I got some of their Donegal swatches recently . One or two took my fancy but generally a bit unexciting.
True Tonik,and the best mohair cloth are not "shiny.

FNB, I just updated the blog with the finished quilted coat. Sort of looks like something out of "Blade".

Im stocking Lesser again now in 13 and 16oz. I think with them almost disappearing it made them seem more appealing to me. Also I am rather into this tinker tailor soldier spy look that seems very of the moment. Also quite fond of the Equalizers look right now which is very expat English, must be because I just got my green card.
Hi David,
Are you still carrying Dormeuil (original) tonik mohair?
I will be in NYC come November and am considering stopping by for a fitting, after seeing the lovely work on your blog.
I'm thinking about a sb midnight blue tonik 3-button; Italian-Continental cool. I'd also like to have a pair of grey flannel strides cut; do you have any Guabello flannel wool lengths by chance?
Would you be able to give me an idea of pricing (for suit and/or trouser length) and how soon would I need to contact for an appointment?
Thanks so much!
Oliver

HAHAHAHA!!
You just know it, all of life's kinky fetishes and the streams of whisky as envisioned by Shane MacGowan can all be delivered with just one night in Tokyo!

I'm pretty sure the one far left was a man.
