Hopefully we will be seeing other projects realized with the LL tweed in the coming months.
Clothes made from LL Limited Edition tweed
Some very beautiful clothes made by Japanese tailor Ishidahar from Kobe. The cloth used is the LL Limited Edition Gary Cooper tweed. Compliments to the LL member for the commission and Mr. Ishidahar for the excellent work.
Hopefully we will be seeing other projects realized with the LL tweed in the coming months.

What a wonderful overcoat. Had not considered using the cloth for anything other than a suit, but the DB overcoat is a truly stylish garment.
Congratulations
Congratulations
Mine is almost complete...waiting for me to find some time for the last fitting...will post pictures when I have itt completed...hopefully by December...will be in Paris mid-Dec...planning to wear it then.
Both examples are quite stunning. The fabric looks amazing. I wish I would have found the LL sooner so I could have gotten in on the purchase. I'm looking forward to seeing more finished works in the future!

Thanks. I have started wearing the suit,also either as a sportjacket or odd trousers. The cold season has just arrived in The Far East Asia ,after the oddly lengthy Autumn season.I am glad that i can finally wear them.
Please, pay more attention to the suit's dart line. It has just one dart on the front . My japanese tailor followed a Fiorentine tailoring method. The purpose was that he wanted comparatively large check-patterns untouched.

Dear Sir,
Very interesting. In the Florentine method you describe, the dart is not parallel to the front line of the coat, but angled at a 45 degree angle. Is this the case with this coat?
Compliments to you and your tailor.

The overcoat is fantastic. I'd love to see pics of the owner wearing it. I commisioned a single breasted overcoat with a brown base and bold black windowpanes 2 years ago and enjoy it immensely...there is something very pleasing about having a unique garment.

The Fiorentine style,which Sarto Liverano and Sarto Geminara have been famous for, inserts only one dart,yes 45"angle,underneath the sleeves.That leads to not interfering with the fabric's own patterns. On contrary to the suit jacket, i asked for "Manica Camicia" sleeves on the overcoat; the suit jacket has loped shoulders.
My own mentor in Florentine tailoring was the master Loris Vestrucci, he places the darts at a 45 degree angle under the sleeves as well. Its a beautiful thing to see. The results speak for them selves when it comes to large checks as is the case with your coat. The "manica camicia" for the OC was a superb choice. Bravo.
Hello, everybody. Toomanypleats, those coats are stunning. The peak lapels on the topcoat are gorgeous and wonderfully proportioned; the gorge and lapel widths on the suit coat are, for my taste, absolutely perfect. Bravo to you and your tailor!
Both garments are stunning, and the overcoat is really something special.
beautiful!!!
What is the address of this tailor?
Do they maybe have a website?
