I've have not used Dugdale in the past but have seen some of their books they look to be very well made.


Thank you.

Checked Dugdale Brothers website, price are relatively cheaper. However, W.W. Chan is offering customers with Dugdale cloth.

Go to Dugdale Brothers website, find an item , click for buy, it will display the price. For twon classic is around GBP 29 per m.


Sorry I meant what does Chan charge using that cloth.

There are also nice hopsacks in Harrison's Fine Classics and Minnis Classic II if you're looking for a lighter weight.


Harrison's Frontier is also a hopsack. I have two suits from Chan in this fabric. I know Patrick recommends it highly.

It's good to know WW Chan is offering Dugdale. I know a few tailors uses this cloth and they highly recommend it. Over at Cutter and Tailor forum Sator highly recommended Dugdale very earlier on saying is a underrated cloth. I want to give it a try if I don't already have so many cloths.

Here's the vest:

Patrick is going to narrow the gap between the shirt collar and vest.

What should I get for my next vest?

I would prefer no adjustment belt at the back of the vest if using cloth instead of linning. I think it will look cleaner. If it is bespoke, no need for me to worry about fitting issue.


Good point! I'm sure that I can have Patrick remove it.

Do you think the back of your pant looks a bit baggi ?


I asked Patrick about the pants, and he said he couldn't take them in that much without sacrificing comfort. Also, I think they drape more nicely when my legs are closer together.
