nice gloves, pocket! what are they?

My recent purchases are finally all finished, and I'm headed back to work overseas while the tailoring, shipping, or otherwise is done. Might have a photo of the first two soon, IF the wife agrees and doesn't consider photographing clothes for me....again.......too cumbersome.

Navy pinstripe RLPL SB suit, 2 button double vents, FF trousers with side tabs/ no belt loops

Medium grey solid RLPL SB suit, 2 button double vents, FF trousers with side tabs/ no belt loops

MTM white french cuff Kiton dress shirt


Navy solid MTM Zegna Milano SB suit, 2 button double vents, trofeo 250 gram wool. the one I tried on fit very well off the rack, so only minor adjustments to the stock pattern-- felt GREAT with the higher armholes, trim jacket, and softer shoulders.

Medium-dark Earnest Sewn jeans

items from huge sale at Lile's in NC (regret that I'm not a 42r or 46r in Kiton!!!!! spent less than $200 total, however)

Seven for all Mankind worn-in denim shirt

union jack beat-up belt for jeans

canvas belt with steel buckle

medium blue cotton sport shirt with small burgandy flower-print

LOL. Outstanding. That aside, how do you feel about your first Chan(s)? This one looks great. Is there anything you would change?

- Very impressed for my 1st
- It's back fro a few little changes:
  1. Right sleeve head to be re-set
  2. flaps on the pockets to be shorten by 1cm
  3. length of pant to be shorten by 1.5 cm
  4. back to be let oiut a fraction as since I order 3/4 lining, & the cut is slim, looser shirts & braces show as well as catch
