back to the board...
(my clients coat back for fine tuning)
I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words and understanding regarding the passing of my Mother. Especially our friends in the US who I had to cancel appointments with at such short notice.
The loss of a dear one is always sad but of course this is part of life and life continues for all it's ups and downs.
I'm taking the opportunity to re-cut and get into production the fittings from my Chicago and San Francisco visits. One benefit is that my suitcases will be a little lighter for the other half of my trip. Tentatively, I hope to return to Atlanta and NYC in the early part of November. I should confirm this as soon as I know this will be convenient for my existing clients.
As usual Fran and I had a super time on our short visit. I was pleased with how our clothes are turning out and people seem very happy. I'm lucky that I have some amazing tailors helping me. I don't usually do this because it's a little staged but I think the coat above that I cut and Paul made is one of the most balanced examples of of peaked lapel I've ever seen. I really liked it and so did my client. I think he was a little upset that I took it from him. Dont worry Sir you'll have it back soon:)
Believe me this is more down to the skill of Griff's (That's what we call Paul) hands than mine.
