Weight loss reward #1: Ordering my first made-to-measure suit...
While the weight loss has slowed quite a bit and I'm fluctuating up and down about five pounds or so in any given week, I did recently pass my first weight-loss reward goal: weighing at least 70 pounds less than my all-time high. As a result, I've ordered my first made-to-measure suit. Hopefully, I'll be able to model it for you guys within a month or so. I'm fairly certain that the attached image is an image of the fabric I've selected. Regardless, I can't tell a difference with my eye between that image and the sample I selected from the sample book, so... It's a 100% Merino Wool, Super 120s, 270g fabric. I've elected to go with a three-piece, two-button suit with an extra pair of trousers. The customization choices I can remember off the top of my head are: - Notch lapels - Slanted, flap pockets - Side vents - Dark navy resin buttons - Working buttons - Hand-stitched, tonal buttonholes - 2mm, tonal, pic stitching - Half canvas - Fully lined - Burgundy, Bemberg lining - Interior, left-pocket monogram - Standard vest w/ full fabric back - Side-adjusted, flat-front trousers w/ suspender buttons - Angled side pockets on trousers - Jetted back pockets on trousers - No cuff on trousers
