That’s not their house style. I’d usually wait until the second order before making those kind of modifications.kept things pretty simple by just basically telling them to make me a suit in the house style (with the exception that I’m getting a 1 button jacket).
I have a mohair suit in the works with Qemal. I think one more fitting and it will be ready.
i don't think assisi has the capacity to do more cities in china, unfortunately. speaking of assisi, i'm commissioning a double breasted peak lapel coat in a moss green loro piana fabric. really looking forward to it and highly recommend their work.was hoping that B&T and Assisi would travel to more cities in China. I think Luca Museo is the only Korean tailor who holds trunk shows in HK with Coller. Anyway, looking forward to seeing your commission from B&T.
Yes and he will remain my Italian tailor but I felt like experimenting a bit.You mainly use kotaro too, right?
Yep, I would assume it was designed with sportcoats in mind, but it was such an interesting brown, a muted overall look, and a quite “suity” fabric, so I figured I’d have some giggles. I expect to be denied admission at the finest clubs and eateries.I would not have thought use that fabric for suit either, not a question of bold or not for me, just not use to gunclub as suit I suppose
well, I would list some shops but I haven't been to any of them in person but have heard of them from friends.on the topic of Shanghai, any recommendation of "menswear" type of thing to check out..., might got a day there
I have no doubt that you are not only in the majority, but also more likely “correct” than me.That’s a great looking fabric and it’s hard to find that kind of a pattern at such a light weight but for me it’s a sports coat.

I mean, I guess that’s true, but the net result of my request is “don’t sew 2 buttons and buttonholes that will never be used anyway”. Shoulders, proportions, lapels, fronts, gorge, all aspects of the trousers, etc. are all still done as they normally do them. Mayyyyybe we’ll lower the buttoning point by 1-2 cm as a result, but again, to me that’s not messing with a house style or a significant “modification”. But, as always, to each their own! I like a 1 button front so I ask; if a tailor ever said no, I’d respect that.That’s not their house style. I’d usually wait until the second order before making those kind of modifications.
Yep, looked at that one, but didn’t like it as much. Definitely a more definitive “suiting” pattern, though. Also wanted to try Golden Fox, since I’m getting something else in Fox Air.FA5 : Plain Weave Walnut Classic Prince of Wales Check
This cloth is a Walnut classic Prince of Wales check. Fox Air is a tropical suiting cloth with a crisp, dry handle. Woven using a 2-ply up-twisted worsted wool to achieve a crease resistant cloth that is the ideal travel companion. The merino wool, woven in plain weave, will breathe in the...foxflannel.com
This would be my suggestion for a suit fabric that’s similar.
People have definitely used fabrics with larger, louder patterns so I think it will be fine.Yep, looked at that one, but didn’t like it as much. Definitely a more definitive “suiting” pattern, though. Also wanted to try Golden Fox, since I’m getting something else in Fox Air.

Oh, I’m not worried about it appearing outlandish/loud, at all (outlandish isn’t the vibe I normally go for, with some exceptions). I have “interview” suits sorted; everything else I get because I like it (I’m not required by my work to be in a suit), so I like to “explore the space” a little bit sometimes.People have definitely used fabrics with larger, louder patterns so I think it will be fine.
At the risk of admitting that I broke a “codified rule” of clothing (do I get a phone call? Will a lawyer be appointed for me? I spent all my money on this suit so I cannot afford my own!), I did provide “a reason”: I liked the cloth and wanted a suit in it.I like to experiment myself, but not without a reason there are codified rules in classic menswear. As you stated, that cloth calls for a sport coat.
