The Anthology RTW

[clee1982]

I personally think grey herringbone is the easiest to work with jeans/chino/dress pants

It’s roped with slight extension

I see. I want to try their Spalla Camicia shoulder style on the jacket, and their RTW collections don't provide this feature. I think having a commission in the trunk show is the only way to know it.

If you want spalla camicia I think there are quite a few choice out there, Besnard come to mind? I really dislike waterfall shoulder so that was a plus for me haha

Right, Besnard. Besnard sticks to Florentine style, which I'm not a fan of it. I love front darts. The roped shoulder exaggerates my shoulders too much, and the waterfall shoulder doesn't since my shoulders are strong.

I will try to grab the chance to join the Anthology's trunk show next time. I saw their pictures of the Suit Walk event 2024 in Taipei, Taiwan on Instagram. The Anthology style hit my sweat spot so hard.

ha maybe try Ring Jacket Armoury Model 3 as well (or even RJ's own 254 and 269?), though given how much Ring Jacket px has gone up probably better stick with Anthology anyway...

bonus point, Anthology's MTO turn around time was quick too (at least my very first commission)

Hahaha, I have the Armoury Model 3 Ring jackets already. They are great! I have model 253 and 269 suits via Rakuten online shopping from Ring Jacket Outlet. I found the Japanese models have shorter shoulder widths compared to Armoury's model 3. I like Ring Jacket a lot.

As per Anthology's MTO, I have a question that I'm kind of afraid to ask them.
What is the process of the MTO? Correct me if I'm wrong. Does the MTO only allow me to choose the size of the jacket and the fabric? Can I set the sleeve length or jacket length in MTO?
I have the Anthology's RTW in oatmeal herringbone jacket. The overall jacket fits me very well. The chest and shoulder are right on point. I only sent it to my tailor to shorten the sleeve length.

 

[clee1982]

best to ask them, I don’t even know if they do MTO in oversea trunk show, I did my first jacket (which now come to think about it was probably MtM) while I travelled to Taiwan, the 4x1 bespoke was done during NY trunk show (can’t do 4x1 DB via MTM).

If you can still do MTO for oversea I would think shoulder type/sleeve length/jacket length is probably part of it

Can anyone compare the fit/sizing of Anthology’s sport coats to the Armoury model 3? Model 3 in size 48 is my go to but I really like some of the Anthology models

 

[clee1982]

I’m probably the minority but I’m EU46/US36 (Anthology/PRL/RLBL/RLPL/Husbands Paris/Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole/Tom Ford/BB Milano/Kiton/Atolini/Canali/Corneliani/fashion brand on and on and on) between regular and short everywhere EXCEPT in mode 3 I’m EU44

I'm in size EU50/US40 (The Armoury/Anthology/Kiton/Canali/Ring Jacket/ Brunello Cucinelli) and between short and regular. If you are perfectly fit in your size in model 3 on your chest and shoulders, then the anthology also fits you well.

I like these in this order. Still uncertain with sizing so do not want to order...I wonder if they'll have a trunk show on the west coast in SF ever. It would be nice to try on their RTW in person.

All seem very versatile all-in-all.

 

[clee1982]

All good choices but what’s your weather like, don’t get tweed if you can’t wear it because too hot

Edit and for me personally darker color always work better so I have a preference for that not sure in your case

 

[gettoasty]

@clee1982 SF Bay Area so I think heavier jackets can work

Darker colors make sense for me, too. Especially in one of Dieworkwear's post on Twitter about black suits etc.

Model 3 vs anthology, which is bigger in EU50?

 

[clee1982]

I’m pretty sure in same size Model 3 is bigger than Anthology
