Spencer Tuxedo from Tailcoat

[triolamj]

You've mentioned Sin to me before and I know Sandy is up to her eyeballs in work. I had a project for Sandy but I think my sister Maggie might be willing to take it on for my birthday. I'll have to have you introduce me to Sin. I need to know the cost so I can figure out just how much I want done. Removing the tails for certain and placing and replacing buttons on the jacket and the vest. If I can get away with it I may go for a pair of tiny reinforced buttonholes near the shoulder seam where I can pin a plaid brooch through instead of needing epaulets. I'm also thinking of using the material of the tails for guantlet cuffs like the ones on my Argyll. My budget is about $225 which includes the jacket, the vest, and the tailoring. I think your reasoning on the wool is right and unlike the polyester if it ever gets damaged, I can probably get it reweaved. Thanks.
