    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I had a 3 piece suit made up in this a year ago (the 8919020). Very pleased with it. Not fantastic pictures, but hopefully you get some sort of idea.

    Fabrics used in 1930’s?

    Like mentioned, I doubt there is anything more hardwearing than this, which in my opinion is close to bulletproof. I have two 3 piece suits made up of this my self. You can get it in two different weights, and the 18oz is warm enough to wear with just a scarf, hat and gloves on the coldest days...

    But none of them seem able to tie a decent tie knot.

    Quy Buy is the name of the tailor, although the suit is made in Naples. But he takes the measurements, helps you pick the fabric etc. https://www.quyandco.com/welcome

    Thank you, yes really like it and how it turned out. Original plan was thornproof, but I would have had to wait a bit for it, where as this was available right away. So. I`m not a patient man. Also lack impulse control.

    The Made-to-Measure Thread

    Went to pick up my latest order today, (3 piece suit). Pleased with how it turned out, although the pants will be altered and get turn ups. Did not wear them with braces here, so they appear slightly ill fitting (90s hip hop artist). Excuse all the noise.

    Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

    Yes, I tried to make something resembling an effort to get the right angle to highlight the lines, curves and overall fantastic work that has gone into these shoes. They also have a very slim and fiddle waste, but thought it best not to include a photo of the sole as it has been walked on.

    Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

    Threw the stock one in because I think my own photo looks so, so. But there you go : )
