The cloth is truly amazing, coarser and at the same time moving with grace when worn. Although my significant other was first a bit reluctant at the "grandpa look" she thought it gave me, she finally admitted after three days that it was gorgeous. This just show that this cloth - and the tailor's work - is great enough to change a non educated mind in just a few hours
About the tailor (mutual riend I have with Costi), it is fair to mention that he did his work with no fitting, just an example of another coat he made for me when I was living in Bucharest, and my written indications... We only had a wrap up fitting when I collected items and nothing was to be changed. His ace job is even more to be noticed as he himself proposed to do the "one piece back and no front darts" when I was only used of having dartless coats from him... I remember reading here that great things can be achieved after years of connivance with one's tailor, I guess we're learning together quick!
I didn't spend 3 hours taking pics - just snapped a bunch just below the beautiful village Les Baux de Provence. Hence the obvious dropping shoulder and not so natural arm pose in the side pics, but you'll have to forgive me for that! On a side note, I thought of videotaping the jackets drape wen walking, it truly comes alive then... Will think of that.
Other pics of LL suits to come.
Best,
Guillaume
Keeping someone else warm...
Can it be worn better than that?
