    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Not an issue I've had! Trouser p0rn of a pair I've recently made in 9oz white linen w. bemberg lining & waistband. Biggest thing that makes a difference to whether trousers slide down or not is getting enough shape in the waistband. Following on from some help from a friend on the Row I've...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I have a mix in the wardrobe - bemberg, sleeve lining, silesia. Personally I rather like the entire inside to match, though silesia may have a slight advantage in terms of durability.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    What waist size are you..? For myself (32" waist), half lined, I buy 1/2 trouser length + a few inches (6" should be enough to allow inlay) - that usually allows me to line the trouser to the knee and to use the lining as curtain and waistband lining. Full answer to your question - full trouser...

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    I am getting married in October and will be wearing a grey flannel three piece (pic of the first fitting of the coat below - I am making the trousers and didn't have the baste done in time hence the white linen jobs). Planning on wearing a white shirt and black oxfords but am entirely stuck on...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    This comes with a health warning in that I'm not a tailor but have spent a lot of time reading around the subject, making garments, working on stuff with people who know what's what (current or ex Savile Row). It looks as though your right shoulder is down slightly but hadn't been compensated...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    How does the coat hang when it's not buttoned up? A side on pic too by any chance?

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    I was discussing roughly the same issue during a fitting the other day - the resolution in that particular case was to scoop out a little at the front of the scye and to reduce the same at the forepart and side body seam so as to maintain the same overall size.

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Ca One can't judge the fit based on photos of you pretending to run! Best post some full length (front and back) in decent lighting if you want helpful comments. My guess? 1. Shoulder angle is wrong 2. Excess around the armhole and chest which needs clearing.

    suit fabrics in London

    Harrisons and H Lesser don't keep stock in London - their main office is Exeter (Devon). Best you can do with most cloth merchants is to make an appointment and then have the lengths delivered to you. Note that most require you to be in business in order to sell to you. If that doesn't appeal...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Can you post a side on pic of all 3 pairs and confirm whether any of these have more than 1 back dart? Per my earlier post a front dart may well help you too - it allows more room across the front but without the extra width of a pleat. I think you've a prominent seat (as have I) which makes...

    Let out in the seat or elsewhere? A full length pic would be helpful, as would an image of them on!

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    Are you thinking of going Bespoke on Savile Row? If so then worth looking up Jennie Adamson (ex Gieves & Hawkes), Antonia Ede (Montague Ede - ex Huntsman & Hardie Amies) or Victoria Townsend (ex Richard James). None of them are on the Row now but make sublime garments - I've had suits from Ant...

    Bespoke trouser ironwork

    First post here but I hope it might be useful for people.... By way of background I've been fascinated by tailoring for a few years and being based in London have been lucky enough to get some excellent advice and tuition from various cutters and tailors in and around Savile Row. Trousermaking...
