How much fabric for a suit?
Just wanted to double check. I'm going to get some hopsack fabric.
How much for a 42R (I'm just over 5' 11").
2 piece suit?
3 piece suit?
trouser only?
jacket only?
vest only?
How does the number of yards change if the fabric is a plaid, or other pattern?
With thanks, dudes.

If you prefer high waisted odd trousers you will need two meters of cloth. A vest, on the other hand, may be as little a .5 meters.

There's a theory that Chensvold & Goodfella (probably mainly Goodfella, but he 'works' for C.) are doing all this. LBF has called them on it as his blog is getting a lot of spam too...
