This is my first suit from Chris, though I would imagine you're talking to furosemide.
I agree whole-heartedly. The experience working with Chris has been an absolute pleasure. His skill level is beyond reproach, but what I find even more impressive is his passion for what he does. I always enjoy my visits with him for this very reason.
This is indeed the second and third jackets he made for me (simultaneously). I'll post up my first when I get a chance.

This is the second and third jacket we made. The shoulders have no padding at all and are soft but firm, so to speak.
If F. is open to it he could link some shots of trousers he had made elsewhere from a thread he started some time ago. You will see how far he's gone.
The fronts are shaped differently because neither I or clients want to see their belt, shirt or tie below the button. Probably looks funny if you are used to other fits on here but to me, showing shirt, tie or belt is the lesser (not the cloth maker) of the two options.
What he said!

And for that, thanks!
Now, for the next request- get someone to take a photo outside today, on this beautiful fall day in Chicago!
I wish I had a fiance who was willing (or had the time) to shoot pics of me frolicking in Chicago leaves with my bespoken clothes so that I can anonymously post it on a site for others to critique. Can't understand why that doesn't interest her
