That leopard-skin coat, if it's the real deal, is going to drive the animal-rights/PETA crowd crazy!

Re: A message from a Melbourne tailor + some of his work

l've been lucky enough to see his top bespoke on real clients. The suits look like they are painted on.

For those who think it looks messy on the dummy, that's because it's bespoke made for an unusual body type. lf you place some bespokes on dummies, naturally the true art isn't going to be exposed until the person wears it. Evenstill, people who appreciate fine things should be able to tell from the pictures that this is true quality. The colour sceme may not be to everyones taste, but the coat oozes class. 

lf people like FNB or Aportney wanted to try him out, i'd be happy to introduce them to him. Most people wouldn't get a look in, but some people would. He is a protected species and l mention him in hushed tones only, same goes with my shoemaker.

Yawn. Ugly lapels, built-up shoulders, but oh my god, he can pattern-match pockets (which any half-decent tailor can do). What a rockstar!

Re: A message from a Melbourne tailor + some of his work

Another half witted iGent obsession: sloppy, shapeless and unstructured shoulders. Thank God your tailors kicks them right out of the bloody door. If you are going to complain about structure in the shoulders why not complain about the structure in the chest and get your tailors to remove the canvassing and the domette.

As for the pattern matching at the collar - look at the way the pattern is well matched where collar meets lapel on both sides. That has been his first concern and that of matching at the back as second one. He has achieved a good balance.

By the way, the square shoulders in this case may be likely a result of the shape of the dummy as opposed to padding (another iGent obsession is x-ray vision of shoulder pads).

Re: A message from a Melbourne tailor + some of his work

Look how balanced that jacket is, it closes perfectly and remains completely clean. And look how good that collar is; such a massive coat, yet the opening is only slightly wider than the tie. You don't see much stuff like that, many bespoke collars l see posted online gape out abit and don't hug the neck as snugly as they could. Look how that collar angles down; see...fits properly and the suit won't move around as much, it will sit in one place and behave. That's why some of the biggest names in television are his clients, they want him to help them look their best.

When local tailors have trouble with tricky projects they only go to one man. The Melbourne tailor is a freak...a one off. There might be tailors as good, but they certainly have no pictures posted online.
