Hi

Just a quick introductory post.

New to the London Lounge, but fortunately, not new to 'bespoke' clothing.

Glad to have found a website which covers possibly everything you could wish to know about tailoring and fabric in such depth.

In terms of my own interest in 'bespoke', it comes from having a relative who is a tailor and have always enjoyed the process of having something made 'from scratch'.

Unfortunately / fortunately, the more 'stuff' you have made, the more you 'need' to have made, as you know!

I am currently reading up on traditional British fabrics, inspired by watching a recent BBC documentary on SR, which I am sure you also watched.

This is what lead me to London Lounge... and finding the incredible 'cloth club' section

:D

Seriously looking into hopefully securing some of the "Gary Cooper" (if still available).

Cheers
marcelo

Dear Bespoke Gent,
Welcome to the LL! It is a magnific club! Yes, I have seen the BBC documentaries - "Love thy neighbour", in three parts, and "British Styles Genius", thanks to some posts about them which had been posted here in the LL.

All the best

M.
