Dress Monkey... seeing if they have potential

Custom blazers, I'm seeing if they will do a sack jacket.

Re: Dress Monkey... seeing if they have potential
Very interesting - And you are very welcome to the forum, EVT.
Finding an affordable tailor who can cut a sack well is the Holy Grail for some of us & you often find the best people in all sorts of unlikely places.
What ideas for a Blazer did you have in mind?
Best,
Jim.

Ah yes, Quink in washable royal blue, the ideal ink for under 18's.
Talking about Blazers, just taken delivery from Shamrockmonkey, a Brooks Makers cut blazer in the exact specifications as described by Russell Street. Always a winner.

Mine's from '85 & just won't die. Not a boast, but a comment in praise of the quality of all this stuff.

I think we can say that it was the original cut too - Much copied elsewhere where it morphed & mutated in all sorts of directions giving us all the wonderful diversity that we have in the Ivy Look.

My mother-in-law is not impressed with the cut though, something in Russkie about there being only two buttons on the arm and no shoulders, just like the sloppy tailoring back in the USSR.
Now, when was it she's scheduled to go back to Tractor Factory No.28?
Seriously, I get to watch a lot of Russkie television in my household, and with the horrendous colour film stock they used, its often impossible to tell if something was filmed in 1978 or 1958, but there is evidence of button down shirts in these films. Not often, but they are there.
