Ongoing Bespoke Projects

I'm a big fan of him in Dune, honestly. Haven't seen him in anything else, but I don't think there's any need to insult the actor for his genetics making him look young.

It kills me from the inside that in the two relevant pics of that advertorial there is no shirt cuff shown at all.

 

[ericgereghty]

to my eye the house style seems a little off, the jackets seem a bit too long but i guess that might be subjective? Skews a bit zoot suit to my eye....not that there is anything wrong with that per se and im certainly no expert.

Can't speak to quality (I'll happily accept a freebie and provide honest feedback, AB!), but, though it trends a bit costumey...I don't think the pieces look bad, at all...at least on AB/the slender (I think Pakistani) gent he occasionally highlight on social media.
I don't think his design head looks particularly good in his garments, but on looks alone, he strikes me as a tougher physique to flatter, regardless of cut.

Mighty aggressive there are we? You have no idea what I do, maybe you should be humble first!

Then why’d you mention me? You seem to care a lot. I made a joke man.

As for you being a wealthy man, the wealthy men I know don’t need to go around bragging on message boards about it.

You, sir, are the used Bentley salesmen who Mr. Alden is referring to in the quote below.

online bespoke for 4k and also marking up own distributed cloth

selling dreams to naive and uneducated people, what a nice business

Progress isn't fast, but with a one-man shop, that's to be expected! The latest fitting showed some nice improvement to the shape/silhouette and a tweak to the shoulders. We're adding a small bit to the back length to address the balance and there is some slight twisting of the sleeves that is getting sorted out.

Also picked out a nice wool/cashmere for an overcoat (about 680 grams) and am going to try a shirt with them, as well.

May I ask, why is your lapel so wide and jacket so long ?

 

[hpreston]

Can I just say I do love it every time AB drops in, and the resulting two to three pages of sheer entertainment.

Its like a mini-Foo threak to enjoy and then go back to regularly scheduled programming

hey maybe we arent giving MR. Bee a fair shake? can anyone vouch for the quality of the work? Any customers care to chime in?

I think Okey looks great in everything he wears. The cut certainly flatters his physique.

I do, however, argue that digital bespoke is not true bespoke as we know the term. (Fittings with a living human being in the same room). The value ain’t there for 4k, IMHO. However, you can’t knock success. I wish him the best in his endeavors.

As for the Harrison’s collaboration: Why not? No one else offers a direct purchase from Harrison’s if someone wishes to stock up on unfunded liabilities.

I just got these trousers in London Lounge QUCT, an amazingly soft and heavy (600g) cavalry twill. I'm surprised to say that they feel softer than my Fox flannels.

Overall I'm happy with the fit. The hem is 21.5cm (8.5") flat and I'm wondering if I shouldn't narrow it to 20 cm. What do you think?

You need 1.75 or 2 inch cuffs. Those look dainty. Hem width is fine.

Thanks for the feedback. The turn-ups are 1.75 inches although they do appear shorter on the picture.
