In the name of brotherly love,

I offer you a disected Pal Zileria Sartorial line blue blazer
(if you think I am going to cut up an oxxford you are flipping nuts!)

But which of the 16 current threads does this belong in??
Whatthe hell, I'll put it in all of them!

Holy Jumping Fusing Ovens!
The collar is machine padded and fused!!!

I do that nearly every day (at least every day that I am at work). Very exciting stuff, that jacket-opening business.

The next step is the creation of a gigantic Wicker Suit. Whom shall we burn?

Some of the Kiton pictures are incomplete and do not show the whole story. If at all possible, the horse hair is generally jobbed out at all shops, and then cut exactly once on the shop floor, can you get a view that allows you to see how many layers and what type of layers are used? I find on the few units I have looked at, they are getting really thin, down to two or three layers max.
