From BBC Radio 4. Written by Anita Sullivan; Full-cast dramatisation
starring Allan Corduner, Malcolm Storry, Stephen Marzella, Catrin Stewart
and Liza Sadovy.

Three elderly tailors, a trouser-maker, a coat-maker and a waistcoat-maker,
have been commissioned to make a bespoke suit for an up and coming politician.
They have worked together for decades but have only met very rarely, although
increasingly, these days, at their colleagues' funerals. The suit has been
designed by Mrs White, a mysterious woman whom they've never met. Mrs White
has imposed very strict rules about secrecy, and all off-cuts have to be
returned to her. The suiting fabric supplied is also unusual. It seems
to change colour and quality with the mood of the tailors, and to move against
the needle in a sentient manner. As the garment takes shape, it begins to have
a powerful effect on anyone who comes into contact with it.
