My father was a tailor and the first jacket he made for me was that twill pattern in cream and cinnamon. It was fantastic. This picture brought back memories of wearing that jacket.
Great minds! The 13oz mid grey Lesser is one of my all time favorites.
Pick & pick or birdseye.
Or sharkskin.
Which is pick & pick.
pick n pick = shark, no?
I'm trying to decide what type of fabric I want for my first semi-bespoke solid charcoal suit, to be used for business affairs in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm thinking of the following:
-Solid Charcoal
-Smooth worsted "hard finish"
-10-12oz
-slight amount of surface interest
-Don't want twill, herringbone, or hopsack
-Most likely from Smiths Woolens
What I'm less sure about is the specific type of weave I want. I've seen samples, but not being experienced in this area, it's hard to translate a sample into how the full suit would look and feel. What I would like is for the weave to complement the characteristics that I'm trying to project: sophisticated, smooth, business (think Harvey Specter). Any tips? Thanks.
Thanks for this. Have been planning to get a midweight, mid-gray sharkskin. I hope they still make it.
