Great write up! Actually since that post I got and returned a Red Label (Tailored Cut) suit and got the Core Filarte instead.
I wholeheartedly agree with your evaluation. The fit on the Core Contemporary is significantly better, and the fabric is nicer. Plus, due to the sales running it was the same price anyway ($254)!
I just got it back from the tailor for hemming, and have zero regrets on making the exchange

501 STF Sizing?
As in, they wind up at the marked size after shrinking, so you should order your real size instead of going up?

Hmmmm, meanwhile someone on Reddit said it was typical and theirs shrank to size. Now I don't know what to do, lol

Ha yes the pants are completely unhemmed. They're actually folded up to my mid shin here.

Anyone know where to get a jacket like this ...
Maybe Fjallraven? They often put the logo on the hip or sleeve.

Thanks for the insight. I went with the Red Label as I don't wear tailoring that frequently, but can always return if the fit/quality isn't there

Side note: How major are the quality differences between the Red Line, Dino Filarte and Vitale Barberis Canonicol versions of this suit? There's a $100 jump in price between each (before sales)

I also don't know how the first two coats have the same measured length when the brown one is clearly longer when worn

The Neo 40R is roughly a full inch longer. Would that be too long?
