Took the Plunge on a MCT Suit...

[farnham54]

Hey Folks,

Just ordered my first suit from MyCustomTailor.com. I previously had a tuxedo shirt made by them and it's simply fantastic compared with the ones I owned previously. You see, Tuxedo shirts are most frequently available at rental places, and very few rental places will cater to a tall, skinny guy, so the shirts all wear a bit like parachutes, causing a HUGE bulk of fabric coming out through the gorge of the dinner jacket. Looked VERY sloppy.

So, the suit details:

The style is 7743.

120s Merino Wool Blend All Year Round (#110)
Color: Silver (sil)
Requests: Snug Jacket Fit, Notch/Peak Lapel: Per Style Selected, Single vent at the back, British Canvas construction, Standard Hand Moulded Shoulders, Pants Fit Per Style Selected, Pants Pleats Per Style Selected, Pants Front Pockets Per Style Selected, Fly on Pant Per Style Selected, Two pockets at the back, Pants_Cuffs: 1.50 inch, Waistband On Pants Per Style selected, Pants Waistband Set Up Per Style selected, Lining: Red

I went with the red lining to give it a 'modern' flair--I know many folks here may not approve, but I think it'll look sharp.

I know some people havn't been totally happy with MCT suits, so I sit and wait with fingers crossed!

Of course, I will post pics when it arrive.

Cheers
Craig

So is it notch lapel or peak lapel? I am confused.

Sorry 'bout that--As per style selected means that they make according to the style I chose, the one on the top right.

So, this style has a notch lapel.
