    Suitsupply Fit Issue

    I have tried on everything at Suitsupply and finally settled on their Hartford suit. It was ordered in and as I was trying on the pants the salesperson tells me that there will be too much tailoring and that the pants won't look right once they have been taken that far in. The suit is a 40 and...

    What's the difference between a bespoke shirt and a MTM shirt?

    Let me preface this a bit. I understand the general concept and difference between a bespoke shirt and a MTM shirt. Basically, a bespoke shirt is on fully customized to my body and a pattern is made to cut the shirt to my body dimensions. A MTM shirt takes an existing pattern and then takes...

    Puffy Shirt in the Lower Back

    I'm looking for advice on what I can ask the tailor to do, to get rid of this puffiness in the lower back area of my tailored shirts. I've read that you should have roughly 1-3 inches of pinched fabric to allow for a comfortable fit. I hate nothing more than having a restricted feeling, or a...

    Greetings, and my apologies if my question seems foolish.

However this conclusion was usually based...

    WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

    There has been a lot of talk about the inappropriateness of casual shots in the WAYWRN thread. Yet, that is what many of us wear more often than our suit-and-tie ensembles. Most of you'd agree that posting in the SW&D sub-forum is not an option. I've tried to assemble most of the casual fits...
