Hi all,
Relatively new poster here, long time vintage collector, mostly 50s and 60s stuff.
I am wary of measuring myself and submitting the measurements to an "online custom tailor" in Nepal or Thailand. Too much can get lost in the process, and I can't really blame the tailor for not churning out a replica based on a photo and some measurements.
My question is: would my success rate be higher if i actually sent a garment which they could deconstruct? Has anyone tried this? To what degree of success? I have several suits that fit me quite well that I wouldn't mind sacrificing.
