Gentlemen,

As I learned from experience, sometimes discussions held on the London Lounge have a very positive impact on not only our understanding of sartorial arts, but on sartorial arts themselves!

An example: some time ago I posted pictures of my bespoke sports jacket (http://thelondonlounge.net/gl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=341). I asked for comments, and got them aplenty (by the way, thank you very much again to all who commented!). Then London Lounge Magic began its work... The tailor saw the thread, agreed with critical comments and... offered to re-made the jacket -- by his own will, without my asking. End result is so much better than what I once had.

Another example happened just recently. A few days ago I posted pictures of stitching on Russell & Hodge shirt (http://thelondonlounge.net/gl/forum/vie ... php?t=7326). Again, a lively discussion, and again, London Lounge Magic began to happen... The shirtmaker saw the thread, and bothered enough to explain poor quality. What the final outcome would be? Let us wait and see...

It is good to hear that. While I did not see the jacket in question, that R&H shirt is very very poor in construction. I hope they do something about it.

The LL, members and its arbiter are to be commended for the favorable effects of its scholarly discourse and enriching education.

Incredible what a forum can do!
Andrey, could you please post the link to your jacket thread? I missed it as well :(

Thanks

Andrey,

Excellent results. Thanks for posting. If it's not too much to ask, it would be nice to see the re-made jacket.

Couch, thank you for kind words.

I will try to make pictures of the re-made coat. This might take some time, though (I have to find time and place with good light and convince my wife to spend another half an hour making useless pictures. :))

It's nearly 5 months since your post so what has happened with aforementioned jacket and poor quality shirt?
