    WW Chan or other options?

    Thanks - I thought they were still right around $2K (a bit below or above depending on fabric) but could be wrong. I'll have to check out I Sarti Italiani and the sourthern Italy options.

    WW Chan or other options?

    Mainly just curious - honestly I really wanted to do WW Chan the first time I ordered suits but had a lot of fabric for CMT and was able to get Yao to use my own fabric. I still wear the Yao suits I had made a decade ago but just want to do something different this time around.

    WW Chan or other options?

    I'm looking to get back building my bespoke wardrobe and looking to spend in the neighborhood of $2k-3k per suit. Is WW Chan still one of the better options in that price point or are there better options now to be considered. I haven't used anybody since Gordon Yao about a decade ago.

    P Johnson MTM

    I'm contemplating getting a midnight blue tux made by P Johnson this summer. Has anybody gone that route? Previously I've used P Johnson for more casual looking suits for lack of a better description. I'm debating between P Johnson and Chan as cost would be somewhat similar (but PJ is much...

    Black Tie Options

    Hi all, I am finally going to pull the trigger on a mtm or bespoke tuxedo after finding myself needing one 12 times over the past six months. I'm looking to get a peak lapel, classic single breasted tuxedo in the darkest midnight blue fabric I can find. Don't plan to anything out of the...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    Does anybody have any experience with the Wholecut oxford in black calf? Will they shine up really nicely? I would like to get these for black tie events but the picture on Carmina's website is not the best.

    Kent Wang - Affiliate thread

     I'm about the same measurements except for 6'2" and am receiving a Kent Wang polo today in large. Hopefully it works well but I'll report back on the sizing. One of the nice things about living in Houston is every Kent Wang delivery comes next day!

    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

    Quick question on measurements. Has anybody mailed in an existing shirt for them to copy measurements from? Would this be the most accurate way to get the fit one wants if they like the way an existing shirt fits? I'm thinking of just going this route and then next time I'm in NYC to swing by...

    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

    Has anybody gone and been measured in person? If so are they able to dial in the fit pretty quickly that way? I'll be in NYC next month and am thinking of switching from Ascot Chang because of the convenience of ordering and cost savings. Also, do they do a button down collar with a nice roll...

    RTW Trousers with side adjusters

     Thanks, just lighter weight wools in light grey, blue, tan, etc. Nothing crazy just the basics. I'll end up getting them MTM if that is the only option but I'm a pretty standard size in pants so would prefer to save a bit of money there if it is at all possible.

    Anybody know of a good RTW option for summer trousers with side adjusters? I'm having trouble finding many options but really dislike belts.

    P Johnson MTM

    As an FYI, they have now opened up a NY showroom so it is a lot more convenient for us guys in the States to have something made up. I've only dealt with them by email so far but they have been very informative and I'm looking forward to my first appointment. '

    Kent Wang - Affiliate thread

    Actually I owe Kent an apology. I just plugged the items back in to check shipping and it was like $7 which is pretty reasonable (Saphir, dusting brush and shoe horn). The problem must have bee that I originally had some shoe trees I my cart but removed them and the shipping didn't adjust...
