Off the top of my head Mason and sons...but costly...close to bespoke pricingGoing back to the ivory dinner jacket discussion... any idea where to find a decent OTR option? Looks like I will need one for July, Covid permitting. I don't have time to get one made.
Depends where you are. If you are in the UK, maybe, maybe Ede & Ravenscroft or Gieves & Hawkes. In the US (or the Europe, too, for that matter) you could try Suit Supply.Going back to the ivory dinner jacket discussion... any idea where to find a decent OTR option?

If I wanted to wear a single breasted shawl as a three piece any recommendations for the style of waistcoat? I want something with lapels but cant decide what style ie SB, DB, squared off or shawl?
Yeah I know but I have some spare shantung silk from the facings and thought I might get a waistcoat made rather than a cummerbundShawl lapels = cummerbund
Peak lapels = vest
Yeah that was my template for a three pieceNot necessarily.

I dunno... shawl+shawl seems too much of a good thing. I would think DB would be a bit of a solecism with a shawl DJ. The Cary Grant picture there looks like no lapel SB waistcoat, if I had to guess.If I wanted to wear a single breasted shawl as a three piece any recommendations for the style of waistcoat?

I'd recommend single-breasted, u-shaped, no lapels. I have a midnight blue shawl collared jacket with which I do wear a waistcoat. But, to @lordsuperb's point, more than half the time I wear a cummerbund, instead.If I wanted to wear a single breasted shawl as a three piece any recommendations for the style of waistcoat?

... I only have six dinner jackets that I wear regularly.
