I agree with what's been said so far. Personally, I find ostrich to be particularly unattractive whether for shoes or belts. I have seen photos of bespoke edward green in alligator, however, and they were quite stunning with their bevelled waist and chiselled toe. They were definitely flashy though.

which when you consider start at $2500 are a real bargain I had a pair of trousers made by Achod before Christmasand, price aside, I am very pleased with them. My problem is that I just moved to Toronto and can't justify going to Montreal for clothes. I figured I would just go to the Harry Rosen he...

I hear ya. I would never submit my bespoke or Borrelli to what I see you doing with those cameras! You'd be amazed at the lengths to which I go to avoid carrying things over my shoulder ;p You're right, Giovanni on St. Laurent is a different person and I was advised not to use him. I believe I have ...

armholes compared: my Borrelli vs. bespoke
I'm likely going to order a bespoke jacket or two as summer approaches. I've so far only had one made, and while I really love the jacket, it's not as comfortable as my Borrelli jackets. My main problem with it is the armhole. I would like to understand the problem as much as possible so that I can ...

I'm curious, where did you have it made? (this is gqgeek btw) I've been considering trying to find a cheaper tailor for my next jacket, but I couldn't bear the thought of getting something I was completely unsatisfied with in an attempt to save a few hundred bucks. I've been meaning to try out Giova...

This is admirable, on your part and on his. Honestly, I don't think customer loyalty is that uncommon, even today. What's uncommon is that a customer finds a reason to be loyal. I believe that when you find someone that treats you well, you should stick with them. Not only does it make the experien...

It would be my pleasure. The tailor's name is Achod Amassian and he's the head tailor at Harry Rosen's Montreal store. In case you're not aware, Harry Rosen is a high-end men's store in Canada. Contact info: 1455 Peel Street, Suite 227 (inside Les Cours Mont Royal) Montréal, PQ H3A 1T5 514.294.3315 ...

I thought i'd update this with new pics. I know, they still aren't pics of me wearing it, but they weren't taken while I was at the store, so you'll have to take my word that at the second fitting it was nearly perfect. And in case anyone is wondering, the puckering at the back is just lack of press...

Thanks for the reply, I would just like to point out that the pink cashmere jacket was not for me, it was one of several jackets shown to me by the tailor that were being made for another customer. Although I probably wouldn't have a jacket like that made until I had 20 others in my closet, it was s...

Perhaps I'm using the wrong name for the stitch employed. Maybe it's just some sort of decorative stitch, I'm really not sure because it's been a while since i've seen the finished garments and during my first fitting, i was admittedly paying more attention to how the jacket fit than anything else. ...

thickness of pick stitching
Gentlemen, when I've looked at the pick stitching on various RTW jackets both in person and on the internet, it's always looked like pin pricks to me. On the jacket I'm having made, the stitching is definitely more visible. I don't have the jacket in front of me so it's hard to say whether it's beca...

Leonard, i'm curious, in a previous post you said that "The collar, shoulders and chest look very good. Signs to a tailor that a coat will fit and look good upon completion." As far as the shoulders are concerned, I know what to look for, but I was wondering what it was that made you say that about ...
