What alterations could you do with MTO? You mentioned buttoning points?

only the length. added 1cm. i sorta worried how it would affect the balance, wondering if it would make the buttoning point look off. but it did not—actually, it improved it on me quite a bit IMO.

Excellent looking jacket and fit. Nice to see you finally in one that you'll be hanging on to.

yes!
hoping to kop some more trousers in the coming months. my jacket collection is in a really great place right now, so I need to get my trouser collection in the same place.
but then… THEN! i totally want to MTO a gray flannel suit in POW with sky blue deco or something killer.

Excellent fabric! I'm looking to replace my emerald green S/S jacket, I'll have to take a close look at the book you selected this from!

Picked up my Brown Slub from the tailors. Not the best pics, but an awesome coat!

@spiermackay On the topic of MTM jackets would your maker be able to accommodate for slightly sloped shoulders? OTR fits me pretty well but I notice that the jackets I had made are a tad more comfortable and cleaner in the shoulder.

Guys, which one of these would you get? Consider: I already have the mid gray (which I love) and a blue suit from SS.

Or

El azul.

El gris ya lo tengo y lamento no ejecutar comprar el azul. El gris me encanta, la llevo siempre. Pero ya no quedan tallas en el azul, y aun quedan muchos de los grises. El azul es muy oscuro, y por eso me encanta mas. El nuevo es un poco mas brillante y por alguna razon que no se como explicarlo, pero el azul este de VBC, para mi, se ve mas neapolitano. Encima de todo eso, el sharkskin charcoal nuevo de VBC es casi el mismo color que el gris de la temporada pasada. El azul es un color unico, me encanta.

MTM yes. Our MTM is made from a scratch pattern, not off the block. Technically it's a bit more advanced then typical MTM.

Nice! Thanks I will consider it. Didn’t knew you had the VBC charcoal.

Hey Rick,

I sent you a PM last night regarding the order I placed on Sunday. I haven't received any notification as of yet.

Cheers.

Hi all - been considering the VBC gray blue windowpane suit but wondering if I should play safe with the med gray Neapolitan suit - thoughts? Current rotation is mainly plain blue suits.

Here are the 2 in question.... would be very grateful with any feedback.
