Junior’s men’s shop Philadelphia

[adschus]

did you swing by the opening party?!

Sure did! Was a blast talking with Glenn and others. I wanted to check out the fabric books but would have been the weirdo doing that haha! I live in Chicago area so can’t just drop in

Thoughts on the suit? Would you do it again? same fabric?

Would love to see a better pic of the suit.

I'm headed that way on Friday for a visit, not that the b&m shop is open... debating my next commission,

wanted to follow up with detailed photos of the jacket only. Needs some hand washing on the lapel that my eyesight couldn’t pick up naturally haha, please excuse that

This past weekend I took the train down to Philly for my first fitting for my first ever MTM suit. I really liked the Junior's style and felt the price point was fair when comparing with other makers. I went with a bog standard dark gray two piece suit. Swapped the patch pockets for flap pockets and added side tabs on the waistband, no belt loops.

The shop is great, a very nice space to be in and Glenn was excellent. He answered all my questions very patiently and without making me feel like an idiot (which I often am). My first couple of choices for fabric unfortunately weren't available, but after combing through some more swatch books we found one I liked and that was available.

I am very excited to see the first iteration of the final product in a couple weeks and I'll definitely follow up here with photos and first impressions.

This is really encouraging. I’m going to Philly in January for a fitting for my first suit - a classic navy in a year-round weight, probably Holland and Sherry. Been corresponding with Glenn by email and his shop seems like one of the best MTM values on the market right now. Can’t wait!

Please keep us posted. I’ve been communicating with Glenn as well and plan to head up to Philly from DC in the new year.

Has anyone here ordered a 3 patch pocket sport coat from Glenn? If so, would you mind sharing some pictures?

The placement of the welted breast pocket always seems a bit low to me and am curious if this translates over to a patch breast pocket...

Unfortunately I haven’t. I don’t think that’s part of Glenn’s house style fwiw. I’m trying to think if I’ve seen one on his IG but nothing comes to mind. It’s worth it to contact him

Ordered a navy Fresco suit yesterday. Glenn gave a lot of good advice in helping pick the details. Excited to see how it turns out!

Congrats on the suit. Please follow up with pictures and enjoy it in good health!

Has anyone bought the RTW cotton canvas trousers and can comment on the rise. I am thinking of picking up a 32” and read the rise is 9.75” which does not really sound like a high rise to me. I actually don’t mind the low rise but was just wondering

I recently got 2 pairs of the cotton canvas and feel like the rise is fairly high, I can wear them at my true hips.

I think sometimes diff brands measure differently (I wonder if the 9.75 is laying flat vs from the middle of the crotch)

Nice how are you liking them? Would you say the waist measurements are accurate, I wanted to order a 30 and 32 to try both. I ordered their cotton navy short sleeve polo today. I really like glen’s style I think he has something cool going on with his brand.

I dig them! They’ve been my go-to for the office during summer when things are a bit more casual. Definitely not as heavy as I had assumed earlier. I’ll prob get 1-2 more to round out the colors for next summer.

So I bought a 32 ecru and 30 loden to try out and they are a midweight canvas, feels like quality stuff. I kept the 32 ecru color. The rise is NOT high rise, it really was 9.75”. I also tried in their navy crepe polos in large and medium and I would say they are a tiny bit under tts. They are also really nice and good price for made in Italy. Probably going to pick up the 32 Loden.

does anybody own their merino knit polos and ho did they size? I feel they would pair well with their canvas chinos
