Ongoing Bespoke Projects

If you're happy with it, that's what's important. Your pics seriously make me want to book an appointment when they're in Boston.

What's in store for summer is a new cream linen suit, a linen herringbone jacket, and a jacket made last Fall from @dieworkwear
's linen/silk blend. At least, that's what's new. Oh, and a linen safari jacket made by @CraftsmanCo


I like tweed. It's hard to say no. But I have wanted to obtain this particular London Lounge cloth for a while now, so it went to the head of the queue when I wore the previous owner down. I don't care for 3 roll 2 or 2.5. I also did not want patch pockets. I'm happy with the blue-ish jacket that I had made with inverted-pleat patch pockets and I might do something like that again. But this Shetland is being made up essentially in identical fashion to my Glenroyal jacket. That's my comfort zone.

Ah, I understand. I like tweed as well, but I find myself only reaching for it when I go to work. I find the fabric a bit too heavy and rustic for what I want when going out. I guess I will be sitting on some fabrics for a while.

That's fair. I would have to think hard, but when I'm at home I generally wouldn't wear a tweed jacket out in the evening (unless I've been out all day, I suppose). When I'm in the UK, for most of the year I might wear a tweed jacket in the evening if it's cool. My family lives out in the country, so it makes more sense.

What are fabrics are you sitting on?

Is that herringbone a Donegal or is it one of the new LL herringbone linens? If the latter, I heartily recommend getting it made up. And that b/w houndstooth looks like quite a sophisticated fabric, easily able to transition from day to evening. Is it also a tweed?

A couple shots of my W. Bill Phoenix jacket

Is this the same WB14821 that Despos is making for me? He called me the second week of January to let me know he would be cutting it soon, so mine shouldn't be far behind yours.

Is that Molloy & Sons? 610g? If so, what are you thinking of doing with it?

Yep, that's it.

On-going bespoke projects, good question...

I've got on order:
- A W Bill cream linen suit broken down in sport coat to be made by Dalcuore and trousers by Ambrosi



- A blue Donegal (P&H) sport coat by Stark & Sons



- A potential raglan DB coat if I find the appropriate material, with Dalcuore as well

And I got the delivery of the final product of this jacket in Japanese jersey cotton (feels like a luxurious sweat shirt basically)

I just pulled the trigger on three items, two jackets and a pair of trousers. Its a new maker for the trousers and if they do a good job then I am switching. My current maker has been having trouble with my pents. Its like, do you even squat, bro?


Jacket 1 Wool from the Riviera boo. This fabric has a much higher "**** you" quality to it in person

Jacket 2 Linen fromHuddersfield, 12-13 ounces

Trouser is a light gray from the VBC Sunny Seasons book, no pictures unfortunately.

I should have them all by April/ May and will report back.

Met with Steed yesterday and now have a 3/2 in Smiths Botany in progress.

ETA: is there a Steed thread? Besides the A&S expats one? Seems like there should be.

- A blue Donegal (P&H) sport coat by Stark & Sons [COLOR=A74345] [/COLOR]

What fabric is the brown cloth? Not the blue birdeyes Donegal. I think it is interesting as a topcoat.

Very similar to this W. Bill...
