I have always felt that the cut and fit of a
suit is most important thing, even more
important than the design... I would rather
have a good looking, fitting suit with a
gorilla on it than an accurately studded
suit that fits like a pair of pajamas!
I pride myself on the cut of my suits. I draft
patterns to my customers exact
measurements, and cut suits not just to fit,
but to flatter.
If you look at any of the real jumpsuits, you
can see that they are built to flatter the
upper body. To achieve this effect,
shoulders are painstakingly constructed
using wadding, layered padding and
sleeve heads. Fine tailoring incorporates
exhausting amounts of hand stitching. That
is perhaps the #1 earmark of a fine suit.
You will see a lot of hand stitching on my
suits, including the hem, up the lapels, and
in the collar and sleeves.
The Italian cut sleeve cuffs part evenly at
the bottom of the wrists. On cheaper suits,
the parts will point out to the sides or look
uneven. Kick pleats should remain closed
while the legs are straight and still, not
hanging open constantly. The pant legs
should feel natural and flow nicely from
just above the knee to the hem.
Dart placement also adds to the flattering
effect of the cut as well. The front has
single darts on either side, and the back
has double darts on each side.
The artwork for all design patterns are
based on the original suits. I have spent
hundreds of hours studying countless rare
pictures looking for the details and layout
of the designs. These are not copies of
copies. There is no way to guarantee
every last detail will be exactly 100%
correct on some obscure suits, no one can,
no matter what they claim. I can honestly
say, however, that my artwork has been
done to the best of my ability with a very
critical eye for detail.
All "white" suits are made with off-white
unless otherwise requested. The original
suits were off white.
As difficult as the suits are to recreate, the
belts are even harder since most of the
buckles from the 70's are impossible to find.
Every effort is made however, in
recreating the belts, to give as close an
effect as possible to the originals.
If you have any other questions or
concerns, please email me with the
question or request.
