Completely recommending Anthony Sinclair with David Mason. Simply the best that anything can be bought. If you have extra cash for anything fancier, go for the handmade block, and do not forget to ask for chest drape. With your profession, I will assume (And hope that it is true) that you will have to conceal carry. Anything like Tom Ford will simply not do.
I would be interested to see anybody here who had commissioned bespoke with David, though. New bespoke samples from Anthony Sinclair is such a rarity.
My Anthony Sinclair Special Order Handmade suit, in Harrison P&B Universal 16oz fabric. The picture was taken in August.
That's great you went for the handmade suit! But I'd love to see a photo of it and not a room full of splattered paint!
That was taken in Yayoi Kusama Art Exhibition, a one in a lifetime kind of thing. It's not splattered paint.
Anyway, for robo pose and whatnot, here -
This is the fit of the suit above, in the two piece format. In a two piece format, the waist shaping shows better. I won't use the term suppression, since the waist of the jacket was supposed to have shape, not cornering your waist to death.
This is my "Day 1" suit, using one of the last lengths of H Lesser's 16oz 29632.
Another shot of P&B Universal, when I was helping out with d'Elaine Johnson, a local Edmonds, Washington artist.
Well, hopefully that helps and satisfy. The fit and finish is a myriad better than most, and honestly, the value is about ten to twenty times better than Tom Ford, if you go for the handmade block. On TF, you have only one single handmade buttonhole, and you are charged about 4 to 5 grand for it, whereas with Anthony Sinclair, although a made to measure suit, you get all buttonholes, edges, and armholes handmade.
As someone who frequents modern art museums and installations, my comment was only meant as a joke. My apologies. I could not make out a single detail of the suit in the photo.
Thank you for the new photos. Now that I can see the suit, it looks fantastic! The fit is perfect. 16 oz cloth makes it look even better, but I don't know how you can wear that indoors in the winter time! The handmade version sounds like it's a fantastic value, particularly compared to Tom Ford, which although top quality should be bespoke at that price. More than the handmade details you mention, the additional special attention to fit is what makes the Anthony Sinclair handmade suits truly special.

Thank you for the kind words, Matt. The older I grow, the colder I tend to be, especially when the weather is so rainy up here in the Pacific Northwest. Frankly, the snow and the normal dry cold does not bother me, but the rain is pure punishment. That is why I can wear up to a 16oz, and coming next year, I'll be wearing 19oz Escorial wool for winter! The heavier, the better. We only get so much as 2.5 to 3 months worth of heat up here.
I take it that sometimes words cannot describe emotions, so, my bad that I failed to interpret that as a joke. I worked for the Art department of Edmonds Community College, so, I am glad to hear that you appreciate art, too.
The problem that I tend to have with my suits is that the rain ruins the shaping very fast, and the trousers can be a pain if soaked. I just invested up to $1k on a new pressing kit from Reliable Corp., but never really have enough time to re-press the suit. Ah well, the perfection on silver screen is but realistic.
P.S: Opinion needed here - should we open a thread separately in tribute to Anthony Sinclair suits?

Heating tends to be overdone in most places I frequent in the winter, so I don't think I could bear a 16 oz suit. However, it would be perfect for most public buildings in the summer time, except it would be unbearable outside. It's such a challenge to dress when I spend so much time both inside and outside! 19 oz Escorial sounds lovely!
I find rain frustrating as well. I avoid taking my best clothes out in the rain, but sometimes you can't avoid it. Long trench coats help a bit.
This place doesn't like opening too many new threads. Since Anthony Sinclair is part of the topic of this thread, I don't see any problem continuing your tribute here, or you can continue in this thread I started about my suit, where someone else shared his suit too: https://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/48834/anthony-sinclair-special-order-suit/
