Yes! Any of our model's can be ordered with our custom program. We can swap out different trousers etc too, so I opt for size 48 Model 1 jacket with the pleated Model B trouser in a size 50.

Had to jump on the vintage wool shirt.

Please excuse the lounge pants. Try on right after delivery.

I just found this photo of the 3A which clearly shows the drape:

2326_560x@2x.jpg


I understand it's personal preference, but I wonder how this would look on somebody with a skinnyish frame.

Personally, I do love this look, but wouldn't want to look like I'm swimming in it (due to my frame).
I’m lean 5’9 132. I tried the 03 and thought it looked proportionally off. I’m not sure that model is good for slim or athletic frames. Although, Alan See look fine in them and he is certainly trim...his is likely mtm though.

Well 5’9” and 132 lb is like Japanese slim, maybe just get RJ 254 if you want Model 3/AMJ03 type of aesthetic (and I think in JP you can order as small as EU42, though might be too short for you?)

Thank you.
This one comes in US neck sizes. I took my normal dress shirt size of 16.5

So good! The fabric is from an old factory upstate that Jim found. The place has been closed for at least 25 years, so the fabric is at least that old!

Mark and Alan actually only wear our RTW and MTM! They've both moved between sizing depending on weight etc.

Yes! The Model 4, it is most often made up as our Tuxedo, but can be ordered MTO or MTM as a normal one button, peak lapel.

I should buy the shirt a drink! It's old enough.

@Max@TheArmoury Normally a 40L jacket, better to go 15.5 or 16 on the vintage wool shirt?
I'd lean towards the 16 if you plan on layering it over anything. If you just want to wear it as a shirt, the 15.5 may be ok. You can always try both and return the other size at no charge!
