Thank you very much for sharing, iammatt.

My tailor uses 3.5 centimeters, which looks perfect for me. I wouldn't recomend a much smaller distance since the sleeve could begin to like like it had been shortened.

Any chance of posting some photos? I am very interested in this. Yes, I would certainly be interested too! Particularly since I'm not sure yet about the model. For example, how many buttons on the cuffs? And what about lining? I reckon that lining will be necessary with camelhair since the fabric w...

Gentlemen, Being in possession of a beautiful 100% camelhair fabric (light camel colour), I was contemplating on asking my Italian shirtmaker to make a shirt jacket out of it.

And I am trying so hard to resist the craving for bespoke shoes as long as possible...

Trilby: Thank you.

Maybe you can also contribute to my discussion about Off-the-Row tailors.

Thank you for your warnings, that is exactly why I'm currently asking for experiences/opinions. Positive examples are, of course, welcome too

Gentlemen, I was wondering whether there are members that have and would like to share experiences with "off the Row" Tailors. Of course, there have to be more talented tailors in London than only the ones at work in renown houses on Savile Row. A thread on AskAndy caught my attention. Several addre...

That's very good news to hear! It would be great to see the pictures. I'm really interested in the work of "off the row" tailors, like Arkus.
