The Anderson & Sheppard Expatriates Thread

[classicalthunde]

A few pics of my semi-bespoke trousers which I was able to get done while I was in NYC for a few months, happily coinciding with Steed's NYC visit.

As I learned, semi-bespoke is done completely in house. Edwin cut this pair. For semi-bespoke, there's no second fitting and the trousers are machine and not hand sewn. I was under the misimpression that they cut the fabric in England then send it to the MTM factory to be machine sewn. This is the Fox air fabric I mentioned earlier. I'll be getting another pair in Fox air for the next one, possibly with forward pleats though the plain front worked out ok, despite the height of the rise. I need a little more room in the waist. All this would be taken care of in the second fitting, but alas, I'm not in NYC anymore so the bespoke option can't happen.

anyone have feedback on how the semi-bespoke option has panned out for suits/sport coats? I'm interested in possibly commissioning a tweed and I'm not a stickler for handmade vs. machine made and the price is in line with my budget...but I am worried about the straight to finish since I haven't done any orders with Steed before...

Was thinking something like this, but with a brown Harris Tweed length that I have:

I invoked my 3% Irish heritage at this last fitting.

Anyone have any photos to share of their Redmayne MTM suit or sport coat in use? Know they’ve been talked about extensively on the forum, but I’m having trouble finding many photos

As a side note, John Hitchcock at A&S had the royal warrant for many years and probably still does. But his son Steven is also making things for the King.

I believe @corpseposeur has and had good things to say about them...

Steed: MTM jacket in lovely mock leno from H&S. Semi-bespoke trousers in Fox Brothers Fox Air (trousers cut by Edwin, then machine sewn). Was all very comfy in 90 F degree weather (better in shade).

The Steed MTM jacket looks great. I thought their MTM model(s) had a more built up
"British Shoulder". Or so I recall pics from the website a few years ago. Was your shoulder
modified to make it more natural?

Thanks. I might have asked for a natural shoulder, less padding. I believe that is an option in their MTM.

Has anyone tried Redmayne’s remote suit copying service? If so, what did you think?

Too much belly on those lapels.
