care to share for the purpose of transparency and new avenues of communication?

No.

A fun idea... but one that requires tailors to constantly fill in the data -- and even photos!

I doubt most (all?) of them have time and willingness to do so -- especially given the hectic tempo of work in most (all?) of tailors' workshops.

My thought exactly. I predict a few months of active updating, trailing off to silence and threats of lawsuits.

It's possible that a customer suggested these features.
I think Edwin was on the first US trip during which A&S first tried to bring fittings to American clients. So, few have his traveling track record.
I got a note today from one of SF's most knowledgable members that he might have had his best first fittings ever on this visit. I was very happy to hear this.
Anyway, there aren't many tailors this good left. Seek them out and use them while you can, wherever they are.

If i remember correctly he told me that his first trip over here was with Edward Sexton, in his pre A&S days

What you and vox wrote could both be true.

Yup, i was just emphasizing what vox was saying about his traveling record.

Perhaps. But, perhaps not.

We'll see.

So, on this Steed trip, I've ordered my first bespoke coat: a covert coat in Minnis 2006.

I'm happy.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

I got a bespoke coat before Vox.

When you're happy, we are happy.

 

[Knowledge is King]

Vox, I presume the latest post from your blog is Steed?

 

[forex]

Looks like NSM,which by the way looks great.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

The lapels suggest that, but I don't see the front dart to the hem. Also the lapel buttonhole is very English looking and the overall length suggests Steed.

 

[poorsod]

Not NSM. Different shoulders and beast pocket.

^Good call. Could be MBT
