SWD Discussion Thread for Tailoring

Maybe, like if I got for free and why not try it, but would not actively look for it

 

[sipang]

No but I mean the whole fit is perfectly classic, nothing sloppy about it

 

[clee1982]

Well I have a strong preference for structured tailoring for a reason

 

[clee1982]

now this would be a lot more wearable as dark brown, burgundy gives a whole different vibe (also seems like the guy chopped both jacket and pant)

Does look a bit cropped, but burgundy gives a whole better vibe

Good burly winter fit by Jean Marais in White Nights (1957)

I always get excited when clee posts some cool tailoring, and then the comedown hits when it's 3 sizes too small for me.

well, there is this, but I think it just doesn't work as well without texture (can work but you basically just get "one look")

if you're in the 38~42 range I would think there are so many cool rando stuff available?

Edit not sure if it’s actually true 3 or 3 roll to 2 where seller just button them all

Haven’t worn a suit in probably a year or more, but one of my girlfriends won bottle service at a club for her birthday and I couldn’t say no. Suit is a Sammy in wool/silk/linen in a diamond pattern, shirt is beams rayon and boots are vtg Justin roper cowboys boots, because Colorado. First time wear all three items but I think they all played well with each other. Feedback from my friends was positive too. Sorry for my dirty mirror.

That sounds suspicious. Why on earth would one not give measurements?

I'm suspicious of anyone asking for measurements on ebay, especially if the garment is a standard size. 90% of the time, the person asking this question doesn't buy it. The other 10% has me concerned that if I tell them the shoulders measure 17", they will find it actually measures 17.1" and was therefore "misrepresented."

I get the "misrepresented" issue. There are so many jerks on that platform.

Most of the listings, roughly 90% of the ones that I am interested in, have measurements. If there aren't any and they are clothing, I will usually ask. No one has ever responded that they wouldn't send the measurements. It's difficult to buy something, especially if they have a no return policy, without measurements.

Agree. If anything, not putting measurements (and then not answering) makes me feel like that the seller will not only not be a good trading partner but that there is something off. Even if I reaaaaaally want the item I will skip it. Scarily enough, I have been buying and selling on eBay since 1998 iirc and that has been pretty fundamental to me.

Edit: I have no problem with people asking questions, "kicking the tyres", so to speak. Part of doing business.
Not equivalent to the occasional "I am a veteran of the robot wars on terror, missing three legs and want this for free" messages I would get.

 

[clee1982]

well, I'm right in between S and R, so without BOC/Sleeve kind just no go for me, i also have got burned in the past of assuming "standard" measurements and turn out the guy alter the heck out of it

Alright, so how does one find these cool things? I'm not familiar with this.

I'd love a procedural breakdown
