Sport Coat

I was considering one of those herringbones for a casual overcoat, maybe the green. I really like that wheat color, I just don't think it works well with my skin tone.

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?

Hmm, some people on this forum would have you believe that skin tone doesn't matter

I'm sure for some people it doesn't, unfortunately I'm not one of those people.

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

It's a Harris Tweed that I'll be using for a sport coat made by Dalcuore later in the year

Where is this fabric from? Looks really stunning!

I still have something like three or four meters, if anyone wants to buy it off me.

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.

I have a steed in the oven as well (P & H glenroyal SC) and I'm actually going to phone in an addition to the order as well (P & H hartwist SC)...

excited...

Meeting with WW Chan in two weeks for some additional orders (they have my fit really locked in and I still feel like they are a great bargain...)

I've tried to start a thread on bespoke shirts in Naples and would much appreciate any first hand experiences to be shared here: http://www.styleforum.net/t/537109/shirtmakers-in-napoli/0_30

Cheers,

I think Simon Crompton from permanent style uses Kiton as his shirt maker. No idea what the cost is but I imagine not cheap.

That may have been true a long time ago, but is definitely not still the case.

Second fitting, Rubinacci ovcercoat in early January. Garment was adjusted and sent to me by FedEx. I am now enjoying the coat in our harsh climate. Very pleased with the result. I'll post some pics of the finished coat later. Have a great Tuesday.

Looks as though he's lovingly nuzzling your shoulder.
