Grey Fox's new suit

Monday, 30 September 2013

I've been reporting on the progress of my three piece tweed suit from Susannah Hall tailors. Today I went for the final fitting - here's the result. A few tiny tweaks yet to be done, but I will be wearing it at Best of Britannia at the end of this week. I will be there on Friday all day and Saturday morning and I hope to meet many friends while there (I will be at Susannah Hall's stand for some of the time).

The quality of the cut and tweed (from Hunter's Tweed) is obvious. It feels very comfortable to wear, I felt immediately at home in it. The checks meet precisely and the details, such as beautiful horn buttons, add to the overall look of the suit. Contact Susannah Hall with tailoring queries.

See Hunter's Tweed for information on their range of estate and other tweeds. Here's Best of Britannia.

I'm grateful to Susannah for doing a bulk deal for me and my three identical twin brothers; we're pictured admiring our suits below.

    As a Frenchman, this is what I always thought was the magnificence of British fashion sense! Superb suit indeed...

    Grey Fox, that's wonderful. The trousers the right length and looks good from the back as well. A good looking suit, you must be pleased with that.

    Regards

    That is an absolutely stunning suit. So glad you decided to go for one - now to get to as many shoots, race meets and so forth as you possible can!

    David, that is a truly splendid looking suit and you look really great in it. I've never really thought about a suit like this before, but seeing how well this works for you makes me wonder if there shouldn't be one in my future.

    And the tweed looks superb!

    Suits you, Sir!

    Erste Sahne.
    Looks on you like you had it forever.
    I would wear a modified suit like this in a minute.
    Sigh.

    Can you give an approximate idea of overall cost - tweed and tailoring? It is lovely. I'm looking to have a POW check suit made.

    Barry - I can't be exact as I had tweed already - but I think Susannah Hall said it would be around £1k all in from her - not bad I think.

    Suit price will depend on detail and cloth used.

    Thank you all for your comments - it feels so comfortable to wear - the problem is it's hard to go back to off the peg - be warned.
