FTFYWell you confirmed my initial thoughts, alltravelingtailors get it wrong. Sometimes I just want to scream at them.

The first suit and most of the trousers were made while Steven was still visiting the Bay Area. But for the the two jackets I'm talking about I mostly went to him in London. I think to assert that "all traveling tailors get it wrong" is nonsense.
FTFY
The first suit he made for me is fine and all the trousers he's made are similarly fine. But the Escorial jacket had balance issues that I still can't unsee even though it's vastly better than it was. But the most recent jacket, a DB in a Holland and Sherry flannel, is frustrating. At first it was finished just basically too big, which was odd because it looked fine at the forward fitting. Then, after that was corrected, the back and especially the back of one sleeve is not at all satisfactory. So it needs to go back for more work. I'm sure it will be fine in the end, it's just taking longer than it should.
Dear Gentlemen,
"The Negroni Tweed" by Fox Brothers: the FW 2019-20 fad?
No thank you, I'll pass.
Opinions?
Best,
Dimitris

Dear @David Reeves,
Certainly not of my taste, but you did a great job sir!
I sincerely hope that your client would enjoy it in health!
Cheers,

I’m looking at these two mid-grey whipcords in the H&S Dakota book for some pants.
