Here are some fitting (forward fitting on the suit, basted fitting on the dinner jacket and trousers, although these are approximations with traveling tailors) photographs from this afternoon with my bespoke tailor, Edwin DeBoise, proprietor of Steed, who was in Boston visiting clients.
The first is a SB, three button suit made from the brown nailhead from the new Lesser 9.5/10 ounce book, the other is a DB dinner jacket and trousers in a Fisher (the blackest black I have ever seen, and the only reason why I changed my mind from doing a midnight blue...it is deep black in every light).
Nothing really controversial in either: the first has a out ticket pocket; the latter has a fishtail back for the trousers (sorry, no good photo of this). Flat fronts on the trousers; two inch cuffs on the suit.
Don't mind the shirt...it does not fit well.
There were quite a lot of adjustments.
I hope that you find the photographs amusing.
