I've never warmed to the ticket pocket. It always looks off to me, especially on a non-British suit, but I am in the minority.

One of the things that I have found is how practical a ticket pocket is for a bit of easy to access cash and a cell phone...I have never really liked putting anything in my interior breast pockets except for a fountain pen. Similarly, using the outpockets does not feel quite right to me either. The location and dimensions of a ticket pocket keep things tidy and fast to find.
But, you have an interesting point about them on non-British coats...the Italian coats that I have have (all RTW except for a Solito) all put the ticket pocket in locations that are a bit off...on the Solito, particularly, it is in a location that would make my English tailor frown, or at least, furrow his brow in perplexity.

I thought that was the whole point of getting MTM? You are getting an MTM, can't they easily replace the patch with regular flap pockets?Originally Posted by SuitingStyle
Isaia rep said they couldn't! I was surprised, too.
Nice touch with ticket pocket, did you go for 2 button and peak lapel as well?Originally Posted by SuitingStyle
Three button, notch (God I hope they get that right...).
excellent!! glad to hear it. Looking forward to photos when your suit arrives! I also dig the ticket pocket, nothing wrong with that!
We're looking at early May

I'm confident that Isaia will get it right. I'm just curios how much a suit like that will set you back. Also, what made you choose a three button over two?Originally Posted by MTM
All isaia models I've had have had three buttons and I liked the stance. Cost depends on cloth. Mine was relatively cheap, roughly $2800.

This is roughly what I've paid for my MTM Isaia suits. I'm very interested in your assessment of yours once you get it.

Bad light+bad camera=bad pics. Sorry.
Very pleased with the suit. I had them sew the buttons on, not cut holes, until I'd worn it a bit, but I think sleeve length is spot on currently. Jacket length is a little on the short side, but it makes me look more modern and I'm fine with that.

I like short jackets, but from the front that jacket looks a bit too short. I know this sounds like internet message board geekness, but I think a half inch longer up front would make it look better. The side/back seems fine from what I can tell, I take it the bottom of the jacket is angled. Also, with a short jacket I think shorter and smaller than normal hems complete the look. Your non cuffed pants are causing me to cry.
Took another look and are the shoulders a smidgen long?

Should suit pants always be cuffed? Or does that extend to all pants?
