First becoming for the Rubinacci cashmere jacket, with Mariano. A good few changes at this, basted stage. Dropping proper shoulder barely, shortening left sleeve (although the sleeves have been a greater size than another tailor has bought them first time) and squaring the neck barely.

I used to be to see how cosy the match was on the waist – what I needed, looking back, however nonetheless comparatively shocking. Clearly nothing to see at this stage by way of the work or new components just like the unlined sleeves, but it surely’s progressing properly.

The subsequent phases, the ahead becoming and making of the chest and shoulder, will hopefully be in Naples and so could also be delayed a number of weeks.
