I bought a size 50 and the waist had enough taper from what I could see and feel. I just had the sleeves shortened and collar dropped. Also opted for functioning buttonholes. I actually do not have a nice navy sport coat, so this will be my staple. 4-ply fabrics are my weakness

Navy blazers are my weakness. I had a hopsack blazer made up by Corneliani this summer to replace a Coppley hopsack blazer that was just sort of nice. Then there's Ring Jacket winter weight balloon blazer that I use a lot. But this is a twill. And 4 ply 160's, which is nuts. And triple patch. So how could I say no to that?

I have the brown tweed herringbone Model 11 from last fall and really like it (wearing it today with cords and an oxford shirt actually). The fit is great after a bit of tailoring in the waist and the shoulder and lapel are perfect to me. I opted for the Model 11 blazer because it reminded me of the 3/2 roll, patch pocket Brooks blazer I used to have...but way better. The detailing on the lapels is really great as well.

what would you tailor on the "lapel" one thing that model 11 bothered me was shoulder, were you able to "clean it up"?

Nothing. That was poor sentence structure and me forgetting a comma after "waist." The waist is the only place I would tailor. I liked the shoulder quite a bit. What bothered you about it?

I only tried on for like a minute, and I remember it was really rumbled/uneven on my shoulder

The Armoury Decade Twill Model 11
Fabric feels so robust and soft. Will post fit pic if I can get someone to take a photo of me. Had the collar lowered and button holes made.

Oh that's nice. Do you know the approximate weight? Any other cloth details?

sorry I meant no front dart (dart less ? Not sure what brain fart I did there), by the way do you have model 7 as well, how do they compare?

I picked up the model 11 twill as well, did anyone choose the model 3?

Weight is 380 gr/m I think.

I picked my Model 11 from the tailor today as well. It's excellent.

Anyone have any thoughts/opinions/experience with one-button jacket sleeves like below?

 

[Gus_McCrae]

I have a one button sleeve jacket from camoshita. It has has no breast pocket. It’s a nice change, best in a casual fit - imho - chinos, jeans, fatigues, cords.
