Jacket looks better. Bummer on the trousers - Out of curiosity have you had a chance to press them yet? I ask because of the big fold across the crotch and that the creases not looking particularly set.

I haven’t but I’ll give it a try. Tightness aside, they seem to be well-crafted.

I believe the Fox Air Indigo is on the right direction and hopeful that we’ll be able to nail it down.

FWIW: my experience thus far as been great. Antonio has been very communicative, quick, has accommodated my schedule and travel, and had gone out of his way to make sure that I know that he is there for me for any follow up needs. So far, I have been happy with the process and feel like I will be satisfied with the final product for my use.
Just echoing this. Antonio has been amazing in replying every single time and in great detail.

Yeah the finished pair seem a bit slim for what it looks like you were after. Hopefully a pressing can solve some of the pleat issue and messiness.

A shame that he moved forward with both at the same time. A good reminder for myself to go slowly and not grab multiple things between fittings.

Sharing some photos of suits my friends ordered at the Los Angeles trunk show in October (they will be fitted in the next visit at the end of this month). None of these guys are on StyFo so if I don't share them here no one will.

Wanted to share some updated photos of my Fox Air Midnight Navy suit which was done primarily through remote fitting with some tweaks during his NYC visit and my Fox Air Indigo suit in progress which I’ll be doing a virtual visit with Antonio on. Welcome any feedback

Fox Air Midnight Navy

-overall happy and pleased with the jacket but wondering if the right sleeve might have a small pitch issue causing a divot? It might be subtle but we plan to go over during video call tomorrow.
-Less happy with the two pairs of pants, but Antonio explained he did all he could with both pairs from a fabric availability standpoint. They’re a bit slimmer than I was hoping for and the pockets and pleats don’t sit entirely flat but as they’re intended for braces, they’ll get covered by the jacket.

I had the opportunity to meet with Antonio earlier today to go over everything including any potential fit challenges with this suit, the one in progress, and the shirt. His father took a look at everything as well and provided additional consultation.

We spoke at length about the issues surrounding the pants which he agreed with and he’s going to remake them which goes very much appreciated (again this always came down to fit vs craftsmanship).

Here’s some photos from the shirt fitting (Antonio measured me when in NYC and sent me a “scrap” shirt to nail fit down).

Off to DHL this afternoon

Hello.


Just a question for the experts


I found two Sartorias Pastena. Are these two somehow related or completely independent?


Thanks

They’re entirely separate entities. Sartoria Pastena Elegance is the one the guys in this thread have used.

Yes entirely separate. However, they are cousins. The reason I know that they are cousins is because I contacted Sartoria Pastena 1972 by mistake and they informed me. 😂😂😂😂

Just got my suit back from Antonio after some tweaks and decided to throw on the jacket for some family photos.
