The Despos Thread

[Flake]

I reached out to Chris is April while planning a Chicago trip. Was sad to learn he’s not accepting new clients.

Not now, but that’s likely to change. He’s trying to catch up on his backlog first while he breaks in his new finishers

Just Mari-Kondo'd my closet this weekend. Fewer suits and odd jackets from now on but more Despos.
There is flannel in my future.

Wore my Despos flannel on Friday. I looked awesome.

I also had a nice conversation with Chris on Saturday. I’m happy to hear his business is moving the right direction as far as finding the support he needs to continue to do his best work.

Will likely wear mine this week. It’s perfect weather for it!

I own a pair on mid-grey Despos flannel pents but no flannel suits. Patrick R and Flake, will you be posting pictures of your Despos flannel? Hope so.

I like it. I like it a lot. Great work.

Is he really not taking new clients? Are there other tailors in the Chicago area worth considering?

Chris made this mid-grey sharkskin for me a few years back. I had gained some weight over the past three years to the point where I couldn’t really wear this anymore, but after 9 weeks and 20# it’s fitting like a glove again. Yay!!
