Sartoria Corcos Consolidated Thread

[Torsion]

This thread only gets better when people post photos!I am not sure of anywhere else apart from Kotaro's own IG feed of where we can reference/learn and talk about his garments.
Keep it up! 👍

Found this video, which gives a glimpse into the sartoria:


Also I did recently receive an overcoat and some trousers. Will try to take some pics and share shortly.

My suit and jackets that I already have from previous commissions I need to get altered as I lost quite a bit of weight since then…

Here a quick pic of the coat (and trousers, albeit covered a bit). The coat fabric is cashmere which has great drape and feel.
Overall quite happy.

London.
First fitting.Had more time with Kotaro than the first meeting and a much more relaxed vibe this time round.
Tried on the maestro's doppio uso which fitted me pretty well.Beautiful coat and tempting haha
Picked out a grey sharkskin for another conservative business dress suit only to find it's really similar to a daily I am currently wearing so back to the drawing board.
Keeping to my word above and posting as many pics for reference.
Cheers

Looks great! Thank you for sharing!

His work is very beutiful, although I sometimes think he maybe exagerates the shoulders and chest just a tad for my taste (just a personal preference, some people look incredible in that style). What really sticks out to me is that his cloth selections are really nice. Whenever I see a jacket by him I always wish I knew where I could get that exact fabric.

Also from the London trunk show. Things are coming along nicely. One more to go for the magic 11th coat

Maestro "are you free tomorrow to come again"
Without hesitation "yes Maestro"

In again with Kotaro today, modifications to yesterdays fit and immediately noticeable.

Picked out a gray for conservative business dress work suit. Something he called serge (and I don't meant the guy that sits opposite me at work 😁)

Fintex of London?

Fintex of London?

I saw that swatch the day before but couldn't find it on Friday. Was side tracked and didn't check so will need to ask!

Very beautiful work…I’ve been very tempted to commission something from him since few fears ago, but can anyone advise what the turnaround time and payment schedule is?

A friend told me his order had been held for 3 years+ and when he flew to florence there was apparently nil progress on the suit. Don’t think I (and my body) can wait that long, also I’m hesitant to pay 100% upfront for such long wait as USD9k is not a small sum for me. But reading this post it seems everyone got their suits within a year?

Thanks in advance

Doesn’t sound like kotaro

Doesn’t sound like kotaro

To clarify, my friend was a trunk show client so he wasn’t expected to go to the artelier.

He simply told me that when he visited Florence he dropped by the shop and did a fitting, but it’s in the exact same state as it was before. I have no idea what adjustments were needed and how big a part covid played. Just curious what the normal turnaround time is.

Well. 9k for a suit and paying up front sounds like liverano through the armoury.

9k+ is my budget for corcos as I aim to get a few items, not what my friend paid for a suit. Again, my only question is really on what Kotaro’s turnaround time and payment arrangements are to make sure I could get something I appreciate. Apologies if there’s any misunderstanding that triggered any defensiveness.
