    What's wrong with my MTM suit jacket?

    This comment might actually be a "Duh!". However, I have noted an an increasing number of "Wedding Suit" ads on Style Forum and other fora. It seems to be a way that the proliferating MTM "custom tailoring" companies are selling problematic (in many cases) tailoring services to a generation of...

    I am not a veteran, although I served as a civilian in a War Zone. Well done ! Your fabric choice is in understated good taste. This is what the old money types were purported to wear a generation or two ago before Designers and their ilk descended from the trees.

    The Overcoat Thread

    Doesn't really work. Looks costumey. Coat, sport coat, chinos(?) sweater vest, scarf, newsboy hat. Looks like a get-up for Pitti. Also, I never really understood the concept of a ligtweight over coat, especally with a scarf. I've lived in very cold places: Upstate new York and Chicago. In...

    Semi-bespoke suit trousers don't fit correctly -- what are my options?

    Don't worry about protocol. From what you say, the pants can't be properly altered. They should be re-cut at no extra charge. 30+ years ago I had the same problem with an MTM Brooks Bros suit. In fact, the reason I went MTM was so the trousers would fit properly- the stock trousers were...

    My two cents.Not for me. Nice cut, though I never wear DBs. Color: beyond the pale. Too much like a lime sorbet.

    Massive Lapels and built-up shoulders are a turn-off for me.

    Linen Safari Jacket

    I did not recommend it. It showed up in my email, as I am a customer, most recently of their MTM program.

    The tie knot came out really well. I disagree. I find (inadvertent) double dimples jarring.
