Thank you very much for replies, gentlemen

Thank you for your reply. My first though too, but one can't expect too much interest from a successor I guess.

I have a number of jackets made by an ex Anderson and Sheppard cutter - tailored by an A & S independent out worker. The original cutter has unfortunately passed away. To cut to the quick I would like the extension on the shoulders reduced, but I want the alterations to be completed with hand- sewn ...

Welcome back Michael, been missing you and the forum.

Best regards

Gentlemen:
Thanks for taking the trouble to give me some good suggestions.
Best Regards

Would any members care to make recommendations for my friend and me and our wives to have dinner and possibly dance in New York this New Year. We are mature, well we are advanced in years if not actually mature in a wider sense, visitors from the UK. The Algonquin? Hotels in the Central Park area?[/...

Many ,many thanks for a truly wonderful post. One can almost smell the sea breeze at the via Partenopea.
Very interesting to see Gabrielle's hard to find atelier featured. This maker seems to have dropped (unjustifiably) off the fora radar with the continuing attention to Anna Matuozzo.

Many thanks for the very generous comments. I had truly expected a few "hints" as to how to correct various tailoring errors as perceived by members.

The sleeve heads were so exaggerated that they looked like "puffed" sleeves, and the "grinza" looked l...

I know this post is about ready to wear, but I want to have some cords and or moleskins made. I am finding difficulty in finding suppliers of corduroy in London. Recently I browsed in a great fabric shop near Charvet in Paris. Swithered over some cashmere cotton corduroy. Now kicking myself for not ...

I confess to never having bought a Charvet shirt because of the, to me, rather unpleasantly stiff interlining they use in the RTW. It feels fused even though it may not be. Presumably this is overcome in their bespoke offerings where I presume a variety of interlinings are offered.
