OK ... my turn with a question.



I have a Harris Tweed jacket (*) in a rather fetching shade of turquoisey-blue.

I bought it in a sample sale in the early 1990's (which proably explains why I've never seen another).



It has the boxy shoulders that were the fashion back then and, because I like the cloth so much, I'd like it remodelled.



I don't want to take it to somewhere that just does trouser shortening and such, so does anyone have any recommendations for alteration tailors who could do this, in the West Riding of God's Own County?





(*) Genuine Harris Tweed ... and Saville Row would call it a coat ... but it's a jacket

Thank you very much mate, appreciate that.



It'll be for my impending wedding in May 2013 so no mad rush just yet. I will be having a smart, timeless black suit though, along with my groomsmen.



Lovely stuff.

Dave if you are in Chiswick there is a bespoke tailor just before Stamford brooke bus garage, Cannot think of the name top of my head but very good. Got the wedding suit done there and works ones too.

Sorry mate but I can lay claim to a master seamstress who was Savile Row trained. She works in our local Post Office and although she's no longer "in the trade", she does the odd guvvy job for a bottle or two of wine.

People always seem to speak highly of Kristoffers on Kirkstall Rd (opposite Iceland etc) whenever this question arises on southstander.com, and then there's that bespoke tailors opposite St Chads church ?

If you are around the M62 corridor, The Suit Length Centre in Bradford carries a fantastic range of cloths complete with staff that would give The Fast Show a run for their money.



They can also put you in touch with a decent tailor.

I do not require one but this is making me want to buy a new suit.



I very much like the look of a mohair one from that Adam of London chap but I wouldn't have the nerve to buy on on line, might get a tab collar shirt though.

Didn't realise there were so many posers on here.

Button it you scruffy oik.

Yeah me too ... but being of the older and wrinklier persuasion I'm wondering if this mutton can dress as that lamb.



Going to have a think about a Booksters tweed suit though.

Suit any age.

Poseur? Moi?

Thanks for all advice. one issue that puts me off a bit is that my waist measurement fluctuates by as much as 4 inches over a year. Can adjustments be made at all?
