Do you think the same principal applies though? Putting the tie on the collar, before you put it over your head? Or is there some other reason for the straps? They're very interesting little details.
You look great! Nice waistcoat. Is that the place where the fair is held underground in an old dance hall? With pillars lining the place?
Looks like you've got some interesting stuff!
Rabbit - Unfortunately, I don't have any real vintage trousers to copy, so I may indeed take you up on your kind offer to help me out there. I've got various pairs of nice trousers, and some old, but really I'd like some Oxford Bag style trousers, which thus far, I haven't been able to achieve...
I don't think it would be possible my friend. He's just an independent retailer. If money isn't an issue for you, though, you should be able to find a local tailor who can sort you out!
Yes, I think you're right - using a tailor will be the better and more ethical option. I am eager to try out Luxire for their trousers though, so I think maybe splitting the commission could be a good option. I need to find a decent amount of cloth to split then! However, we shall see what...
Freddie, I don't think there could be a more ideal looking suit. Bravo! It has all the features I absolutely love. Those lapels could poke your eye out!

I assume you mean myself and not TT? I have mine made via a friend of mine in Nottingham, UK, who's an outfitter. He sends off the orders to a separate company. I, like yourself, am looking to get a DB suit done. I've got a jacket I want copied for it.
Rabbit - Thanks for all the info, it's very good of you. Reading your and TT's successful stories, but then Metatron's not-so-successful experience really has me at an impasse. I wonder if I order anything from them it should just be the trousers, and perhaps I go elsewhere for the jacket. I...
Rabbit, I know what you mean by the look of their jackets - they don't seem to be using either the right cloth (quilted cotton?!) to show off their work. I suppose the danger is in the shoulders if it comes back 'tubular' like many modern suits are. What i mean is, the shoulders have no natural...
It's was a wool flannel they quoted - about £450 to be more exact I think. Thats what made me very interested. I've sent Qirrel a message via Etsy :)

Thanks for the advice Rudie. Maybe you're right :/ Luxire quoted about £400 for a suit, which is cheaper than I've been able to get anywhere else. I guess I could be throwing that cash away, though, if they aren't very satisfactory.
The ones I've had made before I've done via a friend of mine...
