Fitting of the Taylor and Lodge LGB Sharkskin in medium grey. OMG it is so boring. It is exactly what I wanted it to be.

The jacket buttoning point and trousers rise look very far apart?

 

[jonathanS]

Oh do tell.

does it look good and fit comfortably for you?

Looking at doing some Lobb St. James boots with wax calf. Anyone familiar with this leather? How hard is it to maintain it?

The drawstring hanging past the knees is QUITE the assertion of dominance...

That's...and big...ahem....string

 

[The Chai]

I have a 3 piece inspired by goldfinger inspired planned at some point

It's obviously not done, but it looks like you're setting up to have quite a lot of shirt triangle with the current configuration.

Yeah, the buttoning point vs. the trouser rise was something that we talked about and took a couple of new measurements on this week. I was specifically happy about the sleeve lenght relative to the shirt I was wearing - it was more in line with what we've been after. The trousers were well and good on length, but we talked about rise and tings on the next pairs of trousers being made for me. It was a good transitiional fit visit.

Perfectly timed for Christmas. Collected this in Florence yesterday

Rarely, if ever, see pocket squares in topcoat pockets.
Thoughts?

Ugh

Overkill and affected

Concur. 1000%

Much more commonly see gloves poking out of that pocket

Yes, gloves = ok
Pocket square = no

Will be fascinating to see how your tailor fixes those quarters.

What problem do you see with the fronts?

What problem do you see with the fronts?

I know that this question was not directed at me, but I will offer my $0.02 anyway. As someone that prefers open quarters on a jacket, I find this example to be much too extreme. There is a huge X created by the way the quarters falls away from your thighs/hips. This may be somewhat mitigated when buttoned, but I cannot imagine that it will be remedied altogether.

It’s really bad. You oughta look into finding a new tailor.

That's a thought, but it's not the most likely of outcomes here.

What is your issue with the fronts?

 

[Rbpp]

The white basting threads are supposed to run vertically, and the pockets are usually parallel to the ground. The 2 sides of the jacket look slanted.
