I don’t entirely disagree, although I’m not sure I could wear them comfortably. And for what it’s worth, I do consider you to be balanced and fair in your appraisals.I actually like that about his jackets. Somewhat of a unique signature.

This would really limit the number of makers pursued. Might be be a good time to go full wool.If a custom pattern is not bespoke, then what is? You get a blowjob with the jacket?
Uh oh. More fraudsters apparently.

I used to work in the high end fashion retail industry as a sales associate. I know the difference between MTM and bespoke in the context of tailoring and so did most of my customers. But I'm starting to think that outside of the suitmaking context bespoke simply means "made to individual order" as the dictionary tells us.
What's wrong here is that Himel claims that he is the only one in the business offering it (MTM), which is nonsense.

That’s obviously incorrect and Aero should not have cleared that submission from their copywriter. (Although having been one and an editor myself, sometimes things fall through the cracks.)
Considering that Aero is frequently at pains to note in responses to questions here and elsewhere that their jackets are built on stock sizes with adjustments and that they don’t have a whole marketing campaign based around “bespoke”, I am willing to give benefit of the doubt.
All of this^. When I tried the Avro? and shawl collared jacket on, I was shocked at the mediocre leather, relatively sloppy stitch work (which I am not that concerned about usually) and totally bizarre pattern(s).I do not think Himel has detractors, most of the criticism has been valid, the brand was unfortunately put on a pedestal before, and then people realised that it was far form that perceived level. The forum has the tendancy to go for the flavour of the month, but luckily it is seems much quicker at rectifying excessive praise nowadays.
Now this is much more reasonable and although debatable, I'm willing to agree, it's wrong. But fraud, no. Man that's heavy, that's almost implying criminality.I used to work in the high end fashion retail industry as a sales associate.

If you make an incorrect assumption based on the word and the marketing, then at some point before handing over money, I presume your mistake was corrected.
Many people misinterpret or make incorrect assumptions based on adverts, marketing etc. It just shows their naivety and ignorance. The same as when aero etc state that theirs is the best, toughest, most accurate repro etc.
I think you owe it to yourself to make sure what you are buying is what you think it is.
Comparing to aero is difficult to do on this forum because you probably had a wealth of anecdotal evidence and many more peoples experience to base your decision on compared to himel.
So, no sorry I don’t see the problem.
The overwhelmingly most discussed brand on this forum is aero - so if you misunderstood what they offer, I would be extremely surprised. Especially going back to the days when I first joined here.
The fact that you pulled out for other reasons doesn’t meant your misconception would not have been corrected before ordering.
So yeah, sorry. I’m not convinced of the fraud accusations.
And there are dozens upon dozens of threads here describing the process for aero of course. Himel is far less well described here. You left that out.I agree, it would be very surprising if I were to misunderstand what Aero offers, they are very clear in tthis aspect of their communication. Himel is misleading.
Who knows if it would have been corrected or not?
No, this is my point again. It is a weak accusation that in my opinion as an observer does not stand up to scrutiny.But the fact remains that I would have still engaged due to their misleding communication.
Fair enough, I do not know if it is even possible to convince you in any case...
Wait, with Himel it’s „FRAUD!!“, with Aero the exact same term is the fault of their copywriter…??
Are you for real?
As somebody who shouts „troll“ at everybody who‘s opinion you dislike, you should perhaps invest a minimum of effort in the credibility of your assumptions.
