Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

[EliodA]

That's what she.... never mind.

I think it's the first time I actually dislike such a voluminous lapel roll. It almost seems like too much here.

Not to mention the shoulders, which look horrible.

 

[Murlsquirl]

Not sure who made it, but that isn't @lordsuperb in the picture. Wonky shoulders, but everything else looks great.

 

[Griffindork]

Sure looks like steed. I don't think there's anything wrong with the shoulders though. It's just the way the wearer is standing. Right shoulder looks lower than the left because the right arm is hanging lower.

 

[venividivicibj]

If the cloth is as heavy as it looks, the shoulders probably just haven't settled yet.

 

[PCK1]

100% sure that the shoulders are due to the stance of the person.

The cloth is not as heavy as it appears there. Not sure of the exact weight but I dont think its more than 16oz.

 

[Coxsackie]

I assume that's the LL "Agnelli" tweed. I have 4m of it waiting to be made up by someone (probably BnT, when I can afford to throw some more funds their way).

It's 14oz.

3 piece?

The shoulders will always look like that no matter how much it's worn.

 

[Coxsackie]

Oh sorry - 3.5 metres. No, probably not enough for a 3pc, but I could have patch pockets I guess.

 

[Coxsackie]

I think I'd like to get it made up something like this (I have a feeling this photo is of a well-known SFer or LLer, but I'm not sure who it is) -



IRL the cloth is more grey, not so eggplanty.

I'm claiming my 3% Irish heritage on this one!

Nice, will this be a casual or business suit? How often do you think you would wear it?

 

[PCK1]

I believe that photo is @gazman70k

I have 4 meters as well sitting on a shelf waiting to get made up.

It is a very unusual tweed. You can't even tell its tweed until you get up close. I think it could just as easily meet the criteria for a more formal or more casual suit.

Edit: wrong thread

And that is probably LL's finest offering.

 

[Concordia]

Someone on LL is even doing a DB suit.

I've got enough for a 3-pc, which I might well do. It could work with or without the vest, and as an odd jacket should the trousers give out or seem too staid for the occasion.

Unfortunately, I had a thornproof jacket made last year in more or less that pattern, so I may have to let other priorities come to the head of the queue.

A more successful specimen than the one on the previous page. It's not the shoulders, but rather the lapels' shape and angle. As well as not having the ticket pocket, for a cleaner look.
