Great news! You may want to consult Greg about sizing and such!

And I'll add it to the infographic!

I'm not saying this to get him to do it, but if @Murlsquirl does really like the fabric I think he should hop on it. I'm going to give Formosa bespoke a try in September, but I might not even use this fabric, I may get something from Moonbeam instead. But at some point I'm having this fabric made up and I'll be happy to have it around at this price.

Can you PM me what you're paying for the length of fabric? Haven't heard from Greg...he's a busy dude.

How do we get an idea about the sizing? Saying I'm a 42 is well and great but experience tells me the fit can be quite off.

@gdl203 can help you with sizing questions, but typically Formosa sizing is true to size,unless you are in-between sizes, and then size up.

Thanks for the tip. Sounds like a great project (love the fabric!) but I'm a bit of a tricky fit (Drop 10). Never tried anything of theirs so I can't commit. Good luck!
