savile row's wyatt earp....
(Richard's body pattern. Notice the extra length and sidebody cut.)
This is an interesting one. This is for Richard, a local chap in Cumbria who went to school with me. He’s a bit of a character, and as I expected his first bespoke wasn’t to be in the usual classic style.
Instead he’s going to have boot flared trousers with 2-inch loops, for a huge belt and buckle, plus a single breasted long jacket with a sidebody for flair, with flared cuffs on the sleeves.
The best way of describing this is "Savile Row's answer to Wyatt Earp."
It's going to be cut from a nice Smith Woolens Super 100’s and a slate blue/grey lining.
(That's a sample of the slate blue/grey lining on the bottom, with the stairway of Warwick Hall- where I have my Cumbrian office- in the background)
Bearing in mind Richard’s about 6ft, 3 inches, He’s going to look every bit as imposing as any gunslinger.
As the work progresses, I’m going to show you various stages- the cutting, the making with my (sewing) tailor, and then the fittings- until it's completed.
Watch this space...
