You will burn on the plaza in front of the Humboldt Uni in Berlin for posting this, while I still box about pink hose.

Lucky dog.

He uses a bunch of tailors, mostly in LA. But he also uses A&S, and that looks like A&S to me in that pic judging by the lapel and teh drape.

Certainly, the way the relatively fully sleeve flows with the arm, presenting a smooth, gentle convex curve, is almost never achieved in RTW.



I think it looks bad. That is just me. Maybe it is because of the shot/angle...maybe it is because the gentleman is old and of significant girth. I prefer some of the other fits of his that were posted earlier. The pants look too long to me and I don't care for the sleeve length either. My eyes go to those things immediately, so I can't admire the shoulder and full sleeve, etc.

I prefer the way Luca looks. But, I do tend to lean towards the more pimptastic side of things.

I do wonder though, why doesn't he get that dome fixed up?

Hmmm...are you thinking, maybe, one of the collection of deerstalkers from their old RTW line that they have stockpiled in their Naples warehouse?

That photo would benefit significantly if the middle distance was sharper and the foreground was blurrier.

I am a fan of both Alden & Will ... but this is hardly an idea new to them. For as long as I can remember this has been a popular saying from Savile Row to Brooks Brothers.
