And this was made by Sartoria Vanni, fabric is Loro Piana, and priced about $1.8K


sartoria vanni sounds like Italian and may be it is the reason can imitate the TF so perfectly. however, where is the workshop of sartoria vanni, apgujong or sogong dong?

I should have added earlier that I like the unusual method of fastening the trousers at the waist above the fly: Looks rather better than the conventional 'french bearer' and more akin to the Ambrosi approach.

I may well try that.

The tailoring looks immaculate, but the suit is too tight. Those pants are for standing only; sitting in them ought to be uncomfortable. The jacket is also too lean.

You may want to try something cut on the easier side if you haven't already.

The suit is great and look terrific. May I know your weight, height and measurements? What is the cloth? How many fittings does this suit need and cost?

Dude, that's bordering on the stalkerish.

I like how the suits fit on you. However, I personally believe that the pants fit a little tight.

Well, if that is what you want, who I am to say how you should wear your clothes?

They do MTM also(I don't know I can tell it MTM, semi-bespoke?). If you send your body measurement or your best fitting clothes(to take a picture of your body or tell them your body character and your preference, it would be more helpful), they will make the garment base on it.
and the price starts from approx. USD380 and 420 for a blazer and a suit respectively.
*If you order from them, tell them not to make clothes too tight. Sometimes they make suit
too slim that can't move your arm. I've transacting with them over 2 years and order over 10 suits from them. Please don't think my suit is the typical form of them.

Thank you for the quick reply, the quality looks great and the prices seem very reasonable.

Hopefully I can work out ordering from them and having someone possibly pick it up for me. I will definitely keep in mind the tightness issue, my body type is more thick then slim.
