To be frank, I think it's dangerous to mess around with the house style. Even the best tailors have a signature and chances are anything you want is going to look like they made it and not how you pictured it.

Second, most of this stuff is in your head so get the house style.

I know you only wear upholstery weights but if you had done that Apparel Arts plate in say a super 120s 10oz, or even an 11-14oz herringbone tweed, mightve been better.

Also, when tailors reach an advanced level of skill they do not follow pattern making techniques from books, they have already developed their own methods. So bringing patterns drafted using tailoring book instructions might clash pretty badly with their tried and true cutting methods.

So what? He sees I'm having fun, and that I'm doing it to create cuts that would take him countless hours to do. He enjoys seeing my ideas and talks to me as like a colleague. We enjoys our chats too. Why you are so against it?

Also this "house style" business is total iGent nonsense. I find it being repeated ad nauseam on every forum. It is used as to create a false image of prestige by certain houses but really it is just laziness and about preferring to take a cookie cutter approach to things. This is what my tailor says and I agree with him totally.

Thesaurus Boy tries way too hard. Who knew competing for attention required so much effort?
