That's too bad - I hope Mina can fix the collar problem quickly. That's a very basic fit issue.

I think the collar is low, which can be fixed (she should have an ocean of this cloth). It does not stick to the neck as well as I think it should. It just "feels" off or different, it's hard to put into words. It feels like it wants to be open at the chest and like it is slipping off, backward. I constantly want to tug it up and forward. Solito/A&S/Raphael by constrast rest on my frame exactly as I think they should.Originally Posted by Manton
I am tempted to say that it feels "straight" whereas it ought to be "crooked."
I would think it sounds like it's the other way round, a crooked cut throws extra length to the lapels and center front, which sounds like what you're describing, whereas a straight cut throws extra length to the scye.

I noticed on his blog a (former?) A&S apprentice modeling a few coats. Did that guy leave with Karl?

Do you have a link to his blog? Only his facebook is showing up on google.
I'm impressed with his facebook album. I don't know if he's technically as skilled at cutting as the other A&S guys but he certainly has an eye for youthful style. I really dig the mid-blue DB (linen?) that he's modeling in one of the pics
