First Fitting of My New Double-Breasted Fox Flannel Suit | Paolo Martorano Bespoke | Kirby Allison

In today’s video, I return to bespoke tailor Paolo Martorano’s atelier in New York City for the first fitting of a truly special second commission: a double-breasted suit cut from the iconic Fox Flannel. And what better second commission to follow up my single breasted Smith Woolens Finmeresco than a double-breasted suit in another iconic cloth! Known for its unmatched drape, depth, and character, Fox Flannel has long been celebrated as one of the finest cloths in the world—a timeless choice for those who appreciate understated elegance. At this early stage, we begin to see the suit come to life. The basting stitches reveal the framework of Paolo’s precise craftsmanship, while the double-breasted silhouette starts to hint at the power and presence the final garment will command. Paolo guides me through this critical moment of the bespoke process, where adjustments are made to perfect the balance, posture, and drape that define true bespoke tailoring. As always, Paolo’s attention to detail and pursuit of perfection are on full display. This is where the artistry of bespoke shines—where cloth, cut, and craft begin to harmonize into what will ultimately become a one-of-a-kind suit destined for my wardrobe. Join us for this intimate glimpse into the bespoke journey, and witness how Fox Flannel and Paolo Martorano’s tailoring come together to create a garment of enduring sophistication.
