What does "CMT" mean? Sorry, Im slow

Basically means that you provide the fabric to the tailor. (If the tailor doesn't have the specific fabric your want, you can source it yourself)

 

[brillopad]

Yep, and CMT stands for "cut, make, trim."

CMT is what you look for when you have a pile of "Unfunded Liabilities".

I recently bought the official "Put This On" tie (red and white striped) and I am very impressed with the quality. I'll probably pick up a Navy Grenadine and Burgundy Pindot to round out my wardrobe. Kent, I'm curious if you have any new tie designs to be released soon?

 

[Amine]

I was going to email the same question to Aaron as I would love to have 6 fold neckties in the same fabric as the new pindot pocket squares.

I try to avoid commenting on new products as it can be very unpredictable how long it will take for them to arrive. Let's say there will be a new knit tie in 2-10 weeks and a new six-fold tie in 3-6 months.

Anyone have thoughts on solid navy fabrics for a suit? I'm tentatively planning that it be my wedding suit, although it will be worn heavily at work and it's possible I may order yet another suit for my wedding considering it's not until August 2015 (interested in getting a length of heavier English cloth and having it done CMT as I have to say I do wish Kent's maker stocked stuff heavier than 280 grams).

I'd like to be "true navy" enough to work in a job interview, I don't think it needs to be arch-conservative dark and I want it to pop in natural light and in photos. Subtle texture, maybe.

Tentatively leaning towards TR7121, but also considering TR7089 and AR0021. I believe I've seen seen photos of TR7089 in the wild earlier in the thread and I can try to find those, but if anyone has photos of the other two I'd love to see them.

I recently tried on the size 38 trial suit and got these adjustment suggestions from Aaron:

Waist -2.5 cm
Front-1 cm
Back -1 cm
Chest -1 cm
Hips -2 cm
Button point -1.5 cm
Armhole -1 cm
Bicep -1 cm
Lower sleeve -1 cm
Length -4 cm cm
Sleeve length -2.5 cm

Trouser base size 32

Waist -0.5 cm
Rise ok
Crotch ok
Seat +1 cm
Inseam 26.5 inches

What do you guys think? (I was thinking maybe the jacket could be shortened a little more and maybe the chest reduced more?)

 

[prozach1576]

-4cm on the length combined with lowering the buttoning point 1.5cm seems off to me. I wouldn't shorten that jacket more than 2cm unless you really want the trendy short jacket look. Buttoning point looks pretty good as is. Maybe a hair lower. -2.5cm on the waist also seems like a lot. Maybe a little less out of the waist and then reduce the back of the chest to get rid of some of that extra fabric?

+1 to all of this, especially regarding the length. I also prefer a slightly higher rise.

The shoes look nice. Are they the Kent Wang Museum calf?

Yep, I believe so. I was just trying them on.

Ok, thanks for responding.

 

[venividivicibj]

Don't bring in the chest. Don't want lapels to bow, it seems fine now.

When are people going to stop asking for fit advice with a t-shirt on? Put on a proper dress shirt under that jacket!

I'm with the rest of the crowd....I don't agree with a lot of those recommendations...especially the cheat and waist.
