This has always been a problem for me. Especially with the shorter collars like on that RLBL shirt. Are Wurkin Stiffs the only option? Normal collar stays don't really do anything..the collar still slips under the lapel eventually.

Your first WAYWRN post has epic lack-of-wine-in-the-shot fail.

Sleeves? Hmmm. Ambrosi balance? Hmmm. (tutee, I promise to get back to you...)

Otherwise, and we'll ignore the wires, nice. Really like the lapels.

I have yet to figure out proper inside-belly shots. That is where the wine resided during this particular photo.

both are first bespoke attempts, minor changes will be in place for the next order(s). And all things considered, I am thrilled with the results. I have seen far FAR worse first attempts on here.

Yeah, it looks good. I can see why you are happy with it.

The sleeve thing I've seen before on Solitos, and the balance issue is something that seems to be just part of what's intrinsic to Ambrosi. So, I wouldn't worry about it since it's something that would appear unlikely to be changed.

Anyway, someone more informed than I is working on a thread touching on some of these issues.

My next order will have slightly wider sleeves, though I must say I do like these. I don't have very big arms in the first place. And I'm not concerned about any trouser issues, I even like the espresso stains on the inside. Except the 9 buttons makes micturation a chore.

Also, didn't fully realize, but that picture makes me look pretty good in size. I'm 5' 8" and a puny 130 lbs.

drool. A simple faced A Lange is my absolute dream watch. I'd start an account for one, but a certain +1 would rightfully be angry at me.
