Some vendors tremble when things like this happen. Others rise to the challenge and use it as an opportunity to shine. A good outcome here is better than any banner ad.
This sounds like a piece of buggy code that gets fixed only as specific bugs manifest: after each fix you hope that's the end of it, but new bugs keep getting discovered. I think you got a lemon. Request the remake. Worst case they say no and you have Frankenstein's monster to keep. Best...
Scott handled the back and forth, John handled production and the delivery was managed by Bennie. Got my order in 2/13 but there was a week of back and forth re: measurements and such. If something sounds a bit out of the ordinary they'll question you on it, which I like. Better to measure...
You can typically find new with tags Bill's on eBay for around $70 a pair.
For formal/casual in most any kind of weather, medium gray wool is by far your most versatile trouser. It goes with just about anything (except a gray jacket), easy to tailor, doesn't hold odor, hard to stain, keeps...
There's "very snug", "snug", "medium" and "plan on smuggling in a six pack at the theater?". I chose the "snug". I can still wear a sweater or a hoodie under the jacket comfortably. Langlitz also asks you what you intend to wear under the jacket so I think between the 4 categories and your...
Langlitz Columbia in black goatskin with Cossack collar, chest pocket, map pocket and gun pocket, with shoulder and elbow patches (without the diamond stitching). Quoted to be ready end of March, and received yesterday.
This is a very ‘moto’ style jacket and not intended to be worn off the...
A quality suit jacket/sports coat will have a full or half canvass interior (usually made of wool and/or horsehair) between the outer fabric and lining. This molds to your body over time and can make the jacket's fit more personal.
Chest measurements are considered 'universal' by many jacket vendors, and when people actually provide a chest measurement for a jacket, they do so by laying a jacket flat, then measuring from armpit seam to armpit seam. So a person with a 42" chest should have a jacket that fits the same...
Agreed. Depending on your body type and the patterns used by the jacket vendor, a fit will work 'more or less'. Some vendor's patterns will work for certain people and not very well for others; hard to determine based purely on measurements, basically involves trial and error which can...
I believe the OP is referring to sleeve pitch. If so, here's an article that goes into it in some detail: http://parisiangentleman.co.uk/academy/do-your-sleeves-hang-low-how-sleeve-pitch-can-make-or-break-a-suit/
As a buyer of bespoke suits, this is an important detail in overall look while...
Having 'short' sizes would help as well. :) I would think offering an XL might address some of the sizing issues while keeping things 'standard'. I agree that measuring half the shoulder width plus sleeve length is very important as I have suit sleeves (shoulder to cuff) that range from 23.5...
