Here's what was a Oxxford Renaissance XXX N2 suit jacket that I bought at NM a few months ago and never wore. This shouldn't be more than a year old

I'm not educated enough to tell you which parts are machine sewn, hand sewn, or sewn by bi-curiously gay elves wielding Singers, so you shall be the judge.

I'm no expert but that looks like handwork to me. Certainly a hell of a lot more than the Kiton showed.

You bought this new several months ago and never wore it? I am protesting your thread on principle.
As an aside, if you have any other OC suits, new, relatlively new, old, relatively old, and they are in a 42-43 PM me and I will gladly take those nasty rags off of your hands to spare them an untimely demise

Oxxford 2
Kiton 1


There are traces of sewing machine work in there,
but Oxxford never said they don't use sewing mchines!


Keep going baby, the shore is in sight.....


The collar?
Open up the chest piece and padding too.
Is the chest canvass a pre made outsource piece (willing to bet yes, no shop in their right mind would do this stage in house).

With this brave new sacrifice the board has now entered a totally distorted plane of reality. Brilliantly insane - long may the slicing and dicing continue!

wow, i am so inspired to go into my closet and rip apart my hugo boss and emporio armani! although , you may not see much....
and also they are my only suits....



...

..i mean, this takes our wives saying that we are badly influenced by the forum , to a whole new level.
i mean....theyve already seen us setting our shoes on fire, or putting our shoes in the freezer, or dry cleaning our sock , etc
