You've got all the basic food groups covered, Cruz, with your choice of suits. You don't see such robust chalkstripe cloth these days with this latest suit. Nice!

I think that jacket length is perfect too. I was about to say "strikingly perfect," but that's not right because it doesn't really call attention to itself. But it does seem to be a tad shorter than prevailing orthodoxy. Or do I just not know what I'm talking about?

Re: Mimmo Siviglia: The Making Of A Maestro
Thanks guys.
Those mock sleeves are sewn only to enhance the presentation and tidiness of the fitting. Contrary to my initial impression, these temporary sleeves are not used for creating or adjusting the pattern of the actual sleeves. Everything is done by eye. Not at all surprising that Mimmo Siviglia can pull things off so well by eye if you consider he has been designing and engineering patterns for both RTW and custom garments for over 50 years.
The boutonniere embroidery is called "asola luminosa" (literal translation: luminescent buttonhole), probably because the stitching of the silk is so dense it reflects light in a particular way. I like it a lot, but I also like the idea of jackets without lapel holes -- something I first saw from Mimmo Siviglia.

Looks like a very comfortable outfit. I am also a believer in well cut, well fitted tweeds.

If you put 15% cashmere in it I guess it's no longer a tweed?
