    This jacket is lovely. I really like the 1950s leisure look.

    Loro Piana has this sweter jacket in their collection for "ages". Uncostructed jacket , cotton or cashmere depending on the season. It's amazing to wear - soft, light, good for travel. Normal its a 3 button, longer jacket with a Leather detail on the undercollar combined with a pair of chinos white shirt and a pair of loafers and you will be the king of the world. Aristocratic look.

    Seeing the videos together is nice, but redundant. A more interesting video would be a deep dive into how the final bespoke garment fit you so much better than the sample in the first video. Both looked equally good. A video getting into the details in a side by side comparison next time you are in NYC would be a nice touch.

    Hello Mr. Allison,
    You recently had 3 different suits profiled. Hemrajani double breasted, Flusser pinstriped 3 piece, and the Jensen suit. It might be interesting to see a comparison video. All 3 are amazing garments, but I would love to see a compare and contrast. Fit, cut, details, buttons, finishes, shoulders, fabric etc.
    Also welcome back from the UK. One more question what is your go to suit? What suit is your work day suit? The suit you know is easy, comfortable, and you know you will look and feel good in?
    Thanks as always. Keep up the great work.

      @@Bigwave2003 That's ridiculous. Let's say I got 100k to my name right now. I could easily afford to get a jacket for 3k and it would be completely worth it to me, but I am by no means at a level of wealth where I don't have to ask about the price. That's not even close to "being rich".

    Hey Kirby, as an aspiring gentlemen I want to know how can you afford all these bespoke items? Were you born in a good standing family? In south eastern Europe it would be very hard to get all these items, becauae there is no one to make them and wages are low.
