Who're Manton's past and present tailors? I just want to avoid them.
Film or Marc,
Does Corvato cut the armhole based on chest measurements also?
Concerning Savile Row tailors, any comments on Mahon? I do not ask this question likely, or am I trying to start a war, just trying to learn a little from members. From what I have seen and heard, he seems to be very good (talent and personal)(not withstanding the vest that was cut too high). I admit I am not the most knowledgeable, so I often follow the lead of opinions of people I respect, hence the question.
Thanks,
Yea, I don't understant the bold part either, I did not bold it on purpose as in your quote of my message. But in my original message nothing is bold on my screen

Ah. OK. The only nit that I would pick is that the one on the left could have an ever so slightly higher buttoning point and a slightly lower vest. The first is just a personal thing and no biggy. Both full suits look very nice indeed.
Ken,
No problem. Both Tom and I were in agreement that the vest is a bit high, which may also not help with making the coat's buttoning point look too low. While I like my suit, that Rubinacci is something else when seen in real life: one of the most amazing suits I've ever seen.

Let's all try to be a little gentler, please. Say what you honestly think but no need for the added "umphs".
Thanks Ed, ausmith, and Ken for all your comments --- they are much appreciated. The suit's dimensions are all whatever Tom wanted to make it. Being the first suit, I decided to put everything into his hands, and see how it came out. In real life, it is a rather elongating silhouette, but I thought the lapels may actually be a bit narrow, but who knows?
The next order up is a classic 6x2 double-breasted in a 13 oz navy chalkstripe worsted.
