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
