SOLD: Bespoke W. BILL RAF blue Irish linen suit made by ex-WW Chan tailor

SOLD: Bespoke W. BILL RAF blue Irish linen suit made by ex-WW Chan tailor

For sale here is a suit made from a RAF blue W. Bill Irish linen suit 13oz (pre-Harrisons).

Note: I have listed 4 suits and 2 blazers in different threads as there are too many photos to upload. Please check out the rest if interested.

It has not been used much (never been dry cleaned because barely worn). Made by an ex-WW Chan tailor.

I used cutting style of A&S jacket for this (no side body) so that the skirt stays close to the hips (no skirt flare). I also supplied my own trimming (RJ Weldon horn button, RJ Weldon horsehair canvas like those used by A&S, RJ Weldon emerzine lining).

Jacket is made with an extended shoulder silhouette. Buttonholes are handsewn, as are pick-stitching details. Linings are all handsewn and felled.

For reference I wear US 40-42 RTW. Thanks for your interest.

Waist: 38"
Shoulder: 19"
