and i agree re: iSurg.. canvass is overrated - heavy and hot

Only overrated for summer IMO. Fully canvassed can't be beat for shaping of the chest and front in general. Of all my coats/suits, it's the fully canvassed ones that have the best shape and drape on the fronts, especially when un-buttoned. And that's just for ready to wear, I can only imagine the shaping to be even better again on bespoke when it can be specifically shaped to your body.

Nabil - any idea?

Lol, unfortunately that's not that helpful for me.

I have a Meermin in their Ben last, which fit well. I find the 026 last to be slightly too wide, but the 386 last is a very nice fit.

Thanks anyway!

While I have your attention - will you guys to CMT?

Did the safety razor trip back in my twenties the old man gave me German razor, the septic pencil was my friend on a lot of days. A lot of my friends of mine are into safety razors it, its one of those lost manly arts which has gained a lot of popularity.
I get a good shave from a Mac3. I just had to change a blade that I had been using since January when I bought a razor pit. Very impressed saved a packet on blades the past four months.

Mmh I think CD was recommending that razor pit - I'm naturally sceptical.... but perhaps....

I don't get a great deal better shave off safety razors especially considering the mucking around and safety issues.

Do you mean this one?

We must have different definitions of what drape is in a coat, because that one has none from what I can see. It needs a bit of work IMO, more room in the chest and waist (no offence to the owner). I think an un-lined coat, unless in very heavy fabric can't really get much, if any drape. It simply isn't heavy enough and that's where the canvass comes in.

Trousers look great however.

I like Imran, I think he's cool.

Can't see the trousers, or the jacket - work has blocked Tumblr's. Worst.

Oh it's a cool lining I found on Huddersfield Fine Worsteds, by Hunt & Winterbotham (http://www.hfwltd.com/bobb.php?b=haw&c=10&p=4)

Is it possible to post what mills you have access to?

Sorry for bombarding you with questions. I will buy something eventually!

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care

Depends on fabric

Depends on price
