I just recently started to have garments made bespoke, so excuse me if some of my thoughts can appear naive. What I would like to know is, should bespoke garments always have a perfect fit? I had some shirts and a jacket made bespoke and honestly they are not perfect fit and there are a few aspect I...

If Cordings does not work for you, I have bought excellent RTW moleskin trousers from Ben Silver (made of English cloth but a bit lighter weighted than those from Cordings). I´m not sure if they make them in small sizes though; they are geared to the American market, you know. You may be faced with...

i sent an email to cordings and unfortunately they changed the cut of their trousers just recently and 9inches opening is for a 28" waist too. Apparently no matter what your waist is the leg opening is 9 inches which is huge in my opinion. I understand you concern with that lack of balance. My 13 y...

...cordings are a nice option, however I saw the sizing guide and for a 28" waist the leg opening is 18 inches? Seems overly big. It´s a mistake. The width for a size 38 is around 9 inches. i sent an email to cordings and unfortunately they changed the cut of their trousers just recently and 9inche...

what's the most traditional and versatile colour for moleskin trousers?

thank you for all the replies so far. I really like your donegal suggestions, lovely fabric and I really like textured fabrics ( that's one of the reason I like my hopsack). My only doubt about donegal is that I'm not very used to see tweeds in navy, I've always seen tweed in earth-tone colours like...

What would be a nice fabric for a navy odd jacket suited for autumn- winter? I already own a navy hopsack odd jacket which is too light for winter and I need a navy jacket for the colder months. The jacket I have in mind is quite sporty and a similar configuration to the hopsack: full canvass, natur...

Just about anything except jeans, especially blue jeans. I see this trend more and more and it hurts my eyes. The blues cannot possibly match and who, in his right mind, would wear non matching, blue dress trousers with a navy blazer? Moreover the outdoor working nature of the denim conflicts with ...

I own a navy hopsack blazer, what type of fabric would you recommend for trousers? I was thinking about fresco, tropical wool and linen. I'm thinking to opt for linen trousers because they are cheaper, easier to find on local shops and I don't mind the wrinkles. I realize fresco and tropical wool wo...
