I ordered a sport coat from them RTW - amazing quality and fit once tailored.

The Anthology’s camel overcoat is definitely a masterpiece. I just picked one up and couldn’t be happier with the hand work. Do you have any recommendations for getting sports coats in corduroy and tweed with the same level of quality? Would you say Spier and Mackay and Suit Supply’s Custom options are close to the level of Anthology? Thanks

How's the shoulder extension? Seems substantial yet just right.

Would like to orde from them but would like to do what you did, and that is try on a jacket first.

The gorge on this jacket seems the lowest of all your jackets, and it’s beautiful don’t get me wrong. May I know the gorge height of this jacket? It could be measured from the shoulder line down to it.

Great video. But ----being a menswear enthusiast and expert, and an Ivy-trained professor (at least for part of your education), maybe you should be a little more precise in language usage. You continuously describe this jacket as "custom tailoring", as done so in your headline for this video. The word "custom" in the sartorial sense should be reserved for instances when a tailor measures you, creates a pattern for YOU and cuts the garment and creates a final product to your exact specifications and measurements...all from scratch. This is Made to Measure, where some "customization" is possible, but you're still starting from a pattern that is made for everyone...a block RTW pattern. I know you're using the word "custom" in the most general of senses. But you may create more confusion than clarification by not being careful. Notwithstanding your ...ahem..."relaxed" language, the jacket is beautiful. We Ivy Leaguers (me: Princeton undergrad and Yale law) should keep each other in check. :).
