Thanks! I was only looking for some positive feedback before handing over credit card info for some unknown by me mill.- Victor Elfo

Have any of you bought fabrics at Philips-Boyne? They are asking for my complete credit card information and I'm not comfortable enough to complete the order.- Victor Elfo

You can button it, but, probably, it will throw off the balance. Except for a paddock coat, you should not button the last button.- Victor Elfo

HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)
That's really nice suit, Sander! Looking forward to more photos of it. Not trying to nitpick, but have Miyahira-san diagnosed what causes that ill fitting shoulder? One of my coats presents the same problem (different tailor, though), but I have not had the time to send it to the mothership. My...- Victor Elfo

Perhaps because being able to empathize is the most underestimated human capacity and the most needed. Though, IMO, it's more simple than that: it pleases clothing nerds.- Victor Elfo

HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)
It depends on the shade of red, in my opinion. Bright colors are tough to pull off in "good taste". Bellow are some picture of Mark Cho, which, in mi opinion, has worn a red blazer in good taste. It looks so good to me that I actually almost fooled myself into commissioning one, in spite of...- Victor Elfo

gennaro paone: former head tailor of rubinacci
That sharkskin is the best I've seen so far from Paone (2). Thanks for sharing. Any differences you noted from your first order? Also, any new orders?- Victor Elfo

Ongoing Bespoke Projects
You mean ethnically? I'm not familiar with ethnic Iranians, but I'm a common Brazilian, as far as I know. I think that it's a fussing. Can't ask more than fit, style and the process paying the equivalent to us$ 250,00 for a suit.- Victor Elfo

Ongoing Bespoke Projects
No and they were only that big at the fitting, though I make sure to have some shoulder extension while keeping a curve on the sleeve fall. My tailors likes to decide about the shoulder length at the fittings. Also, while having some shoulder pads, the shoulder has a pretty natural line to it...- Victor Elfo

The donegal tweed seems to have gained a lot of traction lately. I love mine and intend to commission another one, but I'm undecided between W Bill's 34582 (perhaps 34592, after seeing Benedik's suit) and the P&H's Thornproof 62261. Anyone would like to give me your 2 cents?- Victor Elfo

Ongoing Bespoke Projects
I partially agree with you. Yes, we can make a point today that the fit is the main asset of bespoke, given that there is RTW on par with bespoke (cloth wise and handcraft wise) and made to order on the same standards (which gives you more flexibility with the cloth choice and a better fit, in...- Victor Elfo

gennaro paone: former head tailor of rubinacci
In that case, he really did a good job, because I really do not see those "issues". Based on what I can see, I would dial back on the lapel width (it dominates the chest, undermining it as a result) and ask for a cupped skirt, so as to undermine the hips. Dunno... What do you think of those...- Victor Elfo

gennaro paone: former head tailor of rubinacci
I also not a fan of the DB's shape, perhaps the photo is to blame. Anyway, in this particular photo, the high waist point combined with the wide skirt undermined the chest shape, which is a look I do not like.- Victor Elfo

Ongoing Bespoke Projects
There is no way to give a objetive answer to your question, IMO. There are some RTW which rivals bespoke in terms of handcraft and cloth's quality (Formosa comes to mind), so there is not much difference there. Fit is the only objective factor that puts bespoke ahead of RTW, but there is many...- Victor Elfo

Are the Molloy & Sons' donegals suitable for a suit, in your opinion? I'm concerned about the trousers durability.- Victor Elfo
