Well, you asked for more pictures… First, the speakers.
Hi Brian, Yes, Steven would certainly want to use canvas, though he would suggest lining only in the front of the coat. This is what I would suggest in a bespoke jacket too. There are plenty of wool materials for warmer climates, such as hopsack,…

Hi Simon,

Hi Simon. Great article as usual. Two questions.
1. How can you afford bespoke?
2. How can I dress well with (MTM or bespoke) on a budget?
1. Partly, I’m fairly well into my career and earn decent money now – I couldn’t have afforded anywhere near as much 10 years ago. And partly, prioritisation. I know people (particularly women) who buy even more clothing than me, but all cheap, and it doesn’t last. I also don’t really have expensive tastes in anything else.
2. Save up and buy quality, buy conservative styles that will last, and have a read of posts like ‘make a cheap suit look good‘
