Tenorclef, what weight are these tweeds? Thanks a bunch.
Oh the Egg Yolk, no question in my mind. The Sunshine is a summer color, suitable for Hawai'i or the Caribbean. The Golden is better but the Egg Yolk is best.
The best source I know for all kinds of buttons is quite near to you - "Duttons for Buttons" right in the centre of York. I'd be surprised if they didn't have what you required.The leather buttons arrived today. I was quite surprised to find none of my local haberdashery shops stocked leather buttons so these were ordered online.
I particularly like the second sample (more so having seen how good it looked on Mario's '50s suit)
Now that just made me smile, Alan. I thought I caught you glancing at my tweed jacket a couple of times when we were doing...eh...our little tour of the area that night. BTW: machine's up 'n runnin'...
Trousers and sleeves are both a touch too long, otherwise kudos to you and your tailor.
