Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

[samtalkstyle]

Even with tailors my understanding is it’s still quite pricey

I work in a tailoring house, can confirm

Assuming your tailor doesn’t mark up the price my understanding is it’s only like 20% cheaper

Yes, for some stuff there are cheaper alternatives. But for bespoke I'd rather just get the cloth I want. Fox Tweed is definitely different than most other tweeds. I am not saying better, but the market trend seems to be favouring more comfortable (i.e., softer) fabrics.

The same applies, btw., to Fox Somerset Jacketing. Classical designs, but a very comfy feeling.

understand if it’s a unique design, you want what you want, I’d just encourage you to see if there is something else out there to you liking that meets your specifications.

I noticed that if you actually select a length option, the price drops. For example, with the Fox Tweeds, you initially see £175/m. Select 2.5m, and it's £365, which is £146/m.

Regardless, it's understandable that they don't want to undercut tailors.

This seems to be an error on the website, it is probably without VAT and in the cart, it is back to the full price.

I type corrected! Forgot about VAT...

Horker, take a look a Bill's Classic Coatings if you haven't. Many great choices in there.

Super steezy cloth. Was tempted, but, for better or worse, I hate herringbone, for the most part.

So, you did!

Congrats, it seems a really nice fabric! I presume SBPL No. 13?

Ill need to see the fabric in person but if it’s dark enough yes. I did a stock take and I have 6 dinner jackets of some sort...so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was thinking about that but maybe I’ll branch out. We will see. Perhaps a 4x1 db with three pleated patch pockets

Doesn't look like I can buy directly off the website, not sure how this works.
