Len told me a long time ago that he trained at either Welsh & Jefferies or Bernard Weatherill. Something with a "W" - can't quite remember which one.

I hear Bruno Cosentino (formerly of Dunhill Bespoke) is now working at Ercole's Manhattan outpost.

I've taken a real liking to Mohair. A bit shiny in darker colors, but looks beautiful as a RAF or steel blue. I've found it to wear just as cool as my Fresco.

tchoy,   I've had a few suits made from the lightweight Fox flannels, and I frankly wouldn't recommend the cloth for odd trousers. Too flimsy, w/o much body, and prone to pilling. Fox makes a fantastic 16oz. mid-gtrey flannel...
