Agree with the Foo; why hasn't this thread been around for ages?

I especially appreciate seeing the lining.

IIRC, and I may not be, that's from the "older" worsted Alsport book, isn't it?

^^^ Thanks for contributing, Bill. A lot of the photo links are broken, though.

Nope...they should all work. I don't know why if some do not load on your browser...could be a Starbucks thing.

I'm dreaming of a navy double-breasted suit whose buttons can be swapped at will for white MOP to turn the jacket into a blazer.

They do bespoke, not MTM. It's a little over 3000 euros for a jacket and a little over 4000 euros for a two-piece suit. That's VAT inclusive.

Don't you just want to reach out and touch them? For what it's worth, they're tight, yet pliable. Creamy, even. Yes, you should be jealous that I know that first hand.

It is. And it does justice to the coat -- much more so than in the usual robotic photos.

By the way, it occurred to me that, despite having seen the same tweed and flannel many times (I mean that in a good way: the uniform thing works for me), I've never seen any of Mafoofan's summer clothing. Now I'm almost curious.

Well, it could have been a bust or a mere conceit...but after having used it from spring to the present, and also on a couple short trips, it has worked out great.

The second (and last) one is the DB in plain navy Golden Bale flannel that is being made up now. That will add a set of buttons in brown horn, a darker brass (instead of the gilt buttons for the SB) buttons set, and a set of MoP buttons in more of a pearl white. The buttons for the DB can be used on the SB. Swapping them in an out is swift.
