[KATO WORKS]1/6 Don Draper 60's style suit interest

[KingGrayskull]

Isn't the MIB suit 3 buttons (while the Don Draper one shown in the first post is 2 buttons)? Main reason I ask:

If it is a 3 button grey suit that is going to be made, i'll be in for a set.

You think what I think?

 

[MarfMaster]

Maybe we can get both versions made, and get this project fast-tracked!

What do you think Kato? Two more interested if you can do a 2 and 3 button version...

PM for you Marf. G'night everyone!

I understand where you're coming from, but I feel that the MIB suit VERY closely matches Don's suit, especially if it's ammended to 2 buttons. I'm not sure I could find fault with it if it were tailored with the absolutely perfect fabric that Kato has already sourced. There are the vertical seams on the MIB jacket, but I think those would hardly be visible amongst the sharksin fabric. Are you able to point out any aspects of the MIB suit that you're concerned with not matching up with Don's suit (compare the pics of TLJ with those on page 1)?

I love Toria's work, but I honestly think this suit, in sharksin, with 2 buttons, will be perfect!

" There are the vertical seams on the MIB jacket "<=== what does it means pls?

I was referring to these seams here:

Marf, thanks for clearing that up, I'd been away for a while and it seemed I'd missed something there.

ShortRound, I've sent Kato my deposit. Looking forward to a classic 2-button suit for Draper!

No problem at all, thanks for keeping the ball rolling!

Absolutely

Unfortunately Kato will only be offering the 2 button, but if that isn't a deal breaker for you guys, you should hop on.

 

[MarfMaster]

Just sent my deposit as well

 

[Kato.E]

Pls kindly edit the first page that up to now just Marfmaster and gluff old bear has paid the deposit.

Thx!

No reason to upgrade to a just 95% accurate, awesome suit. But I still do have to pay for my Joker stuff and Wayne suit anyway.

Good news, folks!

Though somewhat of a compromise, Kato has agreed to start this project with 7 out of the 10 deposits IF we approve his use of his recently developed Men in Black suit pattern, instead of having him create an all new pattern for Don. This means that he would basically create the Men in Black suit (amended to accurate 2 button, instead of 3) using the accurate "sharkskin" fabric that was teased earlier in the thread.

If you are on the list, satisfied with this direction, and ready to send the deposit, please make it known. I have requested more photos of the MIB suit from Kato for everyone's reference, as well. Once all seven of us are confirmed, we can get started!

Kato, can you confirm that this suit will come with the pocket square?

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

For anyone who is uncomfortable claiming it's a gift, "payment owed" right below "gift" will also assign the charge to you instead of Kato.
