Is Barbarian sportswear and their rugby shirts cream of the crop per se, or are there any other makers that share the same space? I see a lot of the Korean menswear wear Barbarian and trust their judgement.

X-post from Brogue thread:

I MTO'd a pair of Bontoni 'Orsini' monks in navy blue during a trunk show - and got to meet Franco Gazzani, one of the company's founders.

Their MTO program is closer to MTM, as they can make various adjustments to the last. Also, the finishing is top notch.

I've started to appreciate single monks more in general:

That is a very competitive price for a vicuna-blend SC.

Seems like good prospect. How would you describe their aesthetic? i.e., Drakes alternative, or something else entirely?

Don’t really know actually I just have seen them as another soft mainstream kind alternative, think Drake is more casual than this. This is closer to say RL?

Have you ordered from them before? Really nice style; wondering about quality. Thanks!

Local boutique had a fashion show, and I snapped this pic:

Apologies for the poor quality.

This is an Armani DB suit in their ‘Royal’ fit.

The jacket looks great, and the trousers are extra wide.

I don’t know if this look would ever take off IRL, but it is pretty sharp.

Edit: I believe it’s this suit:

Giorgio Armani Royal Line Double-Breasted Suit

90% Virgin Wool, 8% Cashmere, 2% Elastane<br />Made in Italy<br /><br />Designer Model Number: GM000561TE11804<br />Designer Colour: M8062<br />

Edit again: The hem is 10.4 inches at the cuff.
