I love this process! Today I got to try on the first layer of materials that will eventually become my suit. We made the pant legs a little longer, a little slimmer. We’re gonna put a seam on the lapel, tuxedo-style, but without the satin. Very subtle. I’ve chosen the lining (a beautiful garnet), and got measurements taken for a shirt as well.

The first fitting went really well. I like how it is fitting together. I like how my preferences for fit are all being taken seriously, and that Scott’s expertise and style is also playing a role in making the vision for a modern take on an old-fashioned suit come to life. No vents, a single working button on the sleeve, peaked lapel, two big buttons, a boutonnière strap, no chest pocket, highly tapered. It’s gonna be beautiful!
