Hello everyone,
I came to the conclusion that I should have a Charcoal Grey suit in my wardrobe, after having a staple grey M&S fully canvass suit and a bespoke 3pc chalkstripe suit. At the beginning I was looking through various MTM program and ultimately end up having a order at Graham Browne, it is because I found their price very competitive to the HK bespoke makers, and it seems they are very liberal on fitting style and good range of fabrics.
1st meeting:
I went to the shop on the 29th February, It was around lunch time, and the shop helper 'Dan' had guide through the fabric selections and style, he was very helpful, not pushy and very willing to accommodate my needs, the initial purchase was very pleasant and I am already pleased. I can't wait for the first fitting to see how accurate they are with the measurements.
My specification (I had this in my mind so the filing was very quick):
The Blenheim Collection by J.J Minnis - super 130 with 16.8 micro wool (Dark Grey)
6x4 DB with 3.75 inches peaked lapel
Slightly roped shoulder, light padded and light canvass
Ticket + straight pocket
SB waistcoat with lapel, five buttons, four pockets
Straight fit trouser, side taps, braces buttons, 1.5 inches turn ups, single inward pleat
No back trouser pockets
The above specification, cost £1500 based on the fabric, pretty similar to Hong Kong
I will post some pictures after the 21st Feb, after my first fitting and tell you a bit more of the experiences
At the end of the purchase, I will compare between the fit of my bespoke suits and comment on the craftsmanship
