Fox has some 540g 17oz Heavy Grey Flannel which I like even for trousers I second this. I was just fitted for a suit in this very cloth and am plannin...

can someone let me know when he is coming? Yes I can -- Based on my one experience, the eventual fit is terrible and not worth the price (as low as that is) Interesting. I'm going on my third prova with Scafora. The first was unwearble, at least two sizes small, the second bette, but still a far cr...

Couldn't agree more and I love Green. Vass construction is about the best I've seen and the U and F lasts are just about perfection.

Since Paolo is somewhat tardy in delivering my bespoke shoes, I'm hoping I'll be the first to know. :wink:

Agree with Matt. The nice thing about the RTW is that they are made in the exact same fashion as the bespoke though not from your own measurments.

Very impressive, aportnoy; if I may say so. Incidentally what was the weight of this flannel cloth and also the manufacturer? It's a 14oz older Lesser cloth that frank had lying around and I grabbed. Thank you aportnoy. How do you find the 14 oz weight given airconditioning, etc. Does it get too wa...

As bengal has mentioned, I am quite fond of the Bexley trees having bought 40+ pairs. Unfortunately, they are currently out of my size, so I recently ordered 12 pair from Cedarville, which I hope to receive shortly.
