Am I mistaken or does it look like a kind of knit fabric?
if by 'knit' you mean jersey -as in stretchy- i don't think so.
some sort of fancy weave wool though.

beautifully tailored suit HimmelsBlau. timeless, but something a bit 1920s about it too. i would have gone for turn-ups myself to make it even more 20s, but that's just me.
who was the tailor ?
Thank you! Or well, I guess it's the tailor we should give our thanks to!
Yes, I find it to resemble that as well. Although I had it made with double pleats on the pants, which is more 40s, but I guess it all blends together when you make a suit. Originally, my thought was also in making it with turn-ups, but I wanted to have a sharp knife trouser leg so I had the end of them made with a cavalry cut, i.e. angled a little bit.
I was measured here in Sweden by the store Tweed Country Sports, but it was made in Norwich, England at Wensum Tailoring at the hands of the manufacturer Bladen 1917.
That is an incredible suit! Did Bladen 1917 make it to your bespoke specifications entirely, or was it based on a made-to-measure model? Also, how padded are the shoulders?
Way to go! It looks fantastic!
Had you the chance to start doing something of it?
I unfortunately just can't find the time. :eusa_doh:
