Any guesses which fabric in his books would most closely resemble the one used and showed in the 'about' section under 'suits' on his website ...?

I heart you so much for this.

Wasn't sure what I wanted for Christmas, until I saw this! 

This watch is so much better than the Cartier Tank I never wanted, need more pics!

Any word on the second run of silver wedge cuff links?

Trim fit?

@Frankie22 , the camera angle and me bending over to take the photo is playing games with the view of the pants. The pants are Howard Yount's "made in Italy" , so they are fairly slim. They are also not as "floody" as they appear although I did not have a break put into the pants. Another crappy pic may give you a better idea.

@patliean1 , Kent said he will be getting the next round of boots in about 6 months - better put a reminder on your calendar.

They are in stock on the web?

Kent,

In October I picked up your awesome sneaker in grey. It's an awesome make up! I put it on and it felt decent. I tossed the box, then wore it into work for a half-day and then realized it squeezed the heck out of my right foot. I left for a trip to Europe the next morning, leaving them at home, which was a bummer as it was going to be my Europe walking sneaker Having come back, do I have any options to return without the box or anything? Would you recommend sizing up, even if the length seems to be fine, as it's just the top and sides of my foot getting squeezed.

Thanks in advance for your help

@Frankie22 pants or boots? Boots should be there, not sure about pants over at HY. They are the Brushed Twill Pants - Brown.

First Kent Want suit. Will def be ordering many more!
So i def need to take the inseam up just a touch. I also already had the jacket altered to take in the waist to give it a more fitted look. I think the jacket is a touch too long also. This is the ropped shoulder. Notice the dimpling/creasing in the fourth pick. Is that normal with this type of shoulder or do i need to adjust something? Any other suggestions on anything else?

The jacket is most definitely not too long. It just barely reaches the bottom of your ass and it's level with the crotch of your trousers. If your sleeves are smooth while you are holding your arms at a natural resting state, then there isn't any problem with the shoulder.

All in all, pretty excellent for a first go.

Ok sweet the jacket length stays put then. As do the shoulders cause you are correct, the shoulders are ok at resting. Next suit will be unpadded anyway.

fjab17 this fabric is VBC 4321.

The jacket is fine, but the trousers are too long. Perhaps the shirt sleeves are also a tad long. Great looking suit though!

Just got my MTM suit (TR7122 from Basic Four Seasons 1) and am looking for feedback on the fit. There was a mix up with the waist measurement, which definitely needs to be taken in and the sleeves which need to be shortened, but I just want to see what else should be adjusted. The pants are unfinished so they are not draping well because they are bunching at the bottom. Please excuse the ****** pics/ lighting.

I'm a huge fan of this first photo.

I like that fabric. The jacket looks good from the front, though I'm not sure how you ended-up with sleeves so long on an MTM garment. Looks like they need to be shortened at least half an inch (the right one even more, perhaps) which might result in the buttons being too close to the end, assuming you opted for functional cuffs. Back of the jacket and trousers look very messy. Don't know about the trousers, but the jacket can be cleaned-up with some tailoring and definitely on any future MTM orders.

Longtime lurker/frequenter of other forums - originally from London, I bought a couple of Kent Wang ties a couple of years ago and never got round to exploring his other offerings. Having moved to NYC for work a couple of months ago, I dropped them an email to see if I could swing by the pop-up shop to try on some outerwear. I went over today - although the trench was not quite what I was after, I did end up with an order for a 3-piece in Ariston Navy (AR0011).

I must say, very impressed by the apparent quality of the construction, choice of fabrics and price point. Also, Aaron is a lovely chap - very knowledgable, helpful and good to have a chat with.
