The London Lounge

Point well taken.

:)

To me it give's the same feeling as seeing someone with their pants up around their ears. It looks unformfortable and confining. Having said that I certainly can't judge the actual comfort without trying on both versions. If it were a 4 button DB would the buttons sit in the middle of the 6 button p...

It's is a very common tool in everything from cinematography to web deisgn and while it is just a tool, I find that as you push things around and use your "judgement" you quite often end with an aproximation of this naturally occuring proportion. That being said a suit is there to fit the body it's ...

I have no idea what might be classically correct, but to me the original positioning looks more comfortable. The original has the buttons sitting at a point approximating the golden ratio, which to my design eye is a more pleasing place for them to be. It also looks like they'd be sitting with the b...

Given the LL tweed was based on the login page image (I believe), and the LL tie was based on same, I'd expect the two should compliment each other nicely.

I believe there is a second tier of membership where you can see the full photo journals etc. I'm not sure how one achieves this tier of membership.

Ticket pocket being the second (above the "normal" pocket) outside pocket on the right side of the coat? It simply looks like a second outside pocket on that side?

So in a way, it's likely all customers start as slightly difficult clients, particularly if they're fussy. From a customers view point, and one that is yet to test the waters of bespoke, when first learning about something like this you will likely only have a kit bag of anecdotal likes and dislikes...

Perhaps I've missunderstood, but this thread makes me uncomfortable. If I'm paying $5000 for a suit I want the tailor to both listen to and educate me. As for communicating "what I want" and being a "moving target". You're the expert, not me. I can, at best, give you examples of suits I like the loo...

Simple math seems to dictate this is impossible. If you require two pieces of material of differring lengths and then shrink the edge of one, how can the lines ever match?

It stands to reason they can only approach a match on someone with very small flat shoulders.

What am I missing?

Is there a version of this story not using that god aweful "real media"/"real player" system, or perhaps a transcript?
