I've never donned a suit since my school uniform. It was one of those promises one makes to ones self. I hope they don't bury me in one.

Another thing I do not have is a price.

my sisterinlaw is unwell after many years of cancer... just had another operation recently...

this suit will take 4 weeks to make and another 1 or 2 sittings for fittings...

I dont want to turn up to a funeral looking like a bag of sheet...

this may not be for everyone but a standard I set for myself and as a sign of respect for that person I farewell...

I wonder if I should also get a hat... ?  Undecided

the one Grant is holding is not bashed very well... just ask Big Vic..

At least give the 2nd one a try, Mechanic. Those shorts should match your complexion.

Codpieces are all the rage these days, you know. Your sister-in-law will want you to look smart at her funeral.

Why don't you ask her?

Not going to an anti-Nazi march are you?  Bit risky...
