Thought as much! Thanks for the feedback.Sleeve pitch is a bit off
Chest is a bit tight
Wow, I thought this thread was gone!
Took these before the heat wave came. The coat is made in a piece of camel hair/wool blend sourced from Harrisons Burley. Love the texture but it is unfortunately too soft, which made a lot of troubles in the whole process.
Trousering is 7343 from Minnis Eskdale Trousers. Soft but drapes very well.

Pretty sure I have trousers in this same fabric, though it is a little difficult to discern the exact color online. Mine are a stone color with an obvious twill weave to them. I got the swatch beneath this one made up as well, and while that one looks to be a standard, mid brown shade, after getting them home they show a decided olive tone in certain light. I have honestly never had a fabric change color so dramatically on me in different lighting.
I had very high hopes for the Eksdale book, and while the performance of the cloth cant be faulted (the trousers are really excellent and drape beautifully), there simply isnt enough in my wheelhouse in the range. I recently ordered a couple of pairs fromthe Fresco III book and may be able to get everything I need for wool trousers out of that book. Obviously flannel and cotton will require me to branch out, but I am spoilt for choice with the current Fresco options.
Do you have pictures of your fittings with Bauer? I'm Swedish and would like to know more about them. Have you ordered much from them? Are they any good?
Sorry, no fitting pics. I have ordered two pairs of trousers and the execution is really good. Working with Frederik is really a pleasure, he has a good eye and really knows what he is doing. Hoppas det hjälper!
Second fitting with Bntailor through Robin Pettersson. The trousers will be slightly wider but otherwise quite good. Fox Twist and Fox cricket flannel cloth. Three years old navy Carmina penny loafers.

Is this not a facet of how the trousers fit the individual?
One small thing, but the back pocket seems to gape. FWIW, I find that happens less when the pockets that are cut like this:
Don't ask me why the dart extends below the pockets. I don't know.
Seems reasonable to specify sleeving and lining; I have long done that (from specific range of LBD0 indeed I only ever have one sleeving (T760). Labels - yes cloth maker under the left ticket pocket and no others.
I'm really happy with a plain, slightly lighter than jacketing colored lining. The problem is, that the lining in the sleeves usually is a little lighter than in the front and back, so you can't just use the same cloth. But he promised to find something like it, so I will see. In the DB I'm wearing in the first photo, there is a perfect light grey lining in the front and back and terrible, gaudy yellow/white/black striped lining in the sleeves. Oh well.
What is that cutter depicted here wearing on his feet? They look more appropriate to someone wearing jeans.Picked up a jacket and a pair pf trousers from Bntailor through Robin Pettersson. I also had a fitting of a pair of summer trousers in finmeresco mid grey at A.W. Bauer.

A good looking suit; evening wear I assume, does not seem practical for day wear. Certainly marks you out in a good way.How about the sleeve length 1cm less, the jacket length 2cm less, the pant length should be let out some?
