Window Pane

Doesn't Barmey count as a tailor now?

I'd say so. And your status as an author would get you in too as they love to be written about.

There's some nice suiting going on in that George Formby still! ...is it from 'Come on George'?

'No Limits'

Can anyone turn up some photos of vintage suits in the window pane pattern?
I'm considering these two fabrics.

back on topic, here's a 1936 British suit with a similar glencheck to the one on the right you posted:

I've always wanted a DB three-piece, cut in the style of the mid-thirties "blade" suits in exactly this cloth. (a la the one Hugh Laurie's Bertie Wooster wears so often in Jeeves and Wooster).

I think that's something somebody put out so the place doesn't get stampeded by iGents. I've got in without a tailor and know several others who have as well.

It isn't very difficult. I simply called to ask if I could come in have a look around, and that didn't seem to be any trouble for them.

HBK, have you visited W. Bill to peruse their vintage stock?

is there actually some 30s-40s cloth in there, or by 'vintage' are we talking 60s - 70s ?

Haven't seen this site posted so I thought I would share it here, they have some nice windowpane at reasonable prices too!
