Hello,
I am planing to dip my toe in the world of bespoke and have a sports coat and possibly a SB suit made.
My first foray will be in London but decidedly off row. From reading the forums but the tailor seems to have a good reputation (Though I am more than keen to receive your recommendations.) However all the comments say that you need to know precisely what you are asking for and clearly detail your requirements.
I haven't a clue.
I am 5'10" with a 40" chest and 32" (ish) waist. Blond hair and fair skin. My back does curve a little inward at the bottom and most off the peg suits do curve in tightly following the contours of my spine.
For the sports jacket I'm thinking something like this JQ creation (would that I could afford him!)
How many vents should one have? Should the cuff buttons work? Should the jacket be cut to completely eliminate the bend in my lower back? How low should it hang?
Sorry to bombard you with so many questions but I am keen to make the first attempt at bespoke a fruitful one.
For the suit, like many readers I'm sure, I am looking for some sort of Connery James Bond meets George Clooney fusion. Probably in a dark grey. But I'll need a very good suit to look like those two! I don't need to wear a suit for work, so this will be more for evening wear in both London and Los Angeles.
Again I have little idea about fabric weight and construction so all pointers will be very gratefully received.
Many Thanks,
Matt
