-confuguration (2b, 3b, 3r2), pocket (I take 3 curved patch pocket a la P. johnson).
You can also adjust a lot of measurements. I lowered the buttoning point and made a lot of other small changes.
This jacket is made of Ariston fabric and came out just under €600, which really is a steal considering fabric and construction (full canvas etc)
I have another appointment on Monday to order more stuff. It's addicting.

@timotune , am I still correct in saying that the MTM process does not allow for gorge height adjustment, or is that now an option?

It wasn't possible to change the gorge imho, but I'll check again on Monday.

Wait, in your opinion it wasn't possible to change the gorge?

Isn't that not an opinion?

Also, it looks fantastic. Great fit.

For me, true to size.


Still confused regarding length. The accounts I've read stated that tuxedos are longest in length compared to others in the same size- so same length with london according to the size advisor, but longer than havana and soho. My 42R Soho is a touch too short to cover my huge ass, so taking that as a starting point, a slightly longer 42R tuxedo or London would fit me well. But if you say the 40S Havana and Tux are the same length then I'm not sure anymore.

The length measurement, BOC, is 28 1/4 inches for the Havana 40S and 28 1/2 inches for the Tuxedo.
My earlier comment was in reference as to how I thought the fit in the chest and waist of the tuxedo compared to other SuSu coats.

Hey, thanks for taking the trouble for measuring them. Sounds reasonable then!
