Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

[WillingToLearn]

I am new to IG. I have a whopping 6 followers. Help me understand, why would someone pay to have people follow them?

Psh. Clearly you've never had an entourage.

x-posting here this quick and relevant question for the tailoring cloth crowd (and a short break from admiring AB's six-pack)

We're considering doing a special re-run of the amazing green/brown deadstock Fox fabric we did this season. There were less than 20 meters left and we made very few jackets. Those who have seen them know they came out incredible.

As we've done a couple times in the past, we would offer MTO for jackets and cloth cut lengths. I'm personally itching to get a full suit made

I'd like a show of hands - who would be interested in being part of this for a cloth length?

Is that the current grey nailhead? And Prince Shetland, or another? I am losing track.

Yes it is the just delivered grey nailhead, the Prince Shetland and also the Sicilian Tweed

Woah. I’m genuinely surprised by the interest in that fabric. I’m not saying it’s bad, I’m just curious: how many bespoke creations do y’all have that are in on the fabric.

Maybe it’s bc I’m relatively starting my bespoke wardrobe, but that is a nice odd jacket that wouldn’t be near the top of my list of commissions.

I can appreciate it, but mossy dingy green ain’t my thang.

Mossy green/brown absolutely is my thing, which is why I need to sit this one out. Great looking fabric with real depth and interest, though.

How sad would the world be if we all liked the same things

My advice (to you and a few others) would be to focus on what you like and not spend too much energy trying to analyze (or vituperate about) what you dislike.

I was just curious. Its a fine fabric; just wouldn't be my first, second, third, even 10th commission. I was just curious about other's relative wardrobes / how many bespoke pieces they have.
