One set of shirts had a too small shoulder measurement...new ones were made up asap and I was able to keep the mistakes as well. My tailor told me they'd be perfect for wearing under a sweater w/out a tie.

Other than that, minor issues, like a missing button on a 3 roll 2 (not missing button hole) or lining not exact (I'm specific about the lining under the collar as well as inside the coat. Pants a touch too long, etc...

All are fixed for me, as I try on at the shop before I take the garment home.

Thank you.

No I am far from new but given that Matt was anticipating something to go wrong, I found it hard to believe that he was speaking of his regular tailor.

Belgian shoes sewn into the trouser hems?

Cold turkey, per the usual.

No. Still the big R.

Well, no one's perfect. There is always some minor anxiety in anticipation of a delivery--not because I think I'll get screwed, but because it's a pain to wait for the fix and it sucks to not have what you expected after waiting for a while.

I had one of the linings replaced. As completed, all my odd jackets wound up with red linings. So, I had one switched to a moss green, which I had originally requested. Yes, I am aware of the irony that I can wear the same shoe everyday but get peaved by having the same linings in my jackets.

If you do have problem with details or fit, this will be the reason.

But I won't lecture you since you fully understand that you're forgoing a fundamental step because of your confidence in Rubinacci's after-delivery attentiveness.

Most men, moreover, become plumper and softer starting around your age. If it isn't happening to you, great...but just keep it in mind.

For sure. What better insurance policy against that tendency than a wardrobe of bespoke clothing?

Your age entitles you to a discount on this thread.

You could be attacked by a feral jungle cat and lose an arm in the process, which would upset the balance of the suit jacket.

I asked for a tiny bit of extra room in one suit, but that one won't come for some time. The other is cut like before--I've still got 8-10cm of extra space around my waist.

As for foregoing a fitting: hasn't been a problem before and they have always been happy to fix anything.

Package was sent tot he wrong address. Luckily, that person refused delivery and sent it back and I eventually received it.

I wanted a 3 button rolled to 2 and I envisioned it much different than it came out.
