    Bespoke shirt tailor - NYC

    Hi All My previous supplier of shirts (Brooks) has modified their shirts and no longer fit me well (or maybe my body has changed). Sourcing this forum for recs on a few NYC tailors that produce dress shirts. Previously, I've tried Indochino on a superb deal, but quality was low, and even with...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Received my first shirt from ProperCloth, and I seem to have the same problem with the majority of OTR shirts - that the sleeves are fine when my arm is down, but pull back so much when I lift my arms. Given that they are providing 'free alterations', what is it I would tell them to fix? I...

    Indochino suits?

     After two more adjustments (jacket back loosened slightly, seat of pants adjusted, pants shortened), the suit is back and looks great!! I'll say that the pants are improved, but still not 100%. I'll live with it - if it were off-the-rack, I wouldn't even notice. Indochino was more than...

    Indochino suits?

     Reporting back! Received the suit in about 3 weeks time and the verdict is positive. Very positive, actually. The jacket is about 95% there to me. I will ask them to loosen up the back just a slight bit (if not possible, i'd be fine as is), and a very slight shortening of the sleeves...

    Indochino suits?

    Thanks for the responses here. I was unable to cancel the order, so decided to go into the showroom for a measurement. The whole experience took about 40 minutes and the associate (Hillary) was very pleasant to deal with. Will report back when I get the suit.

    Indochino suits?

    It was late, I had a few drinks, and received a Black Friday email from Indochino. I purchased this 'premium' navy suit for $350. :uhoh: Aware of Indochino's flaws from reading reviews only AFTER making my purchase :spew:, I was wondering if anyone here had a decent experience with the NYC...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Just got my shirt back and am very impressed to how close it was to replicating the shirt I sent in. From the time I sent it in to getting the replicated shirt back took about 1 month. Am very pleased with the results and will be ordering more in the near future.

    gift for a starting MBA student

    I finally got myself a tablet in my last semester of school. Wish I had it from the start. With all the HBS case studies your friend will have to read, the tablet will be beyond handy. Make sure it has a decent sized screen - mine is a 10" and makes reading PDFs and books a breeze.

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Hi Luxire I ordered my first shirt a month ago, but sent in the shirt to be replicated last week. Within the package that I shipped my shirt in, I left a note asking for a few requests and have followed up with an email to inquire about the request, but have not yet heard back. My order number...

     Do you normally bring your own cloth? If so, where does one go about purchasing cloth!? Thanks

Program was hovering around 45, but I'll be starting at a wall st firm this summer, with 100+ starting and 40-50% bonus. All about networking, not necessarily about...
