Hey gang,
I have had some folks reach out about the Tanis suit over the past few months, and it got brought up in the Sri Lanka Blazer thread again.
I said I wasn't going to do another Adventure item for a bit after the stress of the Officer Trousers and Blouse, but I can start gathering interest in the Tanis Suit if folks are interested!
The sample pictured will have a few changes, and I will have them add a bit more structure to the coat so it is a little more substantial, but the plan is to use the measurements from the Officer trousers for these trousers, and I will just slightly adjust the dimensions of the Sri Lanka Blazer for the coat. Mainly the shoulders. Some folks were concerned about the shoulder width on the blazers, so I gave a little more room in them, but this being a 3 piece vs Sport Coat, I'd want a bit snugger fit.
Heres the rub - Stocking 3 separate items for a complete suit is tough. Having a lot of overstock of particular sizes just won't work for me financially or storage wise honestly.
So I would need preorders for sure. I am thinking of running it similar to the CWU 27/p Suits I am working on - running a preorder with deposits for a goal to hit to get into production. If we don't reach the goal, everyone is refunded in full.
Price point is a little up in the air, freight has kinda exploded the past year. But judging from the sample costs, I would ballpark $650-$675
Anyhow, just throwing it out there to see if there is interest!
