It is about 20x better looking than the average, closed up A&S jackets, at least to my eyes.

Well its not as if I asked for the "Astaire" model like I was ordering a Ford. I just explained to John Hitchcock the elements of the garment that I wanted, I mentioned the coat in the photo...

I love those country suits.

Just remember to tip your boater to the girls at the Piggly Wiggly

The coat itself is fine, if limited to very weakly patterned shirts.

For the class, the suit on the left demonstrates how a women's jacket is supposed to fit. Awesome

My wife has a bespoke shetland sportcoat from Dege. It fits like that and looks fantastic I have been trying to get her to order another one but she isn't interested (for some odd reason, it attracts lesbians - I have seen it in action; a group followed us from place to place on Sunday and I finally asked confronted them in a coffee shop; they were tourists, thought she looked cool so figured they might as well go where we were going- but I don't think that is the reason).

Notice the full length seams that run from top to bottom over the chest, unlike on the darts on a men's coat. Hers is cut that way as well.

I noticed the chest seams. It's really a necessity to get a fitted look. No wonder the lezzies like it, it's attractive for guys as well. Most attempts to do a women's jacket are a complete fail (even from good makers). It's a whole different cutting technique.

I think this is the Bianca/Mick homage.

Thanks, Vox, for posting these. It's always nice to catch a glimpse of the wider spectrum of the SR experience. There's a glorious history in all that military tailoring and clothes made for now-vanished or ridiculous leisure pursuits. Heck, even the lounge suit gets more of its due here. I, of course, particularly admire the tartan offerings; a well-executed plaid and crescent pockets will win me over almost every time.

In reality, they are remakes of Edward Sexton's white wedding three-piece suits for Lord and Lady Montagu. You can see he 1971 originals hanging behind in this shot from the Florence exhibit:

You're welcome.

English tailoring is inventive and deep in a way Italian tailoring is not.

Yeah: I said that. Who wants to fight me?

I do like those lapels.

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Thank you.

And sweet redemption for all those critique my Jantzen threads.

I would assume that you might be facile with Lord Montagu trivia.

Did I post one of those?

If so, I apologize, although I have never ordered anything from them.
