    Perhaps its not a coincidence then.. pretty concerning if they’ve changed the model such that it can no longer deal with length adjustments

    I did - I increased the front and back length by the same amount but that's not what I received. I used the same measurements for my previous custom jackets and they turned out fine, so not sure what happened with this one - hopefully just a one-off but you never know given the recent...

    I actually just received (a couple of weeks ago) a custom made jacket and the length measurements were completely wrong. It looked like they mixed up the front and back length. The front should be a few cm longer than the back by default (based on how SS measure it) but my jacket arrived with...

    Wait, so you’re saying you can no longer get zip fly custom trousers? That seems utterly bizarre. I appreciate that some people prefer button fly, which is fine, but I personally can’t stand them (they are just unnecessarily cumbersome and impractical to me, but each to their own). Regardless...

    Has anyone had much experience with Proper Cloth MTM suits and, if so, how do they generally compare to Suitsupply's MTM service? It looks like SuSu has a few more inputs available in the MTM tool (albeit they seem to keep reducing the available inputs/mods), as well as a greater fabric range...

    Morjas shoes

    That's a shame re. the leather. I agree, you'd expect them to hold up better than that. I'm thinking of giving the grain leather loafers a try (wondering if the pebblegrain will help hide imperfections/creases, as well as generally being a bit more casual). I recently ordered the plain suede...

    Just curious on people's experience with changing button stance on custom made jackets. I ordered a custom jacket and lowered the button stance by "-1: Lower marginally", which I assume is 1cm? However, when comparing it to a previous custom made jacket with the default button stance...

    Morjas shoes

    Realise this thread hasn't been active for a while but I keep seeing Morjas pop up on my feeds - and an increasing number of respectable aficionados seem to be promoting them.. Can anyone comment on the sizing versus Crockett & Jones loafers? I have a few pairs of C&J Bostons so wondering how...

    For a second I thought they had removed the button stance option from the website, but I then realised that it's still there, under the Size options (not the Style) options.. I lost some respect for their MTM offering after they removed the 4-layer canvas option (they now only offer the "light"...

    Suitsupply NYC

    I tried contacting SS support but didn't get a response (they are usually pretty quick to reply).. @SpitShine Out of interest, how did you determine that custom jackets default to the 2-layer now? I can see they've removed the choice between 2 and 4 layer but it's not clear to me which it...

    I noticed the removal of the 4-layer canvas the other day too and agree - that is very disappointing. Did you drop the support team an email by any chance? I’m going to shortly, will see what they say

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Interesting, have never come across these folks before but pricing looks pretty reasonable for MTM. How easy is it to order/commission something remotely? I checked out their website but not much info on there. Are they willing to make adjustments if you're not happy with the resulting fit?

    Forward or Reverse Pleats and WHY

    Appreciate this thread is very old but I just stumbled across it on my travels.. It goes without saying that pleat style is entirely subjective and everyone will have different tastes. That said, I actually like both forward and reverse (still talking about pleats here) but I was curious about...

    Question for those with experience ordering custom trousers from SS.. Does anyone know how the "Flat Seat" adjustment works, and whether it simply has the same effect as shortening the back rise? The description seems to suggest it has the effect of reducing bunching at the back of the thigh...

    Suitsupply NYC

    I'm new to this thread but having read through a bunch of the posts, I've seen a lot of mentions of the "skirting" issue - where the bottom of the skirt flares out, away from the hips. It seems a lot of posters put this down to the jacket being too short but I wonder if anyone has found any...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    I must admit I've gone down a real rabbit hole with this.. Perusing the suitsupply thread, I've seen many a mention of this "skirting" issue. Many posters (albeit not tailors as far as I can tell) mostly just seem to say that this effect is made worse by a shorter jacket. I also noticed that...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    I think the jacket was buttoned, although I can't remember to be honest 😄 It happens to be a suitsupply mtm jacket (had it done in-store but they didn't adjust the hip measurement), so I'll take your advice and reduce it on my next order. Appreciate the help!

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Thanks @Despos @joorinainen , appreciate the feedback. It bothers me less on this jacket since it's more on the casual side and linen (creases do wonders for masking imperfections). However, it's a problem I tend to run into on most RTW jackets and on a more formal jacket, this bothers me...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Update - I happened to be browsing in a tailoring store this morning (wearing the jacket in question) and got chatting with a member of staff. I mentioned that I wasn't happy with the flaring and he told me the issue is with the balance. He suggested that if I was to pull the front of the jacket...
