Has anyone used them; does anyone have any pictures of the resulting work?

Thanks,

Perhaps I should explain why I ask:

I've an old 3-piece dinner suit which doesn't fit me as I'm too tall. I wondered how viable it would be to have a tailor make a copy rather than trying to find another vintage one and have it altered. K&A seem to be more affordable than most!

I was once asked a similar question about King & Allen and thought the best thing to do was to call them and ask that very question. The majority of their cloths are wool/poly blends and, according to the young lady I spoke to, the suits are made in the country where the cloth is sourced so the majority of their suits are manufactured in Vietnam hence the 'affordability'. To be fair she was very honest and upfront about it and did not try and imply that they were made elsewhere.....unlike less scrupulous operators.
