The lower gorge has a more retro look to it. old school feel some may say.

The first jacket really accentuates your dropped shoulder.

The lower gorge looks classic and much more relaxed. I hope to see it on some RTW releases in the future.

Edit: I would tend to agree with the poster above. It does seem to accentuate the shoulders, so I would lean against opting for a lower gorge for those with overly sloped or narrow shoulders.

Reminds me a lot of the type of cut Maslow likes to do for his commissions. I'd say quite a few asian tailor houses have something somewhat similar. Anthology, Prologue, B&Tailor Etc.

Lower gorge is cool— I think it works well in the context of @Burzan’s styling. No tie, casual shirting fabric, etc., and many jackets to choose from.

I see what you mean, I think I am also just standing pretty slouched which is not helping lol. Here's a couple more data points.

i think you’re bang on the money here, I’m a fan of all these makers mentioned and I love the lower gorge too.

@Burzan too funny, just finalized an MTM order lower gorge, myself! I think it looks great in your latest pics

Nice! Any preview of the cloth?

Now I get a little time with this one to see how I like it before I have to make a quick decision on styling details of the summer tweed when it drops.

@Burzan that looks to be a worsted check jacket? is it?

I've been looking for a tweedy looking jacket, but without the warmth, I run very hot.

Where is that fabric located in MTO?

How much was that jacket?

yeah I take it back, this looks great, doesn't look nearly as low as I thought.

 

[Torzano]

I don’t think you went low enough.

Wow the slouching was dramatic!

In these pics, the gorge looks very good actually!! On the first it felt too low.

Something I've never really considered, but I think @Burzan illustrates well here is that a higher gorge may appear better balanced on gentlemen with more shoulder slope.

edit: Not to disparage your jacket, which looks nice. I just think higher looks better on you.

No, I totally agree. I think the higher gorge gives a bit of a broadening look to the shoulders. It’s very flattering and why it’s my go to.

Are there going to be pre orders for the dieworkwear summer tweed?

No, AFAIK summer tweed is MTM & MTO only, no OTR.
