There's a slight divot at the upper arm, not sure if that means adjusting shoulder width or sleeve pitch or something else.

Take it to William Field to fix.

No virtual mtm but they can do minor adjustments to the pattern via mto.

Nice! Do you recall what corduroy fabric it was?

Also, what are the primary style details on the model 15 vs the classic model 3?

 

[hpreston]

I don’t have the fabric number, but I went with 100% cotton in mid wale from Brisbane moss, the grey is hard to photograph, its a warmish grey with a hint of brown undertone….

The model 15 (as compared to 3) is slightly shorter than the 3, but the main difference is the use of angled side darts instead of front darts (on the 3)

Looks great @gdl203 , Carrara? fabric (winter weight? summer?)

 

[gdl203]

Yes, from our MTM program, with a Fox worsted flannel (most underappreciated fabric type on SF, for reasons I could never understand)

I saw an article from DWW or someone raving about worsted flannel and it got me very intrigued, as I need a suit for an early summer/late spring evening but prefer thicker textured fabrics. Haven’t found it a ton of places though!

My latest MTM jacket. Not a great pic for this thread for showing fit/style, but I wanted to describe some of the changes to my pattern that this jacket reflects. We lowered the gorge a bit, and added two inches to the circumference of the chest and an inch to the waist, resulting in a more draped fit and a great deal more ease across my lats, mid-back, and seat. Building in ease/drape in the top block of the jacket, rather than trying to correct for pulling lower down, not only addressed those problems, but resulted in a more shaped silhouette than iterative "fixes" lower in the block would have achieved.

Looks good !

Just dropping by to see of anyone has had any experience with Casa del Sarto (Seoul) or Sartoria Raffaniello (Japan) MTM?

They do trunkshows where I live and just wanted to get a feel for how what working with them might be like.

Thanks! This is my most recent from Flanigan Clothing, a smallish MTM tailor that has made most of my tailoring at this point.
