I recently received my completed three piece in the Brora 646 tweed. I think Michael showed a fitting here or on the Instagram page. Anyway, in the upper left vest pocket I found a note. I thought of this thread and opened it with anticipation. Could it reveal the real me? Alas, it appears to prescribe some of the particulars like swelled edges and what might be notes about my crooked body as well as the name Paul noted (probably refers Griffiths who I think makes up my coats under Edwin). Anyway, I thought of our Uppercase and had to laugh again. No reference to me being grande pignolo, but that does not rule out they might think it. :lol:

PS the tweed is a beaut.

Its vastly more important than any possible nit or nat a nitpicker can pick. That explains all the activity in this thread.
This is good advice for interaction with people in general. Thank you.
