Cheers mate - looks amazing, the Linen does tend to make it more of a Sports Jacket feel personally. I was looking at the Model 1 Mohair on Drop93 but it will definitely look more like an orphaned jacket so I may just hold off for now on some different designs/full suits to pop up although I doubt they will.

Yea texture and pattern matters a lot, I have TF sport coat with very structured strong shoulder but no way someone would think that as orphan jacket

SWD Discussion Thread for Tailoring

Would love to see this in practice with a heavier selection of pics of different body types. Otherwise most of the looks in this thread feel like aspirational fantasy for those of us average Joes outside the 1% that are built like the lean, angular models that effortlessly benefit from the...

edit: I would think mohair/wool blend for sport coat is pretty common though, I wouldn't write mohair off for sport coat, but if "you" think it looks like orphan jacket, definitely skip

Those Lapels are incredible! And I'd agree that it doesn't look at all orphan. I have tried on an Edward Sexton Jacket by itself and although it had a pair of matching trousers it did not look like a orphan Jacket at all.

In all honestly it probably is my indecisiveness talking since a few years ago I did fall in the trap of buying standalone suit Jackets to act as sports jackets! I've grabbed a model 3 at 50% off so I'll see how I get on with that since the Model 253 and 254 fit amazing TTS.

Anyone here familiar with the RJ overcoats? How do they fit?

Little slim, I would size up for a more classic look, especially if you want to wear a sport coat or a suit underneath.

If you're looking for size 48, ping me...

If I had to size down, yours would be perfect.

Anyone have firsthand experience with the YF designed Armoury shoes? And maybe a comparison to others in similar pricepoint? (Carmina, et al)

Went into the Tribeca shop late last week and checked out some of the new FW stock. Really great stuff! To my eye the tailoring looked a little restrained on the site but definitely shone in person. Some standouts:

- The Wool/Silk Model 15 in glen check: this fabric really sings with the brown/olive/bordeaux colors working together so well. Much richer in color than it looks on the site. Hope to pick one of these up later in the season.

- The Wool/Cashmere Model 16 in herringbone: remarkably comfortable and very elegant in an old Hollywood sort of way. I don't think I can pull it off, but if you're looking for a DB this is outstanding.

- A new city hunter in a brown tartan wool: Alex referenced vintage Pendleton sportster jackets as an inspiration for this one, which has a very cool West coast x Ivy feel.

The navy wool/silk herringbone Model 3 looks great too. It's not on the website yet.

Does anyone have experience with how wool/silk blend typically wears, compared to pure wool?

Any tips on a first time MTM experience with RJ?

Certain things to wear/bring? Expectations and questions?

Been to an RLPL, I showed up in t-shirt/jeans/sneakers. They had a sample shirt and shoes for me while being measured.

Ideally show up in something close/close enough to what you'd intend to wear it with. Gives them a much better jumping off point to work from.

What @ericgereghty said, wear a decent fitting shirt, and shoes you would be likey to wear with finished garment.

You should expect to be fitted, so go in with at least some idea of the model you want…. You could certainly get fitted for more than one model, but many more that two or three might be excessive. Also, have at least an idea of what you plan to order….. suit or sport coat, color, summer weight, winter weight, from there they can guide you through fabric books. Then you’ll be asked for details like pocket configuration, buttons lining, etc…..

None I checked out but seems like there's a new flannel number on the site:

Wool Flannel Model 3A Suit - The Armoury

I'd also note there's some real nice Armoury suits on Drop93 that were just added!

That Dormeuil flannel they added looks super snappy. Not REALLY my style, but if it hangs around long enough I’d likely grab it on one of the sales.
But, definitely check D93 every Friday haha.

Thanks fellas, much appreciated!
