Well dear readers, just because I’m not swanning about in a suit most of these dog days doesn’t mean that they are far from my mind. In particular I’m thinking of the North By Northwest suit that I have commissioned. I’ve run into a bit of a bump in the road, a once common lining is very hard to find. It is a diamond print Jacquard.

It may look more like this: which is what I’m trying to source.

Can anyone out there help or offer something similar? If I can’t find it, I’ll use a slate blue plain lining.
