The Charlie Rose show archives are useful for watching bespoke suits in action. There are some more promising examples of elegance to be found.
Perhaps Michael would like to comment on art dealer Guy Wildenstein's dress:

(see particularly his standing closeup at 03:15, and his seated closeup at 09:15. I find the colours flattering and refined.)
And here is Caraceni, probably, in action on Luca di Montezemolo. I suspect Michael will find the shoulders a bit narrow, but note the tie space on the shirt:

Philippe de Montebello in a relaxed, seigneurial three-piece:

And of course Bernard-Henri Levy in indefatigably Parisian mode:

Yes, I agree that Mr. Weinstein has selected a good set of colors but then again I am a great believer in light to mid grays in general. The Stefan Ricci looking tie and shirt collar please me little. It’s a pity the collar, deprived of tie space, is bunched over itself and strangles a knot that is otherwise sober and elegant.
There are a few things Weinstein could do to improve his dress. Raising the notch on the DB and shortening the coat length would do wonders. He should also put in a call to Monsieur Colban or Michael Drake.
(Nota bene: the above remarks are intended for the private use of LL eleganti and concern Mr. Weinstein's dress as presented on the Charlie Rose show. These remarks should not be construed as representing an estimation of Mr. Weinstein’s character, competence as an art dealer, writer, father of a fine family, entrepreneur, patron of the arts, lover of classical music, gastronome, golf enthusiast, founding member of his yacht club, secret member of the IRA, Egyptologist, or any other real or imagined memberships in secret societies including but not limited to affiliations, corporations, limited partnerships of any kind, cabals, brothels or sauna clubs.)
I think I covered all the bases so we won‘t have people rushing to his defense.
Whew

Luca di Montezemolo
The more I see of the man the more I believe that he is one of the best dressed men in the world.

I b'lieve The Economist once described him as "dapper to a fault" (philistine...s).
Luca di Montezemolo
One of the best tailors in the world has selected Luca di Montezemolo as the posterboy for his Sartoria. If Rubinacci had chosen Rin Tin Tin instead of the president of Ferrari, we would be celebrating him as the best dressed man (on four legs.)
Seriously speaking, we can’t see much of him in this interview though what we see is qu9ite well done. He has had the good sense to unbutton his DB coat for the interview and that reveals a minimum of savvy.
We have a picture of Mr Montezemolo in a light blue DB coat that may chill some of the enthusiasm though, generally speaking, of the photos I have seen he is quite smart.
Cheers

Here are pictures of the posterboy for Rubinacci pere.
Its a feast for the eyes. The houndstooth coat is just amazing and the picture of de Sica in the jumper and silk scarf is as well.
