That was twenty years ago.

But if you want a suit that really fits properly it's the only way to go.

I was always lucky in my younger days that I was an exact 40/34 fit so didn't need to worry too much. The only thing missing was that bespoke tucked in look around the waist on the jacket following the curve of the body.

I've seen a few people with badly made tailored suits where the material did not sit flat. I wouldn't have accepted that off the tailor but I guess some people have no idea what a nice suit should look like.

I used to get clothes made back in the late 80s, tailor was Italian too. I should get some made now, cos I waste alot of money buying off the peg only to discard it months later. I'm 6ft2 but only 75 kilo, with medium/wide shoulders, but obviously not a lot of muscle, in other words, flat. It sucks buying clothes!

Hi Martin
Fantastic pictures, for my sins have worked at the Council for years and years so know it all well.

went for a walk down the river path, took a snapshot on the way. Came out quite well. Hard to believe this is only a few hundred yards from my house:

You need to cut your grass Martin.

I have trouble getting an off the peg suit as I am 44/34 with slightly shorter than normal legs.
It is a blinking nightmare.

Is that the River Trent? I thought it would be bigger, even Marco would feel safe paddling in that

Thanks, but I have found a reasonably priced tailor in Toulouse. I get the suit with the jacket that fits, and they take the trousers in. Not sure how much longer I will need that service though...
