The Rust Aso-Ebi Senator
For: Aso-ebi where you want a two-piece rather than a robe
The version I would choose when the family cloth is strong and the room is warm. A senator cut from the group cloth reads as part of the set from across the hall and as tailoring up close.

On your frame
- Broad / muscular — No padding, clean button stance, and deep side vents so it opens when you sit.

- Compact — Tunic to the top of the seat, high rise, no break over the shoe.
- Fuller figure — Straight body, no waist suppression, and a straight leg.
What to do next
If this is the shape you want, tell me the occasion and date and I will point you at the right house for it.
Tell me the occasion, the date and your budget bracket. Within 24 hours you get back: two or three houses I would actually approach and why those and not others, the alterations to insist on for your build, a realistic timeline for your date, and a short written brief you can hand to the tailor at the first fitting.
- No fee, no commission, nothing sold here.
- If nobody I trust fits your date or budget, I say so.
- Read by me, answered by me.
