Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

[Odd I/O]



Yup Yup, I'm in Greater Toronto as is the tailor. I wonder if there's somewhere to see drapers books online?

Which tailor are you planning on using?

His name is Frank and he works out of the Brampton Mall, which isn't a very nice location really but the alterations he's done, including fixing the shoulders on a couple of SCs have turned out really well. The stuff he's made for other people is full canvas and looks fantastic, especially for the price and especially after the alteration work he's done I'm confident he can nail a fit. Plus he's very easy to talk to, not weird or high pressure as I hear some of the TO tailors can be. I've already posted the example of his work below multiple times so I'll spoiler it.

Camouflage. In linen, Cordura and cotton.

No, I'm not insane. At least not professionally diagnosed.

Also, can anyone recommend places to pick up good fabrics in NYC?

This, this and that.

Not sure the Cordura is usable, it's about as stiff as Loden you haven't worn in a while but at a nanometer-thickness.

How many San Francisco members would be up for seeing Delfino fabrics in person?

From a trunk show or just in general

For the gunclub lovers, I will be posting this on B&S later, I don't think anyone makes this gunclub color combo right now, the added bonus is that this is a wool/linen mix, so it has a dryer hand than worsted giving it a more tweed like appearance/feel, but still softer than tweed.

Can this tweed still be had? I had no imminent plans to get another tweed jacket and now after seeing it I can't even contemplate getting anything else.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I tried getting a custom run going, but there wasn't much interest.

Currently working on a navy houndstooth Fresco, navy Donegal tweed, and a brown silk/ linen mix though. Still working through some sample runs, but hoping for something solid and finalized soon.

I may try to push for that green tweed again later, as I really want a sport coat made from it myself.
