I do not require one but this is making me want to buy a new suit.

I very much like the look of a mohair one from that Adam of London chap but I wouldn't have the nerve to buy on on line, might get a tab collar shirt though.

Didn't realise there were so many posers on here.

Yeah me too ... but being of the older and wrinklier persuasion I'm wondering if this mutton can dress as that lamb.

Going to have a think about a Booksters tweed suit though.
Suit any age.

Thanks for all advice. one issue that puts me off a bit is that my waist measurement fluctuates by as much as 4 inches over a year. Can adjustments be made at all?

Absolutely, just tell the tailor which end of your fluctuation you are at (i.e whether you need plenty of spare at the seam or are at maximum size at the moment).
Plus you can get adjustable thingies at the side of the waist, for up to (I think) a two-inch fluctuation resulting from a full-on blow-out dinner etc.
My last Made to Measure has those.

Commonly known as DAKS tops (as in the were first used by DAKS Simpson), if they're good eneough for this chap, they should be good enough for anyone:



Try asking for belt loops on "The Row" and see what the reaction is
