Thanks Deriku, i mailed british fabrics regarding this item -

60% KID MOHAIR 40 % SUPER 100's WOOL WORSTED SUITING FABRIC. LENGTH 3.50 METRES.WIDTH 150cms (60").WEIGHT AROUND 265  GRAMS / METRE. PLAIN DARK NAVY BLUE SHADE WITH A FIRM, SMOOTH, SHINEY,CRISP FINISH.

And the reply is there is enough cloth to make 2 suits... Im confused..

Additionaly... How much of horsehair canvas needed for a single suit?

Maybe you can talk to your tailor first.. ask him for measurement and suggestion of how much fabric needed for your size.
Then you achieve two things at once..

depends on the fabric... around 900-1500 would get you pretty decent suit.. smile.gif

Has anyone tried Indochino.com? I really like their new collection but I saw some photos on other sites and the cut doesnt look great at all sad.gif but I dont know if that is just because they couldnt measure properly lol
