Bespoke (part one)

....and so it begins. The formal training of bespoke tailoring. As they say, TTENDEN will be spoken for...most of the summer. Last week the early sketches began. Fabric was selected, thanks to the Fabric Gallery in Williamston, MI, and thanks to the Italians for making such beautiful wool.


How they figured out this kind of math is beyond me! But when you can relate your armscye, to 1/4 of your waist, and then to your height, and then put a French curve on it, and come up with a well-fitted suit, there seems to be some DaVinci involved.

  
But anyway........ keep your eyes open
