It was great to see you Chris and Matthew and I very much appreciated the cakes and pastries you brought for us and if you had said, I'd always give you a trade discount.

I believe that ability and quality vary among the A&S family and I cast my vote with my wallet as others do with their choices.

I suppose my stuff tends toward the cleanest while still draped, and more waisted. But Edwin will happily make you something more sweater-y. I think all these guys can adapt to what you like...how successfully is perhaps another matter. Hitchcock Junior's stuff for Butler, for example, reflect Butler's taste and personality in ways that I hope we all expect as given in a bespoke garment.

I agree! - as to "unique or tedious client requests" I have presented Steven with my full share, and he takes it in a stride, as a challenge and with a professional result.

This could be very interesting for our New York members:

Paul and I will host a small party of about 20-25 people. The aim will be to have a nice glass or two. You canÂ pick both of our brains and find out everything we can tell you about Savile Row tailoring. We'll have samples of our work, both completed and half made. There'll be all the clothÂ samples you could wish to see. Not to mention you'll get all the gossip of Savile Row first hand

...
Another thing we're going to do is give the you the chance to win a Savile Row suit cut and made by English Cut. In fact if our wine intake is restricted we'd like to measure and draft the pattern there that evening in front of you allÂ for the lucky fellow. Believe me it'll be a very rare scene as you don't get many tailors cutting patterns from scratch these days. I'll pick up the bar tab and the cost of the suit.

Steed (Edwin DeBoise) bespoke 3 roll 2 jacket in Scabal 12oz two-ply tweed, three patch (for those of you who care, this is a model with the front cut, swept-cut fronts, and vintage, curvy A&S patch shapes)

How wide do you usually get your lapels, Vox?

George · Oct 8, 2010

Looks like it has swelled edges.

I don't know. I've never asked for a specific width. I think they are about four inches.

Yes, it does.

Looks like a solid. What cloth is it?

And would you wear it to a club with suspenders?

Maybe it's my monitor but I see some large scale windowpane there

Nope...it's Scabal 12oz two-ply tweed:

Which club? The Brown University Club of New York?

For what it's worth and with all due respect for your and your tailor's expertise and efforts, I think they still look a bit boxy,
especially the longish breast pocket. Perhaps that particular fabric even enhances that.

Here's an example (the website was down, so I couldn't find one with a patch breast pocket) with a little more 'swing',
which I like in patch pockets:

I realize my comment is based only on a few pictures, but when you look at those, the difference seems quite big.
I think it has to do with the size/proportion, the placement and the shape (especially the top line of the pocket,
which seems to be entirely straight on yours, or do they go up a bit on the outsides?).

What do you think?
