Tweed in Progress #2

[randallr]

Agreed, the length is fine.

Looks great to me

Who's making the coats? They look quite nice.

I agree that the jackets appear a tad short, but it's hard to tell without a full body shot. The shaping is very, very nice, and makes it obvious that you benefit a great deal from bespoke; my only nit to pick is the apparent lack of curvature to the back of the sleeve.

I would have done without the ticket pocket on the green tweed; the placement of the flap is part of what makes the jacket look shorter than it might actually be.

Love the cloth choices too

And agree that they don't look too short. The blue lining is the only thing I didn't enjoy.

The ticket pocket - yes, it does make the jacket / torso look shorter and less slimming, but if you like it who cares. I think anyone who understands something about fit would see you in these and appreciate it. Enjoy your new tweeds

Cheers

I thank you sir for bringing Breamish back into the styleforum vernacular. I also like those pants, I find many here afraid of dark brown wool pants and I think your post shows that they work.

I don't think the jackets are too short. The photos are obviously taken from higher than the subject (note the floor) which might give the appearance of foreshortening.

These jackets are making me reconsider my prohibition against solidish tweeds. I especially like the grey herringbone. What's the source for that cloth?

very good work. shoulders are excellent.
the only thing I am noticing is that the fronts look a bit to big. they are a little too close at the bottom and pulling up a bit.
look at how the fronts are pinned. over just a bit to far. you seem to need a bit more strap!

Andrew Rogers, there's something wrong with your avatar.

Not to threadjack things, but I deliberately made Mr Flusser upside down.

 

[randallr]

Figured as much.

Good to know. Now I just have to make about five times more than I do now...

I suspected as much.

I am not sure if that is the desired effect, but you look like you about to explode in those jackets.
