That must be why I like it. Looks good.

This is a drawback, I admit. Manageable though.

Trini, love it. Would have prefered a smidge less shoulder extension. Whoever the tailor is, my suggestion would be to buy lots of fabric from me

and use him often

Thanks!

And that's the plan! So now send me some of that plaid pants material!

"denim" suits are trending hard right now.

I like it Trini. However, I agree with with greg on the shoulder extension, maybe it is the pictures but seems a little top heavy. Also, are you going to try 3 button or going to stick to 2 button?
Those lapels must be like 5"

This is one of the best threads on SF. So many beautiful patterns and colors.

You mean wool but similar to denim in color and the twill? (I hope so, otherwise I think of something with 8" lapels worn by The Ohio Players in the 70's.

)

The buttons look too close together.

Not a fan Trini, I liked your RL stuff much better. I remember you posting a pin-striped number with zero padding that I liked a lot.

I agree with these comments that the shoulders are a bit too extended for my taste and the buttons look a bit close together, but not problematic. Really dig the width of the lapels; does that match the width of the cuffs? And have you already identified the tailor?

Cheers. He's a local guy I'm testing out.

The buttons are about 1/2" too close so that will be corrected on the next commission.

I'll probably have the shoulders in a bit and go 1/2" shorter on the jacket length as well.

The cuffs are 2".
