Dear Bird I am sorry to hear your first attempt in bespoke haven't turn out as well as you like. A good friend and a old tailor told me once consider your first bespoke commission as tuition fee you will learn much from it. I am also from Sydney Australia I've had success with a few remaining bespok...

Lovely looking coat, I would love to see a fit picture of Gianfrancesco's good work and some inspiration for my own gunclub cloth. It's quite easy to upload an image to the forum using one of many image hosting site such as flickr, photobucket or imageshack. Shoot me a pm if you have problems I can ...

I have a few pairs of trousers made from H Lessers tropical bunch in different shades of grey, it's has serve me well to wear with most odd jackets from summer through to autumn here in Sydney. In winter I have a few pair of grey flannel trousers using Minnis and Loro Piana cloth. The Loro Piana is ...

Congratulation to the client and the tailor! It'a a beautifully crafted overcoat!

I am follow Aussie, like the other said give Sam a miss.

You can purchase linen suiting here from The Cloth Club to take to Hong Kong. Gordon Yao will do CMT but not WW Chan. Both houses can source W Bill linen which is a good alternative.

Has anyone seen the Rimowa 'Stealth' models, in black anodised aluminium? I think that they could either be handsome, or trying too hard. I am worried by the current vogue for matte black-on-black sportscars. The Lufthansa branded Rimowas with leather trim also look nice: https://www.worldshop.eu/p...

And I went for a mid grey 2 button (in zenga I think).

Good to hear! Patrick did told he was working on more options late last year.

I have used both tailors question here with great results. Two very different products I don't think you'll be disappointed with either choices. Patrick Johnson tends to cut a more modern slimmer softer suit. He is a very good fitter and have a very good eye. He wouldn't let you out the door until h...

Welcome to London Lounge and congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I am also a Sydney sider but have no personal experience with Zink and Sons.

The Cloth Club's navy Mistral would be ideal for a navy blazer.Hopefully there will be a reissue. I have the grey Mistral and is one of my favourite cloth from the Cloth Club.

Great looking coat! I am looking forward to have mine make up.

I didn't expect anybody reading this to have experience of Sydney tailors but if they can be recommended of course that would be preferable based on the short time that I have here. I suppose the row will survive another few years until I'm back. I expect I will benefit from the Sydney tailor's kno...

If the worst comes to the worst, Guido of the Most Exerent Brog seems to do alright downunder with P Johnson http://www.pjohnson.com.au . Patrick Johnson is a great option, essentially it's a mtm service but it offers excellent value for money at a different price point to Sydney bespoke tailors. T...

We still have a very few excellent bespoke tailors left in Sydney if things don't work out for you in London.

Very nice coat Michael. Any chance of a close up of the fabric?
