Being able to build rapport with a particular tailor gets more enjoyable.<br /><br />I haven&#39;t been able to treat myself to such an intensive sartorial consumption, the most being three garments. However, being a maker there has been occasions when I would have made at least 5 full samples for one finished garment. The highest number of samples per garment finished so far is 9 for a particular semi-tailored jacket, six of which related to how the collar stand behaves in relation to the massive collar and the rest of the garment (the remaining three were for &#39;obvious&#39; changes such as jacket length, collar size, pocket additions and DB width). It can get a bit insane sometimes, and ignoring them renders me sleepless.mukugehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15357411538290433150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593388140454867428.post-19193402665388573922010-03-15T13:09:40.066-07:002010-03-15T13:09:40.066-07:00Will,<br /><br />do you have the fabric number for that grey?

But in addition to the forward I would advice anyone to go for the skeleton baste too. The skeleton seems to me extremenly important even if you are an older custumer.<br /><br />I know there are many reputable tailors that do not do the inlays but I think even the best tailor can make mistakes. So if I were you I would insit to go through the skeleton baste as well as the forward. And if the tailor gives you the chance go also for a third fitting. The more fittings you go through the better chance you have to own a perfect suit.<br /><br />EAEl Aristócratahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17061506845445991132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593388140454867428.post-6897510935904641922010-03-14T10:10:16.596-07:002010-03-14T10:10:16.596-07:00Will,<br /><br />Is the only way to detect in a fitting whether the sleeve needs rotating just the ripples behind the shoulder?Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16620736972624862020noreply@blogger.com
