Short answer
With the cloth books open in front of you, guided by the occasion, the climate and how often you will wear it. Your tailor narrows the choice to a shortlist; the final decision is always yours.
Which weights are available?+
The books span fresh warm-weather weaves (fresco, tropical wool, linen blends) through four-season high-twist wool to winter flannels, tweeds and cashmere blends.
Do you source from named mills?+
We source from reputable European mills and select by cloth, not by logo. Named-mill marketing claims are not part of how we sell; the hand and performance of the cloth are.
Can I see cloth before the visit?+
Returning clients can request cuttings by post between visits. Most first-time clients choose at the appointment, where drape and weight can be judged properly.
