Re: When bespoke wishes and fabric dreams go wrong
I remember seeing pics of this gray double breasted that had to be one of the ugliest suits I have seen on the forums. The back was particularly atrocious. More recent pics show how the "house style" with full sleeves just doesn't do any favors to some physiques.

At some point I should take some shots of my midnight blue chalkie with scarlet paisley lining; though not in this thread

These are by Mahon?
I originally spotted these and thought I can never get enough of that tragic LL triple reverse lindy windowpane but then I noticed the ugly boutonniere on the other one and the generally klunky construction.

I'll bet he couldn't walk a straight line in this. It looks like the jacket is struggling to get off him.

Re: When bespoke wishes and fabric dreams go wrong
That POW fabric looks nice.
I don't understand the fascination with ticket pockets. They're pretty much useless for most people, especially in the US. Even in Paris or London, why would you need a separate pocket for your ticket? And an outside pocket on the jacket is actually not that convenient a pocket to reach if you are wearing a coat (which you would most of the year in London). I just don't get them.
I think it adds un-needed clutter to a jacket.

Re: When bespoke wishes and fabric dreams go wrong
I like ticket pockets precisely because they mess up the lines. The element of asymetry appeal to me.

FNB - my comment was meant to say that I like the fabric, the cloth.

Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.
