P Johnson MTM

[kayhill]

My experience has been anywhere from 4-8 weeks (picking mine up today, 8 weeks after order).

I think they quote 6-8 weeks for suits but if you need something specific I sure they would try to help you out. Get in touch with them to find out.

Add a week to that if you have alterations made at your second fitting.

sooo if i wish to make a suit here at a later date, should i make a shirt here first? or should i just go with someone like peter nacklhe

If you're thinking of a shirtmaker based out in Parramatta, it's Charles Nakhle.

I don't think that you'd have a have a shirt made at P.Johnson before you have a suit made although, if you'd like to have a shirt made, there's also no reason why you couldn't have a shirt and a suit made at the same time.

It's more of a lack of available funds thing. Any advice is welcome

Centrix - sorry I only just realised there was a P.Johnson Thread - feel free to come in for a shirt. No minimums and good way to see what we can do.

I reinvigorated by P Johnson Tailors review with some new (higher quality) photos on the weekend:



More here.

Was looking through the P Johnson Tumblr and came across this incredible polo/shirt knit that Patrick is wearing. Any idea if it is a one off or can be made/purchased! It is next level!

I think that you should just call or e-mail P.Johnson to ask. If you e-mail them, send them a link to the Tumblr post.

Anyway, after your post in the Australian Member's thread, a bit of detective work by iSurg and Sartorial Scum showed that it may well be one of these shirts:

However, the best way to be sure is to talk with them by phone or e-mail.

Sartorial Scum did you end up getting those two suits for comparing?

Yes I did, I will try and get some photos taken this weekend. I have since gotten a few more orders in so I will see if i can get any photos of those

 

[Sartorial Scum]

Been asked for this by 5-6 people so apologies for my laziness.

Here are some comparison shots of my PJohnson and Suit Shop suits.

PJ in Charcoal Sharkskin and SS in Navy

Both are in a Ariston S130 Cloth.

Standard lapel with for both.

PJ Suit is using a lightweight canvas with no padding in the shoulder in the PJ classic

SS Suit is in the soft shoulder

I feel like the PJ suit drapes a bit better with less structure in the chest and shoulders but both feel excellent.

These were both my first commissions with a few alterations made for ones I have coming.








This one is from the recent "Trainwreck" Friday challenge - Unstructured, Wide Notch Lapels, Patch Pockets


Will be receiving one from the PJ Roma line in a couple of weeks in a lighter grey S150's with the Neapolitan "Spalla Camicia" Shoulder.

 

[kayhill]

Excellent. Thanks for that SS.

Do you feel there is a noticeable difference in workmanship?

 

[Yowzer]

SS great pictures. The one from Suit Shop is half canvassed I presume?

 

[Sartorial Scum]

Yes the one from Suit Shop is half canvassed.

The most noticeable thing IMO is that my PJohnson suit has essentially no padding through the chest and shoulders(none that I can feel anyway) which makes it lighter and cooler in the summer and gives the cloth a nicer drape.

The Suit Shop suit is definitely very well constructed and has excellent options in terms of cloth as well. (Loro Piana, Ariston ….)

I have another Herringbone MTM and rate the Suit shop suit above and beyond although the price was significant less than what i paid for my Herringbone mtm.

Both offer excellent value and I certainly will (and have) be ordering more from them in the future.
