Nice.
I'm actually looking at them as one of my options to get a formal waistcoat made, if I'm unable to find one used/vintage. They're the only ones I've found thus far who make one in the silhouette I'm looking for -- all the department-store-brand places either don't do lapels on D.B. waistcoats, or make them with points on the bottom. [huh]
The good news is, I can get a double-breasted model from them for only ¥1,000 more than the price of a single-breasted one. The bad news is, a single-breasted waistcoat costs ¥42,000...

Thats very quick research! They are expensive, but perfectionists!
There is also Azabu Tailor that does good work...do you know them? I have a jacket made for Y60,000. I believe they make all their suits in Osaka! Come to think of it...I have a coat too...will post pics soon...

But it's so long (24" according to the salesperson who emailed me)... I'd need to either stretch my torso, or wear my trousers around my hips.daizawaguy said:
