Dear Gentlemen!

I would have called him a brute as he burned two large holes with his even larger cigar in the back of my newly made 3-piece suit of this beautiful cloth, were it that he is one of my favourite colleagues.

Still, that leaves me with the back of a jacket with two unsightly holes in my already beloved jacket (with the red lining they show extra).

Please, if anyone of you still has some of this fabric - I do not know how much one needs for the back of a jacket, but I would say 80 cm - 1 meter would be enough - and if you do not need it (any more), please, please let me know, as I - as you already would have guessed - need it badly.

Regards,

Paul

You may like to contact Des Merrion. He covered the making of some trousers in this cloth and I think he mentioned that he still had a jacket length.

I certainly would like to contact Des Merrion - but how?

He goes by the nickname 'the tailor' in our lounge. Mr. Alden posted the following link to his contact information in this thread.:

Dear Gentlemen!

I would you like to thank all the members of this Lounge for their support. Particularly S and M who generously offered me their own fabric. It felt good to get help from complete strangers living on the other side of the world. Tomorrow I'll wear my suit again.

Paul
