Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

[Wallcloud]

So what would a decent tailor charge for turning some of these cloths into suit and jackets? I really love the idea of buying raw cloth and having a bespole coat made, I have no experience with it and would not enjoy getting ripped off.
Does anyone have any experience with a good tailor in the Chicago area?

It is a shame that AR has (sadly) stopped selling cloth to SF as certain members were being idiots and it all become more trouble than it was worth.

I saw his last announcement discontinuing sales. Very sad ...

It's a real shame, and a sad testament to the capability of a few morans to spoil a good thing for everyone - I remember him mentioning some fellow who went back-and-forth with him over >30 emails and photos, and who ended up not purchasing anything.

He mentioned that to me as well though IIRC the number of emails was far more than 30 ..

Sorry for this late reply - some is on the way in the form of a LL cloth, so in a way, yes.

Manton - just curious, did you ever get any of the cloth in the first few posts made up?

 

[aj_del]

I have tried to get some Golden bale directly from Lesser but I did have to order it through my tailor as a gentleman agreement between the two firms...

Anderson is pushing the Smiths woolens products and I love the Fox flannel...
The feel is so much lighter and luxurious...
