Love the history lesson...

OMG-- I Love this Tailor!! Wondering where he is located, so I can take a few of my women's suits to him... Love the colorful lining prep and matching contrasting thread idea. Some off-the-rack jackets I own have that feature--but only a few. My favorite Italian tailor (in Hoboken) retired to Italy. Hoping I can visit Mr. Bucco in NJ...

How do you give an off the rack suit functional holes? It seems to me that you would somehow have to add a placket to the inside seam of the jacket that the buttons would be sewed to.

Yes. But I think that is possible. Note the contrasting placket on the inside of the blue jacket at 1:50. But if the cuff is not cut super wide, then you'd have to have a seam to extend the inner placket, where the buttons would be sewn. (The tailor might not like that...) But one could add it, and still achieve that "richer" look on a more casual jacket. Hear what he says around 4:00 through 4:30. Maybe having that inner seam might not work... Love his work!!! It's gorgeous.
