How much cloth would you need to make a jacket and how much for pants? If you're size 36 jacket and 31 waist?

2.5 yards for a jacket and 1.5 yards for pants would be enough.

36 chest, 2 yards is plenty for a jacket even with a plaid pattern and patch pockets.

That is a very reasonable price. If I can be in NY during one their visits maybe I'll try one. I am hard to fit though.

Will you also be bringing cloth remnants from Tip Top...a fresco, perhaps?

I have 15/16 ounce fresco with windowpane pattern from Tip Top also a 12 ounce in medium light grey. If I order something I would get a SB suit , a DB suit and a topcoat. Write it off to R&D.

At least you don't pawn your dumpster diving off on unsuspecting customers.

A great experiment would be a Zoot Suit (aka Drape) And to best effect you could show it off while performing R&B.

Your perspective from up there is all skewed. How would you know?
