A few notes.
I have seen the MG label from time to time, often for MTM stuff.
Don't know where it's sold at retail.
MG is like any other manufacturer, and can make within a wide range of specs -- how much hand tailoring, for instance.
Re sizing: a lot of standard tailored clothing in this country is sized big enough to fit, or cover, just about everybody. a size 40 will have a 44" chest, for ex. More fashiony brands will have a measure of 42" or even 40". The Gilt designer here is one of their higher end fashion buyers, so he'll do something more along the lines of rag&bone than BB Golden Fleece, to name to MG made tailored clothing lines.
I suspect MG wants to keep the factory running but doesn't want to make anything so badly that it would degrade the MG brand.
Still, since it was made to sell at these prices, it could be lacking the stuff that only we miss.
You get what you pay for.
