Will keep you posted on this – I have just spoken with the factory owner, Alan, and he seems really nice! I am going to send him a sketch of what I want along with my measurements and details such as hidden cuff pockets etc. Then he has a particular machinist that has experience in making costumes who is going to work off my designs. He is doing the first outfit at cost for me, and then I can go back to him asking for any changes I want. They are going to keep my design/measurements on file so any future costumes will be made using this design as a template! They are also able to do stilt walking trousers and material props!!!
I gave him a £150 budget to work off, but he thinks he can do a two piece custom outfit for under £100.00 ($200.00 or €124.00). When you consider the US manufacturers are charging $500 +, delivery takes an eternity and the shipping is expensive, I think this is a bargain!
Once I get my first outfit I will post some pictures and if it turns out well I’ll do a little promoting for him in the clown world!
Watch this space!
