Is it still going?
Surprised word got out. I thought they kept everything in house.
Apparently Frank is drunk. That is about all I can discern.
LMFAO!
It was aimed at me. Probably just high spirits - so to speak!
You chaps got so far as to be banned? Sadly my application was black balled.
i just logged in but no fights that i could find
favourite topic on that forum still seems to be centred around what types of cloth are good and which ones arent ... anything over 15oz seems to be great stuff! seems quite one dimensional .. personally i dont understand how you can wear 16oz worsted suits in a modern city enviroment these days, is it not hot? they seem to think tailors like heavier cloth but that hasnt been my experience, saville row tailors now suggest something 11-13oz in a worsted as a default ... those on the LL seem to think this is missing out on good drape and longevity.. i dont know as i always have gone for ~12/13 oz in a worsted cloth.

Hell if I know. NJS has some question about what experienced tailors would recommend to bespoke n00bs, and it just sort of spiraled from there. Drunken ramblings about how customers will never know what they are talking about and all tailors but him suck.
yes, most saville row tailors that i have spoken to re cloth weights whenever ive mentioned 14oz and above have said that its going to be too heavy, not to mention too hot to wear in an office .. & steer me politely away from these choices ....
when i have engaged about certain tweed cloths which these guys on LL have obsessions about one tailor in particular said to me 'not really something you need to come to saville row for' & told me id actually be better off just going to hackett than paying him to make a jacket in tweed, implication being that high end tailoring is wasted on a tweed jackets which are meant to be worn as a rustic outdoor garments (& not for going out and about in the centre of london), i guess if you are an old english duke a few decades back and before then you have all your clothes tailored anyway so wouldnt make any distinction .. i realise this view may be heresy to the clothes forum guys as they love the idea of heavy tweeds which are tailored!
