    The Ultimate "HARDCORE" Shoe Appreciation Thread (Bespoke only)

    Some are traditional slip ones, most are the side gussetted "lazyman" design. Comfort is supreme. All I need now is a specialist Patina artist to add some beauty when I want my future commissions to have different coloring. Yet, I have been pleased with what burnishing and antiquing work...

    Alan Bee Unless you run cold...indoors with 65 degree A/C, shy away from the 16oz suit A less expensive alternative would be to try some trousers in the 16oz range such as cavalry twill or woolen flannel. My legs run cold so I tolerate heavier trousers better than heavier jackets and...

    Griffyndor, it pains me to pay 120 pounds (with VAT), per meter to Lovat for their cloths, but Holland and Sherry tends to be double to triple that price. Please post a link to the H&S stuff that you feel is worth checking out. I have not seen anything this distinct from Fox (although they...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Chobochobo, I didn't even order the vest, the tailor surprised me at my fitting by stating he had extra cloth left over and made a lapeled vest. At a 100 euros, it was an offer I could not resist. I would not personally have asked for lapels on the vest as the cloth is dense and spongy...

    The Ultimate "HARDCORE" Shoe Appreciation Thread (Bespoke only)

    Clifford Roberts The first shoe, I wanted the adelaide throat to remind me of a women's pear shaped back side. Clifford met my expectations, plus I've wanted a crescent shaped brogue apron for some time now. The second shoe reminded me of a D'Anunzio brogue G&G made years ago...I just imagined...

    I am looking to purchase a few trouser lengths of various Donegal tweed colors. Does anyone have an online source or a cloth merchant contact (in the US or UK) who sells Abraham Moon Donegal wool cloths? Abraham Moon does not directly sell to individual consumers. Kind regards in advance to...

    I didn't take any photos at the fittings, but here are the final results with a Korean tailor I've used as my entry into bespoke. The jacket was made with something from Martin & Sons and the pants with a wool gabardine from Scabal. [/ I like the high waisted trousers. Good crease...
