Do you remember if he had any grays in that fabric as well? I’m just looking for basic solid suiting colors, nothing fancy.

Tbh, I never saw other fabrics. I said “kotaro, I’m thinking a solid navy heavy weight worsted suit.” He suggested this or a holland & sherry. I don’t typically like h&s, so this was the natural solution. I had a dormieul krono 12 nailhead I thought about sending him to have made up (I already have the fabric) but it was too much of a hassle.Do you remember if he had any grays in that fabric as well?

I trust that he’s handled and seen more fabric than I have. I’m paying for his expertise, so why not use it?
Another one you might consider asking kotaro about is the standeven heritage twist. While I haven’t had much experience with the London shrunk yet, it appears to be a very nice & elegant fabric.I agree completely. It’s a lot less stressful to do it that way than obsessing over fabrics, trying to find the “perfect” one, trying to source them, and hauling them to trunk shows.
Love this.I am thinking about a suit in this WBill whipcord - it's a dark bluish gray. Any thoughts and opinions?

Going for a charcoal suit with this one:Another one you might consider asking kotaro about is the standeven heritage twist. While I haven’t had much experience with the London shrunk yet, it appears to be a very nice & elegant fabric.

I wanted a no nonsense suit that I was extremely classic and versatile. I had considered smith botany, & lessers 13. But, I just trusted kotaro completely & the result was very good. I try not to micro manage when it comes to fabric. I trust that he’s handled and seen more fabric than I have. I’m paying for his expertise, so why not use it?
I’d be surprised if doesn’t have a gray in a similar fabric.
Here the cotton version (Caccioppoli) of a solaro suit, here by W.W. Chan. Got inspired by Daniel Meul (Pauw Mannen) for this order.

I think they both work for you, but I personally just like the Florentine cut more in general. I think the little bit of shoulder extension and chest drape goes a long way.On the subject of comparing cuts... Would be curious which style you guys think works better for me and why?
