Graham Lawless and Peter Harvey of Savile Row's Davies & Son have been in the City this week. Peter's Fallan & Harvey name has been incorporated into Davies for about a year now.
In the photo, Peter is marking up a problem with the collar on an odd jacket while yours truly appears to be describing a recent aeronautical experience.
Peter and Graham brought with them a completed brown tweed suit whose jacket might be worn by itself once in a while. The 15 ounce/450 grams cloth is meant for temperatures below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius). Thankfully, we have not gotten there yet.
We also had a covert coat ready for fitting, though it was at an early stage of development. I had envisioned a velvet collar that is the same color and a different texture than the cloth of the coat body but we have not found the right material so far.
My friend Jonathan took video of the visit and once we get that edited it will go up on the ASW Facebook page.

You carry the bow tie off really well -- great pictures!
Beautiful Glen Urquhart suit Will.
And I believe it is the perfect weight for the frigid SF weather...
Blue and red overcheck?
The bow tie is nicely done...
The Glen is dark brown and tan with a red overcheck.
Thank you RJ.
Isn't that the suit with the DB shawl vest?
How did it come out?
I will do a post on the suit when the weather accommodates.
That's a nice look!
No more bow ties for month, though?
