Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

The #0304 in 14oz? My DB of that is my favorite suit!

That's the one. Do you think its versatile enough to wear as a blazer as well a full suit? I think I have enough for a three piece.

I think so although tough for me to really contemplate since as a DB it really is suit only material for me.

Recent Peter Lee commission of London Lounge Blue Shetland Tweed. Very comfortable and a killer fabric. Peter was able to make this with a one piece back and no front darts.

Looks great

That's awesome, David. I'll also have the single-piece back, I think...

Slewfoot, looks really good. Didn't you just send the cloth to Lee? Did you have any fittings at all?

 

[Slewfoot]

Thanks guys! I visited HK in early November and had two fittings. I think it could have used one more as there are a few minor tweaks I might have made, but it's very nice as is. The one thing that irked me at the second fitting and still does is the patch breast pocket. Not sure I'm into the shape. I'll see if it grows me, but Peter can certainly always change it and even do a boat shaped welt breast pocket if need be. We'll see after I wear it more this season.

I am not too fond of them either, I'd personally do a two patch pocket but that's just me. I also think that the hip pockets are slighly higher, compare it to your recent Steed which is perfect to my eyes. What do you think of that?

 

[Slewfoot]

^ I see what you mean. The Steed pockets are a bit lower, but I'm fine with both as is. They each have their own character. I'll re-post photos if I get the welt breast pocket put on. If I send it in I may also have the waist nipped a slight touch in the center to add more shape.
