Ongoing Bespoke Projects

Nice first fitting.
Must be a good tailor.

 

[Megakurth]

I don’t think he has a minimum. He visits New York maybe 4x/year, I believe. But don’t quote me on that. Pretty frequently.

During my last fitting he said he plans to return in September

Overdue but collected my Fox City Char Navy suit a month ago. Navy under deep sunlight but indoors you can see the highlights of charcoal. Very nice way of adding some visual interest to the classic worsted office suit.

Looking back I probably would’ve prefered notch lapels but this harpers back to my first suitsupply suit that started me on the menswear journey so I’m still quite happy with it

How warm is it in the summer outside?

Lovely cloth and style. I am partial to peak lapels, though I admit they limit the versatility of the jacket.

Did you consider a one-button style for the jacket? I have a PL, one button suit and I very much enjoy wearing it.

How warm is it in the summer outside?

It is quite warm. I have it full lined and was wearing it on a 30 degree sunny day in London. When idle or in shade it was okay to keep on but when walking outside in a sunny day I had to take it off.

I didn’t really consider it at all. My tailor asked me what I wanted and I initially wanted a notch but he convinced me to get a peak for something more interesting, and he thought it matched the cloth as it was his first time buying off Fox.

Looks great. Enjoy.
As previously mentioned, if you do another single breasted peak lapel, give serious thought to 1 button.

Love the striped red linen. Where is the fabric from?

 

[jonathanS]

Fabric was vintage stock from my shirtmaker that I fell in love with when I visited last year. Luckily he still had it for this order. It’s a 100% linen from a mill, I believe out of Milan. I can check.

I was introduced to the shirtmaker by one of my friends. If a friend introduces me, I don’t share.

It was just easier to cover it than get erase the name off the label.

As for the blue bag, I’m not commenting.

The original photo doesn’t do it justice. One of the shirts is a cotton linen piquet fabric. Really awesome shirt. I was worried it would look too much like a tuxedo shirts but it does not. It’s an awesome fabric.
