Bespoke dark brown fresco suit (IN PROGRESS)

This is my first-ever bespoke suit, entrusted to the renowned master Błoński. For many months, I gathered knowledge and inspiration from male style influencers, articles, and photos on the Internet. Finally, the time came to “pull the trigger.”

My body:

- Quite short (5'8")

- Slim, slightly muscular (170 lbs)

- Large, bald head; long and muscular neck

- Slightly sloping shoulders (developed trapezius muscles)

- Straight posture

- Strongly muscular calves

Goals:

- A versatile, moderately formal suit, to be worn as a whole or broken down into parts.

- Maximum visual optimization of my figure (built shoulders, lots of elongating vertical and diagonal lines, elongation of the leg line).

Inspirations:

- Roman style — lightness at the bottom, structure at the top.

- Dark Academia aesthetics — for the color and lapels on the vest.

Material: Fresco Lite — breathable, lightweight fabric, because I get hot very easily at practically any time of year: https://www.hfwltd.com/single_piece/510211

Color: very dark brown (actually dark rust) — in my collection instead of gray; resonates with my Dark Autumn color palette.

1. Single-breasted jacket

- Full canvas with a soft construction

- Notched lapels, 10 cm (suitable for a large head), slightly rounded

- Lapel in standard position, 90 degrees, aiming at the upper edge of the shoulders

- 2 buttons

- Elongated and fairly filled shoulders

- Rather classic length, but very open sides for optical leg lengthening

- Barchetta

- Flap pockets — probably tucked in most of the time

- Half lining for maximum breathability
