What is the word on triple reverse pleats? I didn't notice this till you pointed it out.
To me, it screams Le Château steez circa late 80s - early 90s.

I really like the jacket, including lapels & blunted corners. To me that is what shows (aside from fit) that it is bespoke. If I had to make a negative comment it would be to have a different buttonhole style and tighter armoholes.
Thanks for spending the time doing this write-up. Since you first posted about this I found out a friend of mine (not an iGent) had a suit made by Lim and another friend of his, a lesbian woman with a fondness for men's suits, has had several commissions made there. Both are big fans of his work, but neither are people whose opinion I'd trust on tailors. I'm tempted to give him a try at this point, especially considering the price. I suspect that I'll end up with a wearable workhorse suit at the very least.
Great review and an excellent suit -- especially at those prices. It fits you very well and looks great. Thanks for the writeup and thanks for sharing the photos.
I agree, I found it to look "conservative" (in the nicest way) as well. Maybe because you didn't go too aggressively on the cut. This is possibly also why I find the lapels to be unusual... they seem out of keeping with the rest of the look. That and, they have a strangely biomorphic look about them.
It looks really nice. The flaps are a little small looking. Notch is well done. Which reminds me, the first person to post seemed to post like the herd mentality. If he moos to much maybe he'll end up on a dinner plate. The breast pocket is nice with the rounded corner. The color looks great to. The fit is not perfect, not that anybodies is, but for the price it is really nice. The notch is kind of a birds mouth. I like the rounded corners. Not sure I have seen them for about 50 years. Back in the days when you could see all kinds of cool stuff. So many of the people on these forums are afraid to doing anything other than the boring same. It is a cool coat. Thanks for showing.
Great stuff Coolal! The Brisa came out spectacularly.
Just when I thought the quality of posts on SF was in a nosedive, I read this thread. Thanks to the OP for posting the review and helping keep SF interesting.
