The Anthology RTW

[jeremygo]

Has anyone had any experience with RTW sport coats and suits from The Anthology? I've been eyeing the grey tweed herringbone SC, which seems like a great option for the price - but was curious what others' experience has been.

Resurrecting this thread (since it's the closest thing I could find to a general Anthology discussion thread). Has anyone had any recent experience with The Anthology's tailoring?

I like it, thought mine was MtM but I would have fit in their RTW pretty well, it's pretty TTS in general, might run on the short side depends on your personal preference

So what’s the reason Anthology is not as much discussed as other similar brands of size or price range on the internet?

The herringbone beige odd jacket has been on my radar since last year. It seems very versatile. Reminds me very much of a jacket Eidos released around NY Blues era.

Their jackets also seem to have the ideal pattern with lower gorge, buttoning, lapel width, and wider shoulders. Fabric choices for RTW seem well thought out. The rerelease of the JKF jacket also intriguing.

@jeremygo did you end up with anything? Do just like Drakes more?

@gettoasty I actually ended up picking up a grey herringbone from NMWA x Sartoria Carrara instead of The Anthology model.

I’d still like to try something from The Anthology - nice price point and the guys who run it seem great, just havent found the right thing to pull the trigger on yet.

Did you get RTW from NMWA or MTO/MTM? Do you mind sharing the price point? Interested in some patterned sport coats as well and both The Anthology and NMWA/Carrara are on my radar.

I did RTW preorder (for the model below) and am very impressed with it.

x Sartoria Carrara: Sport coat in grey herringbone flannel

"An incredibly versatile jacket, at ease with tailoring or with denim. We wanted to give the vibe of a tweed jacket but in a softer and lighter fabric, easier to wear through a range of temperature. Drapers Opalis jacketing is perfect for this and the epitome of the Italian mill's sensibility...

Now that I’ve gotten 1 sport coat from them and seen the fit and quality (both great!) I’m very likely to get MTO from them in the future. At the price point (starting at $1.4K) it honestly seems like one of the best MTO deals out there.

Definitely looks tempting at that price. Do you happen to know The Anthology's MTO/M price points as well?

I'm also curious about their camel polo coat, but they don't have international free returns, so it's a bit risky to blindly order one. I'll probably check if they bring fitting garments during their trunk shows.

Not sure, probably just hard to try on, they have a lot trunk show client though

 

[gettoasty]

The hard to try on is certainly one factor, for me too. Their email communication is responsive and helpful for sizing advice. I just don’t trust myself lol

I wasn’t interested in their MTM but they only offered bespoke for the blazer I was interested in. I certainly would have bought it OTR.

 

[clee1982]

their RTW fits me pretty well, but I have sooo many jackets, hard to justify some replicating stuff

 

[gettoasty]

Any past trunk shows happened in the SF Bay Area? That would be something I'd be interested in attending if only to get a feel of their fit before purchasing.

I informed them the Drakes Games jacket fits pretty well OTR and they recommended to stick with the same size (48). I am thinking sizing up to 50 to wear knits underneath but the team at the Anthology still recommended to stay with 48.

The black cord set up they have really has a cool factor to it, too. I can't get over buttoned front pants though ha.

I know the Anthology will have an NYC trunk show in March. I don't have the grey tweed herringbone jacket but I have an oatmeal one. Their RTW quality is beyond my expectations. Even though the tweed fabric is a bit heavy, I can feel the weight is distributed very well on my shoulders.

 

[clee1982]

I'm going to the March trunk show to hopefully have my 4x1 DB final fitting, the houndstooth in RTW is pretty good, already have grey herringbone jacket covered from elsewhere else that's a staple
