The blue-gray Finmeresco again (Finmeresco is a high twist 11 ounce/330 gram cloth from Smith Woolens that is ideal for the mild San Francisco climate). Thomas Mahon is marking up the shoulders. He always cuts them a bit wide and adjusts them at the forward fitting because he does not leave extra cloth inside the shoulders and once it is gone it cannot be put back again. 
Thomas cuts in his office and uses outworkers scattered from Cumbria to London for the sewing. On the table is a double breasted dinner jacket in Lesser's midnight blue 12 ounce barathea that should be finished by the end of August. It will have black grosgrain trimmings. 
We slept in the next morning and by noon it was past time to head North into Scotland.

Will,
Is the Lesser's barathea for you? Any chance you know the cloth number?
Thanks.
It is for me and I do not know the number. I asked for it about the same way I described it to you.
Will, that hat is huge!
