"  I have such a crush on Lanvin. I mean, SUCH a crush! The unique proportions, the craftsmanship, and the details make my heart go aflutter. But there is something about the menswear side of the house that turns me green with envy\u2013their custom suit services. Uh! I would die for something custom made by Lanvin, and the boys totally have it at their disposal.  Upon discovering their Savile Row shop, I&amp;#039;ve been on the edge of my seat, wondering what it&amp;#039;s like to get a custom suit from the house. Lucky me, M. Ron Wahid, CEO of RJI Capital, let me tag along one day while he took a dance through Lanvin heaven. \u2014Rebecca Suhrawardi Austin   Lanvin swatch books for custom ordering  Once we arrived at the store, the first thing he did was choose his fabric. It comes in varying degrees of quality (something I just learned that day) from Super 100&amp;#039;s to Super 150&amp;#039;s, 150 being the best. After feeling the different swatches, Ron chose a Super 140 in midnight blue, because he wanted something to wear all year round. After that, it was time to choose the basic style of the suit, and after that, he got measured. But then, the real fun began\u2013choosing all the custom details! So many choices: double-venting or not, flat-front or pleat-front pants, 2-button or 3-button jacket (or 4 or 5 if you want!). On this occasion, Mr. Wahid chose a three-button, double-vented jacket with working buttons on the sleeves (meaning, ones that actually open and close). And for the pants, he chose one-pleat without a cuff at the ankle. And just for kicks, he picked up a velvet tuxedo as well.  For the record, this was a demi-measure situation, not full-on bespoke. The difference? With bespoke, there is a tailor to measure and do the work on premises and with demi-measure there is not\u2013the measurements are sent to the tailor who makes them elsewhere. But what do you think? Are you like me, would you die for a little piece of custom Lanvin? If so, maybe we should all get together and petition! Alber, are you listening?? xoxo "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
