Le De Bonne Facture Thread

@De Bonne Facture will the boiled wool traveler be available on your site?

I have the same question for the navy boiled wool hoodie. Just want to know whether I should keep tabs on your site or somewhere else!

Does anybody know if a pair of the navy wool seersucker drawstring pants from last season are available anywhere in a 52? maybe even 54?
Or if that fabric was used in other trousers that are around in a 52?
I'm trying to complete the set with the traveller jacket.

Question as someone new to DBF grandad coats (just bought the undyed tweed from DBF's website). Is there a known factor why some grandad coats have rounded lapels, and some have pointy lapels? Can see the difference in the tweed vs the green. Love the rounded. Pointy is nice too, but rounded is what's making me pull the trigger on the one I went with.

Also, perusing the site, if anyone has that camel hair from 3-4 years ago for sale in a 50 (or maybe 52) lemme know. And DBF, any chance something like that gets run again for anyone? I'm a sucker for camelhair overcoats.

I missed the nmwa hiking trousers in brown..will those be available on the DBF site?

I love the corduroy suits this season. To everybody new to DBF the cord is absolutely
astonishing. I have several cord-set ups and they all gotten a real nice patina, forget about deforestation on knees or elbows.

However, totally miss the working cuffs that usually was a part of the DBF-style. I've bought two DBF- suits and having a third one without cuffs would feel a bit disappointing.

I see this trend on several brands now, Drake's, DBF, Arpenteur etc. I wonder if it's about style or costs. If the latter I'd definitely put some extra money for that detail. Hope working cuffs will be back in the future.

IMO working cuffs do not belong on RTW jackets. Great if the sleeve length happens to be correct for your body, awful if not.

Interesting, never thought about that. Do you believe working cuffs belongs to tailor made/MTO? So rather no buttons at all on RTW? (Or fake ones?)

The problem with working cuffs is that they are much more difficult to alter. The buttonholes can’t be moved (they are literally holes in the fabric) so anything more than 0.25-0.5” sleeve length alterations have to be done from the shoulder end of the sleeve. This is much more expensive and risky depending on the tailor’s expertise.

For RTW I prefer either unfinished cuffs on higher end jackets or just sewn on buttons. Even fake buttonholes can be problematic to unpick without damaging the fabric.

 

[Strumbeck]

I see! Yeah I usually have them done up at the shoulder. Only problem in my experience is when there are squares in the pattern that has to be fixed in line with the body, but my tailor took care also of that. Super happy with her, took several years to find...

HI EVERYONE!
Does anyone have the greige tailored wool flannel trousers from AW19 shown in this picture? Size 50. I'd like to buy an extra pair.

 

[Easily Amused]

Greetings! In case anyone here may have the FW22 Overshirt in navy wool plaid and are willing to sell it, let me know. Thanks.

Thanks to @DuckOB for the navy plaid overshirt! (Here with the yak-cotton T and undyed Hiking Trousers.) Looking forward to impending cooler weather.



I actually never was interested in overshirts/shirt jackets previously. Then DBF released this last year, and *click*! Awaiting the plum check overshirt from this season - @De Bonne Facture team, may I get an ETA on my order?
