Following popular request – that is, one request – here are some more pics from Smalto, the Parisian bespoke tailor.
See the full post on Smalto here.
Marking the cloth – the second in Smalto’s three-step cutting process
Basting the lapel together
A four-button jacket that will fasten all the way up
Quite an array of thread. It’s not just navy and grey suits here.
A bundle ready to go off to the tailor
The Smalto measuring sheet that bundle was wrapped in
A Safari jacket in rather lurid orange
Shirt cuff and bellows pocket on the Safari jacket
Pleated back
All the trimmings

It would be fantastic for all your readers I’m sure if you did a post on a list of the various tailors you have used and a sentence or two on the distinct house style, and what that specific tailor excels at or specialises in. Many of us save up or plan to go very soon and it would be great if there was a comprenhensive list on the general work, as to narrow down the search for a tailor.
Thanks

Good idea, I’ll try to do something next week.
