Many thanks...I'm assuming you've had good experiences with him? Curious because I'm a little skeptical of traveling tailors.

This will be my first time meeting with them. But they have an excellent reputation...you can see some of their work in this thread:

Anyone made something up from the London Lounge Cloth Club Spring 2011 subscriptions yet? I sent the LLTW22 out for a sport coat. Can't wait to see the results!
