I would say on a broader level the issue is can one achieve the same level of quality having production done by others on a commission basis. Most understand the dynamics of how commission work operates ( paying by the piece or per meter ) Given that one company does the majority of the finishing fo...

I just pm'd Terry to let him know that woodhouse was sold within the last month. The buyers are a group that include the man that I think might be the most important person with regards to the long term success of the weaving industry in Yorkshire, Chris Antich. The sale continues the trend of mills...

Sloaney, there is somthing about this shirt that is a pet peeve of mine. It is the double buttons on the cuff ( two horizontal not vertcal ) . This in my oppinion is a failure of the maker to appropriatlty measure your wrist. It is a feature one should expect in RTW but not accept when paying for cu...

Tip Top puts out two gabardine books, one of which is Lessona. It's a nice book but I prefer the scottish supplier Reid & Taylor. As you might expect the Lessona line is colred a bit better but lacks the hand of the scottish goods.

A great selection of buttons as well.

I have always gone to his house in Staten Island and been very warmly received. His pants are a very good value. As with a lot of pantmakers it is better to bring a pair that you like very much for them to take measurements ( ie copy ). I met him years ago when he was the in house pantmaker at Becke...

Do not confuse the ranges that LP use in the sale of their own MTM program with the range that they market to the trade as part of their textile division. I highly doubt in the MTM range that much of the same quality exists as the MTM prices would be very high. In all probability the range you looke...

The range is produced by SIC Tess. A top line producer.

the business model for distribution differs when one considers shirtings vs woolens. Most shirting wholesalers hold inventory and cut upon receipt of an order. Most of the woolen merchants domiciled in the US do not hold inventory save for the occasional canceled order or credit hold situation. Thes...

interestingly the prices rarely change downward for existing clients to reflect the reduced overhead. I have several things in process with a gentleman from Toronto who works out of his house. I had some initial reservations about the comfort of visiting but once I was there ( and found the place ) ...

the other phenomenas that exist are the tailors who choose to work out of their houses. I am using one now who has his basement set up as a workroom. The other, prevalant one on the east coast is the tailor who retires to Florida. I know of one pondering such a move now.
