There's pattern-matching at the back (horizontal lines on the body aligned with those in the sleeves), but not in front. But if you're not so finicky...

Yes, looking forward to see Radical Dog's finished commission.

Many thanks, Seamaster Lux, for the info and your contributions to this illuminating thread.

How many fittings does CdL do? And how long does it take to complete a suit from first measurement? And all of these in Paris, I assume? Thanks.

In my experience, at the basted stage, GY gives directions to one tailor for the jacket, and another for the trousers. Both tailors appear to me in their 60's. At the subsequent fittings, only one tailor is present to receive GY's...

Nice!

During the first fittings, usually present are two tailors - one for the jacket and another for the pants, aside from Gordon.

Are the sleeves a tad long to give allowance for when they crease? The pants look longish though.

Shoulders and sleeve length are spot on.

Very nice indeed!
