Two jackets in process for me in LL fabrics

[voxsartoria]

These pictures prove that the early comments during the fitting phases were hasty impressions. The gunclub's fit is remarkable given its particular cut. The flannel DB has good proportions and I like the way the tall turnups work on your trousers (the length is spot on).

Thank you.

Amateur photography, point and shoot cameras, unkind venues, and the insufficiencies of digital media all conspire against caputuring the whole impression of a well made and fitted suit. But, they are better than nothing when we discuss how the rubber hits the road.

I would like a coat like that one day. It just looks great. The grey DB is very fine too, but it seems a tad tighter?

Thank you. The DB has a front cut/dart; the tweed jacket does not. So, yes, I would say that the suit jacket is a tad more cinched in. I ask for a front cut or not depending on the project and the purpose that I have in mind for it.

A very good resume of the keys to success in bespoke are to be found here.

Vox,

I see a very fine coat indeed. Once again Edwin has done honor to a piece of LL cloth and that pleases me greatly. I notice that while you have kept the front of the coat clean there is a bit of back drape (or is it just the photo?)

I like a measure of back drape in my coats. For those of you who are nervous about drape and it's attendant pleats, you might want to keep the front clean and give yourself a bit of ease in the back as shown in Vox's photo above.

Cheers

Thank you, M. I still claim a measure of drape in the chest of that tweed jacket, just less so than is typical.

I should be receiving the Best of Both number shortly...unfortunately, I didn't have a suit length, but I have high hopes for the jacket.

Interesting detail, the breast pocket on the right I guess you were trying to test our attention

Vox, the coat is also quite new. The bit of drape will show as the coat drops down, and the cloth softens with wear. This is especially true with a relatively stiff cheviot tweed.
