***Official Franco Ercoles Bespoke Thread (Brooklyn/Manhattan)***

[DLJr]

It's the same as the LL Molloy & Sons donegal barleycorn run,just a separate run Frank had made for himself after making poorsod's jacket. He still has some left in his Brooklyn shop, at least as of the trunk show.

Met the Ercole team at the SF trunk show last month. We are working on a tweed SC for me. had my 1st fitting yesterday. No lining, buttons, just nailing down jacket length, sleeves, overall structure. Had a fantastic experience in the shop yesterday. I am looking forward to the next step of jacket construction and nailing down all the details to make it truly mine. One of the workers was even willing & able to pick me up in Brooklyn when the subways decided to act up. Did not think to take pics but def will next time. Thanks again!

Does anyone know off hand the price of Ercole's CMT bespoke trousers? (interested in the Manhattan price, if there's a difference)

It was $450 last time I asked.

Also depends on the specifications, lapped seams, button fly, lining etc.

I don't think Frank charges extra for a button fly. Also, how do lapped seams work on trousers?

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Laps the out seams and at the pocket openings. Also handwork around the fly area.

 

[johanm]

Ok - so it's $450 base, plus additional charges for certain extras?

 

[patrickBOOTH]

I'm not sure honestly, I'm just saying that it probably varies. I've never bought just trousers from Frank.

 

[Slickman]

The cost for CMT trousers have gone up, I would call frank to get an exact quote

Something a bit different, a coat I had made for my wife for Christmas. Big thanks to Rob for the fabric.

 

[NewYorkIslander]

That looks AWESOME! I'm picking up my bulletproof sportcoat tomorrow. 1927 fabric...overcoating...heavy as ****.

 

[DLJr]

Jeremy brought out your jacket, that thing is heavy. It's also excellent. Lapels are fantastic.
