Dvid Lesser is still refusing to sell directly to uk based customers even if he told me his margins would be a lot better if he decided to do so...

There is little incentive for him to sell direct. If you want Lessers you will buy it anyway albeit through the tailor. What is his upside? The vast majority of his business is with tailors making for people who have absolutely no interest in sourcing cloth themselves, and these tailors like the exclusivity - why destroy that USP?
I was wondering the same thing. If a UK customer wants it he can just ask his tailor to get it for him.
No tailor's markup? No middleman local distributor markup? Some tailors are unwilling to go to the effort of obtaining certain fabrics lest they offend their current suppliers?
Also, sometimes I know I am going to want a certain cloth made up some day, but there is risk that it could run out. In such cases, I'd rather have a piece in my attic all ready to go.
Why exactly do you want to purchase cloth directly rather than simply ask your tailor to use it? Are you going to cut a suit yourself?
They charged me an arm and a leg for it...
The internet in this case is a bad thing. You want to be wholesalers without the over head and it's just not going to happen.
Sorry to be that guy but you ALL have to retrain your brain's.

It's not really true that you can NEVER save on cloth buying for yourself. Maybe it's not common, and it's arguably more trouble than it's worth. But certainly it can be done.
