yes, and yes. before I got the ball rolling on TaT it was my original idea to make suits all as separates, where none had matching trouser/jacket. But reality is, guys want matching jacket/trews....tho personally I do like suit separates quite a bit, esp if you're going for a casual-dressy vibe.

Yo Jason, I seem to recall you had some diagrams for how to take body measurements. They were body silhouettes/outlines with guides on where to measure. I can't seem to find them anywhere in my inbox or on the site. Any chance of getting them off you again?

They're in the blog (thickasthievesla.blogspot.com). I forget which date, but they're pretty close to the front page.

For a suit I'm going to be using in a business / sales / law school environment, would you go with notched or peak lapels?

2 button conservative cut.

Depends how conservative they are in your environment. Then again I had lunch with a partner of a law firm the other day, he was at least 50 years old and he had a grey peak lapel suit. And, this is in a city in Australia where everyone is really slow on the uptake of trends, so I think it would be a safe bet.

I was wondering the same myself. Your suits are killer already, but a 3-piece would infinitely AWEsome. Also wondering if you make ties from the same material as the suit?

I don't make a whole lot on each, but as long as I dont lose $ I'm cool


So this was posted about a year and a half ago, but I was wondering do the same prices still exist or has there been price increases?

^^ no that was a special offer for the first few months. since then prices have gone up slightly due to everything costing more in terms of what it costs me to get these in your hands. Hey gas was $3 a year and half ago, now we're all paying over $4

apologies if this has already been covered multiple times, but how much would a pair of wool trousers cost by itself?
