I don’t know - if I can lengthen the jackets by about five inches and the sleeves four inches, I might be able to make them work 😂
I'm 5'8 and a half. I think they will work for me.

Anyone expecting to receive a navy Finmeresco and black tuxedo today?
Wait. Backup, did Antonio send you someone else’s clothing?

I saw Antonio in NYC this past Saturday where he was really able to pinpoint and solve for some of the fit issues I’ve experienced on most recent suit. Despite a minor language barrier at times, definitely better to communicate issues in person vs virtual and text.

Additionally, he did a fitting of my new VBC 4-ply which seems to be close

Fox Tweed "chore jacket" received yesterday.

Looking to order another one with some slight changes in a cashmere blend if anyone has bunch recommendations. Can't decide if it would look better with a placket.

How are you liking the progress of your pattern? Are the adjustments producing positive results?

I'm curious on these, but can anyone tell me this - do you get to pick out the peak lapel shape? On their pictures, they seem to be all over the place when it comes to the shape of their (peak) lapels. I absolutely love some of them, and loathe others. Other brands / tailoring houses seem to have more or less one shape/house style, and that's that.

Do they show you pics of various jackets, and you just point on the lapel you like, and say "that one" ?

I send Antonio pictures of what they've done for myself or others that I like. And, yes, they do have a variety of peak lapel styles.

Thank you

What's the price estimate for a bog standard two-piece suit in normal four season material?
