    Upcoming San Francisco Trunk Shows

    Bespoke glasses?! Now that's interesting! Could you share some details? Pricing, turnaround time, number of fittings, etc.

    Upcoming San Francisco Trunk Shows

    I visited Epaulet’s trunk show yesterday and had an amazing experience working with Eva and Jim. I can’t yet speak to the quality of their MTM shirts, but as professionals and human beings they were absolutely delightful!

    Upcoming San Francisco Trunk Shows

    Apologies, I read through the thread but clearly missed your reply. Thanks for the clarification! In that case, it sounds like the timeline would be July initial, September partial construction fitting, December second fitting, and...March final + delivery?

    Upcoming San Francisco Trunk Shows

    What is Solito's bespoke process like? I've done single measurement MTM before with mixed results, for $3K+ bespoke I'm not sure I feel comfortable in anyone's ability to get a suit right with zero fittings. Or is this an AC-like system with a year's wait between measurement and first fitting?

    spoon tailor -hong kong bespoke operation in San Francisco

     Your reply was for a different poster, but this seems like a good spot to jump in: I've recently moved to San Francisco. I've had some suits made in the past, but I definitely don't know what I'm doingl I know just enough to be dangerous. :D So here's a shout-out to any SF folk in SF...

    Manila Tailor

    Today was my first fitting. I told Cornell that the trouser front is too tight, and that there's too much material on the sleeves. The next fitting is tomorrow, and the final one the day after. I'll post a vest photo after tomorrow's fitting. I will also have my jeans from Jay, assuming that...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    I'm having trousers, shirts, and a vest made right now. Apologies for the shoes and lack of belt. Today was my first fitting. I told my tailor that the trouser front is too tight, and that there's too much material on the sleeves. The next fitting is tomorrow, and the final one the day after...

    Manila Tailor

     Having literally just returned from seeing him, I can say he's at >. Jay is young (26) but sounds like he knows what he's doing. I'll post photos of the jeans he's making for me when they're complete. Bad news at Cornell's - they can't do a fully canvassed jacket in 9 days. I'm getting...

    Manila Tailor

    I stopped in to both Cornell's and Glenmore today. I exchanged a few emails with Adam at Glenmore, but he wasn't at the store this afternoon. The staff there didn't speak a lot of English, so I wasn't able to do much more than have my measurements taken and put down a deposit. Leather and...

    Manila Tailor

    Does Cornell's have an email address? I'd like to email them to determine pricing so I can compare pricing to BB's guy (themanilahaberdasher.tumblr.com) before my arrival on Thursday. How does the quality compare?

    Manila Tailor

    Hey guys, this thread rocks! I'm flying to Manilla in a few days and would love to have some new clothes made. I'm on a world tour, and a change of plans has me returning to Europe instead of continuing my travels through Asia, so I won't have a chance to have things made elsewhere. Eleven...

    MyTailor and TaT comparison

    Both are bad. How is it that the TaT was made based on the MyTailor measurements? The MT's quarters are too short. The lapels are all off. That's a question for Jason. I know he's on SF, perhaps he'll reply. Yes, I had my suits dry cleaned. I don't understand this objection. Who doesn't get...

    MyTailor and TaT comparison

    Whats with the uneven lapels on the 3 piece? Pretty sure they were pressed unevenly. I'd like to think I would have noticed that myself by now if it were a problem with the construction.

    MyTailor and TaT comparison

    the My Tailor suit fits bad and the fact that he thinks nothing needs to be done to it is even worse. What would you change?

    MyTailor and TaT comparison

    Why are you sticking your butt out? Do you normally stand like that or is that pose only for us? D'oh. Probably should have set a longer camera timer so I could relax after positioning myself.

    MyTailor and TaT comparison

    Which suit is from which tailor? The 3-piece is from MyTailor. TaT only makes 2-piece suits.

    MyTailor and TaT comparison

    Thanks to SF, I'm hooked on custom clothing. I've purchased a suit and pair of shirts from MyTailor, and a suit from Thick as Thieves. Pictures: Edit: I'm pretty sure the right lapel is off because of my cleaners, not due to the suit's construction. All clothing freshly dry cleaned, and worn...

    Which poses needed for MTM critique?

    Are you sure you want a critique? If you like what you see in the mirror and love wearing it, isn't that good enough? I was thinking of posting mine, but I could not live with the critiscms, because it would mean I just blew thousands of dollars. I absolutely want a critique! I just spent, say...

    Which poses needed for MTM critique?

    I've recently dived into making over my wardrobe. I have a MyTailor suit and two of their shirts, and a TaT suit on the way. I'm getting ready to send one of my shirts in to Jantzen, and I have a second appointment with MyTailor coming up soon. Before I go completely crazy, I'd like feedback...
