Hi, been reading this forum for a long time and decided to post for the first time

Currently commisioning linen sport jacket, just received the first fitting, any thought?

This is merely personal preference, but I would probably have gone for a bit more drape in the chest.

Since I’ve got my pattern down now I ordered this suit straight to finish with our tailoring shop. The only tweak needed at the final (and only needed) fitting was moving the buttons out by one cm.

Had a busy eight hours in Naples today meeting first Paone, then Cerrato and finally Luca Avitabile. At Paone I had five fittings, one of them was the second fitting of this linen suit. Not half bad I think. The trousers were however first fitting, they need a bit of cleaning but sure they will be great as well.

What commissions do you use Cerrato for vis-a-vis Paone?

What commissions do you use Cerrato for vis-a-vis Paone?

Normally I use Cerrato exclusively for all my pants and shorts, but for this linen suit I decided to have the trousers made together with the jacket. I however knew that Paone used an out-of-house trousers maker, but it was a bit ironic when I realised that the pants was actually made by Cerrato anyway lol. But good news is that he knows my pattern very well, and we actually adjusted it a bit yesterday for some other suit pants where the jackets will also be made by Paone.

I have thought about splitting my next suit commission and getting Marco to make the trousers and NsM the jacket. There are one or two very minor things Cerrato does better (including being willing to put stiffener in the waistband) that make me prefer his trousers, but its such a minor thing, and the NsM trousers are still a classic Neapolitan, i just haven't done it yet.

Picked up latest commission from Elia Caliendo. Lightweight blue flannel from Holland and Sherry.

Looks great. Interesting to see that Elia seems to cut much more closed quarters than most Neopolitans.

And also a pic on a vintage fabric from Scotland house I picked for a new DB from Sartoria Cresent, it's sort of a grayish brown wool mohair:

What are your thoughts on a wider collar?

I find them nice, however the raglan style I'm making will not be pressed as the one above, no lapel so when it's fully opened it will still be closed at the neck. Therefore I opted for a slightly more moderate size on the collar.

I've always wondered: do you have some sponsorship dealings with I Sarti Italiani?

Pretty sure I was clear in at least two other threads - I'm helping him organize his trunk show the first year, and in exchange for the work, my cost remains the same as when I stumbled upon him a few years ago. It's a handshake deal really, and a lot more work than I realized, and makes me glad I'm normally an electrician. I'll be glad when it's over.
