Ongoing Bespoke Projects

Love my gun club, especially with big check ties 🙌

@Crispyj I was also bummed that the Mare gun club never came to pass … But Q’s stock looks promising 👀

Why are you even on this thread? You seem to still be angry I said men are men; women are women; & bespoke is bespoke! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Unless it’s “custom made”. Then it could be bespoke, MTM, or MTO.

Who made that? Was that satoki? I remember you had a jacket like that made for your first jacket from satoki, but can’t remember. But it doesn’t look like satoki (it’s hard to tell from the photo)

If I recall, the main reason I passed on that fabric was from talking to people about the mare fabric. It would’ve worn too warm for my liking during the summer.

At any rate, I’m quite excited about the gunclub jacket that I have coming this fall. I just didn’t realize it was a gunclub until this conversation! 😂

this thread isn’t “custom made” though it’s “bespoke” 🤷🏻‍♂🤦🏻‍♂️

Did you reserve that vintage LP cashmere yet? I'm having second thoughts on that fabric...

All yours man. It’s a beauty but I’m doubling down on summer tailoring (something like the gun club he’s making you).

Appreciate the tip though 🙏

Did Andy kick your dog or something? Seems super harsh for someone who in my (IRL) experience doesn't deserve the dragging.

This one would've been nice if it got funded.

I don't suppose you mean to say that you didn't buy the cloth but it's available? I assume you mean not enough people wanted it so they never made a run.

I suppose I don’t get as excited by gunclubs as others. Especially gunclub tweeds. For me, tweeds are larger patterned & plaid.

I am not sure there's a super strict definition of gunclub, but I think a large pattern plaid in some sort of earth tones would probably be gunclub, if the large pattern isn't too large. I guess what does large mean? (Don't ask the people lying about what lengths.)

But in all seriousness, I also have a tweed that's ... some sort of nailhead, I think. Quite rough. I actually like it a fair bit. Cheap old-school fused YSL-branded but for the near-zero price I paid, well, I like wearing it every so often.

Of course most of my tweeds are the more standard kind. My other favorite, other than the one I linked above, is one of Bruce Boyer's old jackets I got from luxeswap:

So I feel like I already own some of the more standard tweeds, but I just really want a gunclub that I can wear, ideally, in San Jose weather for more than 3 months a year. And it's been stuck in my mind for a year now so I'll probably have one made.

Very interesting. Photos of full rig?


Nice! Seems appropriate for your weather? Much more so than a 480g tweed I assume smooth worsted? Do you like the combination of smooth worsted and a more rustic pattern like gunclub? I am still trying to decide what I like and what I can wear. I know, I know, next year's problems (since I have decided to do maximum one commission a year...) but I want to noodle on it for a while.

High twist so it feels more like a fresco or mockleno but tightly woven

With 4x1 i prefer a significantly lower buttoning stance...just under my navel

Commissioned this 4x1 last year but haven't had a chance to snap a pic for its debut on SF so here goes

these socks are fire

I think what @The Chai might mean is the waist coat here is more in line stylistically with a waistcoat intended for a suit….
check out these posts by @Andy57 to see examples

formal waistcoat




waistcoat for suit

Thanks. I chose the style for a practical reason: to wear it as an odd vest.
