nice smiths woolens cloth
Published: Friday, February 1st 2008
I HAVE PUBLISHED MY DATES FOR MY NEXT US VISIT, PLEASE SEE THE ENTRY BELOW THIS ONE, OR LOOK IN 'AMERICA' FOLDER ON THE RIGHT TOOL BAR.
I have recently finished a jacket for a client which was made for him in the exclusive London Lounge Gun Club check fabric.
When he called to collect the above jacket, I conducted the fitting on a further suit we also have in the pipeline for him, a Smiths Woolens cloth.
I haven't got the cloth number to hand at the moment, but the cloth bunch is really worth a look when you next visit your tailor I shall post the bunch number when I get it.
The picture below shows the cloth which is a lovely traditional style fabric. A base grey colour with a blue/white stripe combined with a nice herringbone pattern to the weave of the cloth.
The colours of the fabric are really beautiful when seen in natural light, these pictures do not do the cloth justice!!
The jacket is getting prepared for a forward fitting, the chalk marks on the jacket are the various inlays which are left inside the jacket for later possible use.
The next picture shows a shot taken up from the bottom of the left forepart/jacket front. You can see the herringbone pattern ( the dark and light shade difference ) of the weave clearer in this picture.
The jacket will be a button three front when finished.
