dinner jacket...

(click on image to enlarge)

One of my tailors just brought this over to show me; a job for another Savile Row client of his:

A beautiful, classic single-breasted dinner jacket with peaked lapel and corded silk facings.

It's a stunning piece of work, with all the handwork and craftsmanship you'd expect from the Row. Let's hope the new owner will appreciate it, as he will only be able to enjoy it for about six months.

Why? Because as he's only four years old, he will soon outgrow it.

But 'tis better to have loved and lost...

[P.S. For those in the trade: I bet the tailor still put "Long Roll" in his log.]
