Summary - extremely well made! Some issue with the fabrics used. The tan outer is a softer fabric than the original but close to sam ecolor. The wool lining is the right weight and type, but too brown, Irfan says he can get the right color, and is mailing me a sample. Needs to buy a roll to get enought to make a sample suit, but can get a swatch to send me. The brown was available by the yard so he used that to show the construction.
Issue with sizing.. I sen tmeasurements taken over a BD jacket and trousers. Prototype is slightly snug in the torso (Neck to crotch) over light shirt and chinos.
Each picture in the photo album has the notes on what is good or needs changing.
I hope you all understand Irfan will review my photos and make changes to the 3rd prototype.
I am in about 1,000.00 USD for buying the zips and the custom waist buckles up front. He will be in about US 1500.00 to buy the right color wool lining. We are lookign to get about 40 orders before he has his shop change the assembly line to make tank suits.
I would like your feedback on the pics. Any concerns. Questions?
I expect you to send your order form with measurements directly to Irfan and pay him with Paypal. I am not - NOT - a sutler/vendor. I can't buy 40 suits up front and then resell them. Besides... THESE ARE MADE TO YOUR MEASUREMENTS!!! - so each of you will need to have someone take your measurements over whatever you think you might wear this suit over. Then round up larger!
You can not take good measurements of yourself.... ask any tailor!!!
