Tailor Time!

Yesterday the Tailor came, and we had a good couple of hours spent with Erin and the Tailor designing the suit, and taking Erin's measurements. Indeed, as advertised, thousands of suit swatches came out as Erin got to choose exactly what he was getting with his brand new suit.

In the end, the suit decision was as follows:

• Solid charcoal twill
• Single-breasted
• Three button suit
• Shawl lapels (no satin)
• Single pockets
• Maroon lining and silver piping
• Inside the jacket will be embroidered in silver: "Specially Tailored for Erin Kyan"
• Flat front pants.

Along with that, we also designed Erin's shirt, which ended up:

• White shirt
• French collar
• Pleated back
• Square cufflink cuffs.

From this point, it will probably take another four weeks for the initial construction, after which there'll be a second fitting, to get everything just right, and possible third and fourth fittings. We're expecting to have the suit in our hands in around 6 weeks or so, give or take.

In the meantime, we're likely to go shopping. Erin has already gone shopping on his own for some nice cufflinks (pictured to the right), and I plan on taking him shopping soon for a nice tie and a good pair of shoes. Fortunately, time is on our side - we have at least a month before the outfit is likely to be complete. This is the unfortunate side effect of getting clothes made to order, but I think you'll agree that the results will most certainly be worth it!

I'll be honest with you, I'm half wanting the give the whole tailored suit thing a try myself. Imagine, two hot, sexy boys in tailored suits. Yum!
