LL Gun Club check & the best of both tweed

[The Doctor]

Anyone interested in seeing the LL Gun Club check & the best of both, in the making, would be more than welcome to visit, on my trip to the States next week, as I will have fittings of both but If possible, I would appreciate it if you could make appointments in advanced.

For my full itinerary, see website.

LL Gun Club Check, finished and ready to send to my customer. Modelled by my eldest son.

I really like the pattern, very nice. Is that a navy or black in the fabric?

Nice pattern matching there. Looks to be a very heavy cloth - how much does it weigh?

Nice work!

Thanks - heavy, but very beautiful.

I've got this tweed sitting in my office...thanks for inspiring (and reminding) me to have it made up.

Perfect - you'll have it ready just in time for spring / summer

Its next to impossible to get the seasonal timing right with bespoke. I always plan well, but end up getting my linen coats in November, and my heavy flannel suits in April

The cloth weighs in at 15 ounces, not 13. Michael Alden doesn't believe in tissue paper weights for tweed.

Not sure about the Gun Club, but the Best of Both weighs in at 13 oz AFAIK.

Will and Kolecho,

The cloth is a 650 grams (19 ounces) weight Highland tweed.

Wow!! That's topcoat weight for me.

 

[kolecho]

I don't think it was made up as 19oz. I believe 19oz refers to the sample.

Thanks. I knew one of them was 13 oz.
