So, returning to the query of Assisi. It’s somewhat irritating as a fan of their bespoke that a lot has modified previously few months, however I’ve been speaking to Min Soo and different new members of the staff not too long ago, and might set out the occasions and plans.
Assisi was purchased final 12 months by The Finery Firm, which is an Australian operation Joe Ha has been working since 2014; and Dabin from Assisi has left. I don’t know Joe or the operation, however I’m positive readers from that a part of the world can fill us in on any expertise they’ve had.
Considered one of issues TFC runs is bespoke tailoring, and the top cutter will now be Min Soo of Assisi. He’ll proceed to additionally oversee the handmade-to-measure at Assisi, which can be made by the identical staff in Korea.
TFC Bespoke is a distinct model from Assisi bespoke, however from what I’ve seen it’s very effectively made. They despatched me a swimsuit of Joe’s and I can attest to the standard of the work.
The model is extra structured and somewhat extra vintage-inspired than Assisi, with a pad within the shoulder and if something a wider shoulder than Assisi too. The notch is pretty low and the single-breasted has fairly a high-rolling, three button minimize. It emphasises a robust and masculine silhouette.
I’ve solely seen the one jacket, and have clearly by no means had something made, however it will likely be attention-grabbing to see extra when TFC come. That’s Joe in a swimsuit above. There’s a bit extra on Instagram right here.
The opposite half is Atelier Lavoro, which began a few years in the past and does classic Americana-inspired clothes, together with sack-style suiting that can be made by the Assisi staff in Korea.
They use numerous classic materials, and attempt to reinterpret previous American kinds. I used to be additionally despatched some examples of Lavoro and I do just like the model – I wouldn’t essentially purchase those I noticed, however it’s good to have the choice of shopping for MTM workwear when it’s executed effectively, and it will likely be good to see extra of the kinds in individual.
The pictures above and beneath are from Lavoro, and there may be extra on their Instagram right here, plus two on-line articles that cowl each – The Rake Japan and Mon Oncle journal.
When it comes to Assisi, personally I’d proceed to order MTM from them as I have already got a developed sample they’ll use. And even for others, the handmade to measure was superb when ranging from scratch.
