Bespoke/M2M Shacket/Overshirt?

[Socks_mtg]

Friends,

A rather curious question. I’m after an overshirt/shacket/chore in a particular Fox Air cloth.

After being quoted what seemed a high sum from Luxire, I wondered if this was the sort of job traditional tailors would take up, and a ballpark for what it might cost? Any references to UK tailors/experience particularly appreciated.

I haven't used them so I can't comment on quality, but Colmore do a chore coat 'from £425'.

I don’t have references to UK tailors, but I’ve seen quotes ranging from $1,000 - $1,200 for a MTM chore coat using Fox Air cloth in the United States.

I’m not sure what Luxire quoted you, but perhaps you might want to look at some of the Neapolitan tailors that travel to London. I believe that both Sartoria Pirozzi and Solito might be able to do a chore coat for you at a reasonable price using Fox Air.
