Re: Ginza Tailor: A Three-Hour Tour
I registered just to say....
Everything sounds amazing. Truthfully, I would think that I would prefer visiting a Japanese tailor than a Savile row one. 
But I have yet to visit any.
Twin Six you definitely have to post pictures of the finished product!

Re: Ginza Tailor: A Three-Hour Tour
I'll definitely post photos of the finished products. The only reason I haven't posted any yet is my lack of decent photographic equipment.
I'll remedy that by the time the suit is completed in mid-April.

Re: Ginza Tailor: A Three-Hour Tour
Just got the call that my suit and shirt are finished. As it's Saturday morning, I'll be picking them up within the next couple of hours. Full report to follow.

Re: Ginza Tailor: A Three-Hour Tour
The trimmings on your jacket are off-the-hook.
What fabric is Harata-San's jacket? I like the pattern and color.
I'm thinking of getting something made up like that in a wool/silk/linen/mohair type of blend. I found some nice stuff from W. Bill that might fit the bill.

Re: Ginza Tailor: A Three-Hour Tour
Twin Six, thanks as always for the wonderful report.
The suit fabric and trimmings look great. The silk used for the pocket linings - wow! It really puts to shame all the "crazy" linings that seem to be the trend now on RTW suits. Kudos to you for picking something that is both subtle and unique. I would love to see a close-up of the kanji monogram when you take delivery.
The shirt looks great as well - that chest pocket deserves a very special Namiki, methinks.

Very very nice!! Love the buttons, unique with subtlety
This suit would look great with those brown Magli's you once posted that many of us drooled over.

Re: Ginza Tailor: A Three-Hour Tour
It's interesting that the put the shirt placket button vertically. No that it's a huge difference because I am just as happy without one at all but I always thought horizontally was better over the long haul for retaining shape and securing the button itself.

Re: Ginza Tailor: A Three-Hour Tour
In addition, I'd be curious how the Acorn heavy Oxford cloth compares to the old D&J Anderson heavy oxford cloth. As far as I know, the new reincarnation of D&J Anderson stuff isn't too heavy. I believe I have the heaviest stuff they make on a swatch card, and thought it's very nice, it's also more "luxe" than I wanted.
