I was given this book for christmas and it has some great photography in it. I wondered if anyone had any observations on the cut and construction of the suits pictured on pages 16 and 27?

unfortunately I don't possess a scanner. If anyone else has access to both the book and the appropriate technology, perhaps they could oblige...

JamesT1 - the book is a coffee table tome so should not be taken too seriously - however, the photography is excellent and includes some very good examples of bespoke english tailoring.

If I don't forget to bring the book along to work tomorrow, I'll scan the
pages and will try to post them here.

BTW, can anyone give me a quick hint where to put/attach images for this board?

The easiest way to upload images would be to open an account at a place such as

www.photobucket.com

It's free and relatively easy. From there all one would have to do is upload the photos and copy the html.

Thanks Tim - excellent images.

To reiterate my original post, I wondered whether people had any observations on the cut and construction of the suits?
