The coat reference is G4701. Now stop giving me a hard time ... Piobaire has done plenty of that today.Of course I'm speaking to you.
Your clue is interesting, but we would have to include everyone who utters a gerund.
I'm waiting with bated breath. Then again, we had prawns tonight ... so perhaps that should be baited breath.If we're lucky, the quality of service at the RTW operation will equal that of the bespoke operation.
It's an exciting time.
BINGO! But rather than grey ... I just say 'chalky windowpane.'11.5 oz Lesser dark blue flannel with a grey windowpane?
I've had occasion to wear my jacket a lot the past couple of days. While it still suffers from the issues discussed at length above, I have to say, there is something to Mr. H's admonition that the coat has be worn before you really know how it fits. It does "settle" and conform with wear. It's changed considerably. The non-parallel stripes are still an issue, of course, and the left sleeve is still funky in back but in terms of the waist, it still looks tight but does not feel tight. It's super comfortable and I no longer "feel" my wallet in the breast pocket, which is nice.
The shoulders are totally conforming and breaking down, much earlier than I have experienced with other tailors.
So, jury still out but it's improving, though of course "settling" is not going to fix various other issues.
(..)Mr. Carter, who edited the book with Cullen Murphy, noted that the tradition of bespoke tailoring has been discovered by a new generation that is far more fashion obsessed than when he was in his 30s and bought a tweed jacket and a nailhead double-breasted suit at Anderson & Sheppard. “As you get older, good tailoring can correct a lot of ills,” he said. “It can take 10 pounds off.”
Is that so?
“Good tailoring, and Spanx,” he said.
