ICYMI Simon just did a write-up on tweed bunches and I thought I'd leave a link because it relates to some recent palaver here.

Simon Crompton is not a tailor just like a car salesman is not manufacturing automotiles

Way spicier here than I thought it'd be during the holiday season. Gentlemen, pause, take a breather, and prepare some of Mingus' legendary eggnog. And I guess put on some tweed if you need to warm up (prefer a chunky cardigan myself this time of year).

Bespoke isn't always a pinnacle of tailoring. I've seen a lot of bespoke that looks unamusing and I personally prefer MTM. Cost & quality is much better

The topic was tailor finds Harris tweed difficult to work with.
Find one who can work with HT. Awesome fabric.

If you guys want to talk about factories, made to measure or bespoke you can but let’s get back to this topic.

We are all saying what we know! No escalation all adults sharing their opinion.

Ricky Khanna and Simon Crompton are not tailors

One might dare suggest perusing where actual tailors also say the exact same thing lol.

As mentioned earlier, an entirely bizarre (and pointless) quibble over something not remotely disagreeable.

The topic is in S&M thread, it's not a bespoke tailors, it's RTW\MTM in a factory in China.
P.S. You really come around pretty aggressively. Just move on instead of being toxic towards other forum members

What did you find toxic ? Harris tweed? Or a tailor finding Harris tweed hard to work with in question?

Let’s keep it high level gents ! That is what we all are!

My post didn't have anything to do with your comments. I thought it might be helpful to those of us who aren't tweed experts. If you don't find it helpful that's fine but I see no point to your reply but rudeness.

I like J, on the whole, but it 100% read as some dude getting liquored up at a bar and jonesing to fight a rando

Never tried the trousers like that but might be too delicate and might bag a lot. Trousers need a bit of heaviness for it to drape nicely.

I have 360gm VBC flannel and they are nice. They also drape well! My corduroy trousers do not drape at all!

These have a bit of cashmere so should wear warmer. The weight is not disclosed 500 pages already on that topic ( it’s top secret ) but should be around the mid 300 gms I assume .

Do it!

And then return it if you don’t like them!

Spier has excellent return policy!!

Don't you find it tiring to constantly nag and jab a vendor in their affiliate thread given, among other reasons, they do not care to engage with you (or anyone to be fair) but also, because you appear to be a current customer?
