Ongoing Bespoke Projects

I'm pretty sure Salmon does the same. Clever idea.

I presume he runs a limited company structure; meaning that it’s his company, not himself personally, that pays the bill. It will be presumably an allowable deductible expense against corporation tax, and he might be able to reclaim the VAT. Think of it another way; if he had to fund the purchase personally, he will have to earn around £10.5K (assuming he is a higher rate tax payer) to have £6K to make the purchase. The company only needs £4.8K net (assuming it claims the VAT back) to make the same purchase.

I have a limited company myself, I think it's time my company expanded into reviews of bespoke tailoring and high end watches!!

Local Tailor? Where Iive, the SanFrancisco Bay Area,
there are no local tailors. Are there?

Tailors Keep does in-house bespoke. I’ve had 4 pents made from them and am happy with the results. They do jackets too.

I have heard that a bespoke suit is like $4,500 or so, is that correct?

I honestly don’t know the base price, but that sounds about right. A little more, a little less, depending on fabric.

Thoughts on getting this in raw cream silk for a summer sc?

Not sure where you live, but silk to me is generally quite warm-wearing, compared to, say, linen or cotton, for summer fabrics. But the jacket is beautiful, so whatever you do, wanna see the process and results.

They recently quoted me about $6000 for a three-piece, fabric was not entry level, so that price range sounds correct to me.

Speaking of TK, they do great work. I'd recommend swinging by if you ever get the chance.

First fitting and I´m very happy. A few minor details need adjustment but overall it looks very good.

Dear @Markus W,

Indeed, a quite nice first fitting!

Is this a Caccioppoli fabric?

Best,

Dimitris

The second fitting for this three piece was all the way back in the spring, but it was worth the wait:

Cloth is Drapers Ascot 4-ply. Salvo patterned and cut the suit using a modified drape method: slightly extended shoulders with the not often seen “manica mappina”, in which the upper sleeve is full and the fabric is pressed out, and a generous chest in which a piece of the canvas is placed on the bias, which gives a bit of fullness when worn. Pants are cut close to the hips, have a single pleat that lays flat thanks to a full upper leg, and gradually tapers to the foot.

Not really, but they are planning to, pending travel opening up again. I'd say March at the earliest.

Hi to all the members. I would like the members opinion about to make the attached fabric. It is a heavyweight tweed from Lovat. I want an overcoat that could be worn with casual attire. My first thought is a balmacaan. Any others suggestions ? Thanks.
