I take it that it's just a sportcoat? Or are there trousers as well?

Normally the guys tend to post pictures of the coat. Its a bit more difficult to fit trousers on the mannequin

So they had better post pictures of the clothes being worn!

The cloth is beautiful - the contrast being much softer than between black and white, it works better with a large scale pattern. The crimson windowpane is pure poetry...
Nicely tailored coat, too. If it were mine I would do away with the ticket pocket (which might work better with a more plain cloth) and the top row of buttons. Beautiful lapels and roll and exquisitely set sleeve with regard to pattern matching (and not only).

the cloth looks great for me personnal it is a tad on the light shade if it was a shade darker i could wear it quite comfortable and regreat even more not getting some!

The lighting in the picture gives the cloth a deceptively light cast. It is actually much darker. The check is a dark brown and the background is a mid brown.

As stated earlier on another thread, I had my doubts as to the suitability of this cloth as a DB. Those worries have been ameliorated. Given my preference for DB suits, I feel comfortable commissioning a DB for this cloth. Thanks for posting the pictures! Also a Nicely done to the bespeaker and his tailor.
