Beautiful fabric in the hands of a skilful tailor leads to great results:

Dear Hristo,
Congratulations and thank you for sharing! BB, it would be great to see a less 'compressed' picture to really appreciate your tailor's job and your choices. Hristo, the jacket has a 'vintage' flavour (belt, shape of the lapels, pockets); was there a particular source of inspiration for this project? Also looking forward to a photo of you wearing the jacket - that would be great! Congratulations again to both. We might need a Molloy Appreciation Thread soon

Thank you for the positive responses.
The jacket was inspired by this photo that I found on the Internet(the belted suit with stripes in the middle):

I could post photo wearing it later this year as soon as there is a cold and sunny day in Munich.
Until then I attach a photo of the backside from the second fitting.

Any special reason to go ventless?

This is my first ventless jacket and I am simply curious, how would it work for me. I give it a try.hectorm wrote:Any special reason to go ventless?

Thank you, Hristo. Yes, the vintage inspiration (and its brilliant execution) was quite clear. I really like the cut of the jacket as seen from the back. The breast pocket stands out a bit as a modern detail (vintage ones used to have a smaller welt). Looking forward to seeing the jacket on you. Enjoy! Funny enough, I also gave my tailor a different shot from that same series of shop windows for a sport jacket.HristoStefanov wrote:The jacket was inspired by this photo that I found on the Internet(the belted suit with stripes in the middle):

I was in Ireland this morning, it was 6.30 and I was having a walk across a bog.

What a beautiful place. No wonder tweed comes out from such places.

Mind boggling Donegal suit, Federico. Congratulations.
Be careful when you go down and cross the Woolwich foot tunnel so well dressed
