SWD Discussion Thread for Tailoring

Yeah I’m not great at articulating this kind of stuff with tailoring.
That fabric is great though.
I suppose I want a trad fabric like that but a very non trad cut. Something that leans Lemaire, Dries, Haider.

Uhhh not really like that Studio Nicholson one (i think it's madras?). I actually really dislike the cut on their blazer.

Tweed/Cashmere is probably a better description, and maybe "unstrcutred" is the wrong term, lightly padded shoulders wouldn't be bad.
It's hard to find anything like what I am after so it's hard to post examples.

This kind of cut:

loose, a bit elongated.

Basically every women's brand has something like this but of course menswear is 10 years behind

@OccultaVexillum not the right fabric, maybe need to wait for f/w but for the price range you stated would some like this Todd synder DB work?

Spoiler: Wythe Cut

The amount of women I see with the ideal
Blazer is infuriating. I go in to shops with my wife and it’s like even the dumbest m, cheapest shops have a couple of viable options.

This looks pretty good on the model, 6 button db is it ideal but that’s nitpicking

Speaking of women's blazers:

Menswear just needs to be ∼25 years behind and all will be well again, so close yet so far

Hell yes, orphan jackets the next frontier

not my size, and I don't think they're too deco/dandy to play, but if someone can do it here are some cheap phineas cole orphan jacket

by the way, 70s, or big fit aside, the "technical" swd tailoring seem all died down, can we have some stuff more like Abasi Rosborough arc jacket type of thing as well?

But then also conversely, while finding something loose and relaxed is very easy, it's proving near impossible (here in Sweden atleast) to find something akin to a more classic structured blazer or suit for women in smaller sizes, even with the more expensive brands. All the more annoying for my girlfriend, when meanwhile I thrift another vintage suit or jacket every other month or so for 10$-30$


(sure there's stuff like Ralph Lauren and Celine etc in a few flagship stores in Stockholm, but that's not in either of ours budget lol)

 

[clee1982]

How structure are we talking about, like blade runner big flat strong shoulder woman suit?

If not that extreme I would have thought something even like j crew would have a will defined shoulder line for average women suit

I like what Factor's is doing right now with their tailoring

What’s their typical look, I see their IG even has CM proper stuff on custom else I guess longer jacket, relaxed body but shoulder still probably still on point

Attending the wedding in a few days, just had a tailor let out the jacket sleeves and pant waist/thighs, also hemmed/tapered the pants a little. They still feel too tight, do they look too tight? The jacket sleeves also don't drape naturally cuz of the extra fabric but too late to make changes now. Should I wear the print collared shirt underneath or go with one of the tshirt? Thanks

pants are too short for my taste, prefer the length before

made that mistake before myself, and usually it's easily reversible if you haven't pressed them too much
