Hey all,
I have lurked this forum for a loong time and I decided to get a custom suit made by Richard Lim (in Los Angeles). I didn't have time to shop the fabric district before I went, so I ended up choosing a fabric from a company called British Woolens in Montreal. It's a navy window pane that seemed close to a super 150s that he was showing me in a bolt that he had on hand.
Has anyone else heard of this company or am I mistakenly buying into what the tailor had on hand? I wish I would have known what choices I had, what do you guys think I should have asked before I put down the deposit? Is there a huge difference between what you can hustle out of the fabric shops and what the Tailor stocks? (from what I have read, there is not, but I just wanted to hear any horror stories to be sure I wasn't falling into the same traps)
