That is an amazing fabric!
Wow! That's one hell of a suit. Do you have more detail shots of the trousers? Is the sleeve cuff folded back or seamed on to a shorter sleeve to simulate a cuff? How about the jacket back?
While the owner thinks it's Shantung silk, I disagree and would categorise it as Dupioni, because of the more prominent slubbing. But then, he's got it in his hands and I don't! The very prominent slubbing and the size of the slubs is more defining than any other feature, for these two silk types.
How about the jacket back?
Resortes, I am shocked to be taking exception at your post, as I know your expertise. But Macintosh did custom suits. Did you perhaps mean "wouldn't" Or do you know something I don't? I looked up the old post I posted on the Macintosh suit years ago. Oddly, for some reason I never saw your last post on the popularity with Philipino men. I was gratified to find that my theory might be correct. Thanks for the info on that one.
I've always assumed Macintosh did tailored RTW suits; I stand corrected!
reference to the earlier suit on the thread
something about saddle pockets
