    I quite like the cut of my Informale jeans. Mid-high rise, roomy top block, straight-ish leg. Both hands fit in pockets easily without it being tight in the seat.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I haven't worn them out yet, as I received them at the beginning of Summer in Australia. We're starting to tip into the cooler weather now so I will get the chance shortly. All your points on what to wear them with are good - my issue is that the pants aren't very flexible in my wardrobe...

    I've had good results in both tailoring and shirts from The Finery Company, via Melbourne Trunk shows.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I have trousers in Fresco 510388 (mottled mid-grey) from the Lite, Fancies 2 & 3ply bunch and a Standeven Explorer as well (but Super 120s 240g). The standeven trousers were actually my first proper bespoke order ever. I picked the cloth because it had better color variegation than the heavier...

    Ongoing Bespoke Projects

    I haven't worn daks before myself, but I'm curious - usually you're given one extra button, maybe ~1 inch forward of the resting button? As that is 1 inch from each side does it feel like a big difference, or does the elastic in the back give it a bit of ease?

    The Bespoke Shoes Thread

    I posted earlier in the thread about my first bespoke experience with a local shoemaker here. The issue I had was the final fitting shoe seemed to fit well, and the initial try on (without the sock liner/heelpad) seemed good but the final delivery the shoes were uncomfortable, particularly in...

    Ongoing Bespoke Projects

    I am by no means a cloth expert but I have a jacket in AIT-001 and I have the same view of my cloth - cloth looks fantastic and is lovely to wear.

    Jenny Fei, top dr do all in the c b d. Saved many of my garments in the past few years - knits and woven A few years ago my summer jacket had a rip and ~60 pulled threads of varying degrees from my friend's cat going to town on it. Wouldnt even know it happened now. I only know where the damage...

    They have quite a strong inwards curve in the toebox. I have duck shaped feet so the curve cuts into my pinky toe on my right foot. Should probably sell my pair, as I don't find them comfortable. Jose Zarpan as well. Mila works from home in the Balaclava area now. TFC no longer do MTM but...

    The REMY loafers are lined, and they probably have some plastic interfacing in between the lining and the exterior (which is possibly part of the problem). I have duck shaped feet - narrower heels (bony too) but standard width. Well for me they need to be comfortable, every time I've worn them...

    Yes, I bought a pair of the REMY loafers. They are more structured than the Summer Walks I think (haven't tried them personally). Mine are uncomfortable in the heels, could be a sizing issue. 42 felt too big. 41 felt pretty good in the shop but uncomfortable walking down the street, get blisters...

    I can vouch for Jenny, she repaired the jacket in my photo after my friend's cat went to town on it when I was cat sitting while he was overseas. Cat figured out how to open my cupboard door and I hadn't put it in a suit bag. Repair was $640 - 71 loose threads and a 5-10cm rip - can't even tell...

    My experience with MTM/Bespoke shirts has been the first shirt has been unwearable for me from everyone - despite expressing preference for comfort upfront, always too tight in the chest (it 'fits' with arms down, but uncomfortable to move in). Two makers offered a free remake of the shirt...

    Nice! I have a cordovan wallet that Rocky made me in 2017. Hands down the best purchase I made that year. I'm using a wallet less and less these days but I think I'll get him to make me a card holder or something when I get around to it. As far as Australian leatherworkers go, I also like...

    I have heard of him. Mila's (previously of Magik Alterations) husband told me about him when I first visited her to pick up some alterations after she started working from home. I possibly even posted asking if anyone had tried before, don't think I got a reply. edit: just realized you were...

    In regards to looking at a jacket, if you haven't already I would suggest looking at the two following threads - Unfunded Liabilities - aka "The Cloth Thread" and Ongoing Bespoke Projects - these threads are absolutely fantastic for learning about cloth and jacket style - you should be able to...

    That's them. The stuff on the website is probably outsourced to some marketing company. I recently paid $4.5K for a bespoke jacket from them - price included a surcharge for the cloth and I'm very happy with it, and it's also extremely comfortable compared to my made to measure jacket from...
