Ongoing Bespoke Projects

Here I have everything from yumeko, it's a Dutch brand and they have regular black Friday sales. So I wait for that and order a bunch.

For towels I go with Walra, another Dutch brand the last batch held up more than twenty years. I dont expect the new ones to keep going for that long but we will see.

Another idea, buy your own linen cloth and make your own bedsheets, it really is not that hard! Or let someone else stitch them together.
The only thing you have to make sure is that you keep your stitch straight.

or just order the fabric and have it made up by your local tailor
it's nothing complicated

This is what I was thinking: how complicated can it be to make a sheet? Especially if we know where to source the fabric? / have access to it. Same with pillow cases for a sofa.

Thank you @te0o and @CLH03, my instinct was that a dowdy judge or opposing lawyer would not understand that the pants have side tabs and think "This amateur forgot his belt," but that is a risk I am willing to run in order to look good. I will have them make belt loops to set aside.

fam get the belt loops.

the side tabs are no match for your elite level of overthinking.

Some of us live in one the wealthiest places in the world, ie. the San Francisco Bay Area,
where there are NO first-rate, nor probably marginally competent, bespoke tailors. So, it's
quite complicated.

why would you give something like that to a bespoke tailor?
toss it to someone with an industry grade sewing machine like an alterations tailor and pay him 50-100 bucks, depending on how many sheets you want to have done
