A very nice display of good taste and good tailoring. The former is more important in my book.

You might ask Antonio to reduce the back rise on the trousers 1 cm or so (ridurre il montante di dietro That should eliminate the folds of cloth at the back of the thighs.

The bubble of cloth between your blades has occurred because of your stance while photographing yourself. Not an ounce of concern here so change nothing.

The gunclub was a great choice and it looks very well on you.

I would say you look better than what one would expect to see in Naples (even though everything was made there) and that is to your credit.

Thanks for generously posting your image.

Very nice. I noticed some comments on the length. I think it's perfect, but then I am not a major fan of Thom Browne. I also find the checked patterns the right size for a sportcoat. I would probably opt for smaller patterns if you go for a full suit.

Thanks a lot for sharing. Great inspiration for my next sportcoat.

"The bubble of cloth between your blades has occurred because of your stance while photographing yourself. Not an ounce of concern here so change nothing. "

Even to the untrained eye, this "bubble" unduly stands out. The reference to the "stance" creating the "bubble" is confusing, as it appears that the photo is either taken by another or on a tripod. This appears to be a naturally-occurring standing position.

I think Anna shows that you can add shape to a shirt without adding tightness

I very much agree that a shirt shouldn't adhere to the body to be considered well-tailored, but rather follow its contour without tension in the cloth. Freedom of movement is essential to comfort.

Aristide, I think the subject of the picture unconsciously pulled his shoulders back while standing to be photographed. When standing in a relaxed manner or walking the extra cloth most probably distributes itself in the right places.
