I use Sean O'Flynn and have so far been pleased with the shirts he has made for me.

I just noticed the ticket on my LL SSG2 linen says washed. BTW I should be finally picking my sports coat in it up from the tailor next week.

Journalists do seem to go for bold designs when given the opportunity.

You are right the Jacketing is a much better choice for a sports coat.
Classic Houndstooth Jacketing
CODE: FJ350-B2698/11
WEIGHT: 340/370g (12/13oz)

Classic Houndstooth - CBT9 A0053/11 - Weight: 400/430g or 14/15oz

How's this Fox flannel for size of check?

CBT9 A0053/11

I have a 3 piece suit in the Dugdale 8711 from their Formal Wear collection but the pattern is probably too small for you.

All good. The Graham Browne one looks like a great city suit. Buy 3!

Culverwood, thank you for the constructive conversation. I would suggest to Mariano that on trousers he orders orders in the future he asks for this style. But I want 1-1/4" more rise. I didn't want to scare him away with too high of a classic rise right away. It is unheard of today. Shame. I want ...

Love the coat but to me although the trousers look good from the front, to me the side view and I suspect the back view look "baggy" at the rear.

I do not know your shape in that area and it may be a choice you and Frank have made but perhaps when you meet it is something to consider.

In answer to UC's question my attitude is very hands off. I expect my tailor to have forgotten more about tailoring than I will ever know and as long as I like the cloths she/he makes for me I will continue to go there. My input is just choosing the cloth and the basic style of the garment. Very muc...

Given that I suggest you would be wearing these shoes with your more formal suits then what you have suggested seems sensible although I would reverse the colours and get a black oxford and a dark brown monk. Welcome to another set of experiences. From my own past given that getting the fit right fi...

Wrt to shoes, I am a big believer in the barefoot movement, and since I adopted barefoot shoes my stance has improved considerably and back pain has dissapeared. Thus, I have decided I am not going back to regular shoes. I’ve looked at several barefoot brands, and the only one I found that has dece...

My first two choice would be as yours, for my third sports jacket I would choose a check in perhaps a dark green background.

Or possibly an overcoat or covert coat that you could wear over a heavy sweater for casual walks and evenings in the city.

So true. All my nice socks wear out quickly whereas my Uniqlo one last forever.
