Nice. Is that the LL city gunclub? More pics? Who made them up?

 

[wigglr]

My guess is Moon, not LL city but I may be wrong

I have quite a few ongoing projects this winter:

Suits:
Brown with charcoal stripe flannel double breasted
Olive corduroy single breasted
20oz grey flannel DB
Charcoal worsted wool DB

A 20oz flannel suit seems very heavy for these days of air-conditioned offices, where are you based?

A new project with L.H. Bespoke 1948.

Is it too late to change out the fabric ?

 

[Maccimus]

It is a Minnis flannel. Waited 5 months to get the work actually started, but had 2* basted fittings and forward fitting in pretty much two weeks...

The back need a bit work but I suppose it will look better with lining.

Last commission from last year.

Sartoria Corcos, Minnis Classic II nr. 0762, 370 gr. My first suit from Kotaro, I think it is amazing.

Liverano tie, Gherardi shirt and Sozzi linen PS.

Very nice! I am also interested in either the 0762 or 0761 for a suit. The 0762 looks lighter made up than the swatch would suggest (but that is often the case). Does the photo accurately represent the color in natural light? Also, how do you like the texture of the fabric?

That looks fantastic Douglas!

Toile fitting yesterday with my dear friend/tailor Jussi Häkkinen, for what shall be a green corduroy suit:

Just had a forward fitting of a new OC for autumn (albeit a bit delayed). Nevertheless, I think it looks quite promising. The martingala will be lowered slightly, but apart from that ready to be finished. Will receive it by the end of November.

Looks good so far-you don't see that many tailors using toile anymore. Out of interest, which corduroy did you decide on? I'm not sure if I want to do a forest or an olive green.

Thank you! This picture makes the fabric look lighter in color, it usually looks much more dark navy. I like the texture of the cloth, not too shiny or delicate. Seems to be a really good standard suit cloth.

I have a thing for bespoke. But admittedly, OCs are growing on me.
