Hello everyone.
Have a few projects on the table.
A 3pc suit in a donegal tweed from Minnis.
Wanted a donegal not too loosely woolen, I think this one is okay.
It will be ready for the final fitting to my understanding.

3 pants from the dugdale fearnought bunch which are now done, should be able to pick them up.

A Sb jacket using a cloth from the worsted alsport II bunch and a classic polo coat from the piacenza dunes bunch.
Really like this one, it's marvelous under natural light.

I'll be there next week for a fitting.

I’d be interested for any thoughts you have on the jacket in the Piacenza Dunes fabric, assuming it’s the 550 gram weight? I’m likely ordering a coat in that soon (different style and color from your plan), so just curious what you think of it made up as you go through fittings. It looks and feels great in the book, as you already know!

What are the #s for the Fearnought pants? I’m overthinking whether to go darker or lighter for a suit from that bunch.

@CLH03 -> FEA001 FEA002 FEA016, colours are hard to tell from the website.

Yes its 550gr/m. I first wanted to go heavier, especially with the camel cloth from the standeven snowdonia bunch but it's darker than i thought. This one, we fell in love with it, decent weight compared to other italian fabrics , beautiful hand and really nice under natural light. I think it will be delicate.
Will post pics after the fitting.

Very good choice of cloth and tailor. Would you mind sharing the swatch code of the donegal?

I will give my youngest child this: He chose well for his first jacket.

That's a thing of beauty. I don't suppose the cat hair will ruin it too quickly?
I have four short-haired cats in house, so cat fur has always been a big issue. The clothes I wear daily need to be brushed clean, placed in a bag, and then stored in the closet. Otherwise, they will quickly be covered in cat fur and scratch. Some of the troubles that come with the happiness they bring.
