When bespoke works right
I've been lurking here and have viewed the corresponding thread "When bespoke wishes and fabric dreams go wrong". Well, I don't know what to think anymore... I like a lot of the things posted there.
So, what do you think looks good?

I think this is a good idea for a thread. I can't think of anything at the mo, but I'll keep an eye out.

Bad idea, IMO.
It's all a matter of personal taste and context, no matter what approach one subscribes to..

Re: When bespoke works right
I'm not seeing the awesomeness of the Jeffery(sp) jacket, although he has sorted out his own hunched shoulders and crane neck, unlike Manton who as usual has been poorly served by his tailor.

Re: When bespoke works right
That Manton jacket has so much wrong with it that it's a joke. But quite apart from the technical deficiencies, it makes the owner look appalling. It is typical of the igentry that this crucial fact is passed over in search of brilliant things to say that show that the igent is privy to the innermost secrets of the craft.
I suggest the establishment of a masonic lodge - perhaps called 'Satorialis' (which has a satisfactorily archaic ring) - which igents can join. That way they can play happily with all the other little boys who think that life is so much sweeter when you know secret things, and leave the grown ups alone.

Re: When bespoke works right
There's a place for bland, quiet outfits. It can work very well for some specific roles / personas.
