Thoughts on Mawson Ossa tailoring?
Can add a bit on my thoughts after having a jacket made with them and have a matching trouser coming along. The jacket was their "semi-bespoke" line and the trousers are MTM (I don't care for hand detailing on pants and I fit into their base model very well).
I'd say their cut is somewhat similar to what you see from the contemporary Asian tailors - a take on Neapolitan with the soft shoulder but with wider lapels and higher rise trousers. I wish my jacket was cut a bit wider and a touch longer (just like you pointed out on their archive stock) for a slouchier look. I admire Grant's fits and the cut on his personal jackets are much looser and longer. I did chat to him during his Perth trunkshow asking if they can make my next jacket slouchier like theirs and they're definitely accommodating to it. I wonder if he thinks many customers are too used to slim suits and he feels like they can't loosen up too much or customers will complain it doesn't fit and is too baggy.
I can add some thoughts on the trousers when I receive them. Picking them up when I'm back in Sydney.
On another note, the shirts that Mawson Ossa push are really interesting. Heavy weight linen shirting with what looks like jacketing weight linen fabric. Doesn't seem to crinkle and just looks so damn good. Very tempted but quite pricey - especially since that particular fabric incurs additional costs.
