Andrew Lock - Introducing a new shoe line from a long term member - official affiliate thread - Page 19

Looks great.

Were you going for an RL Garrison fit?

you going for andrew lock suiting?

I've got my first suit pending some alterations. Will let you guys know how it goes.

For those of you who have gotten MTM suits from Andrew Lock, how long did it take from the day you gave your measurements and finalized everything to the day it arrived at your door?

around 6-7 weeks.

It takes about five weeks when I do the measurements in person (which I highly prefer).

Please do! Very interested to know what you think!

Bid today on a pair of Andrew Lock benchgrade shoes and a choice of any two ties. All proceeds go to the Style Forum Annual Holiday Drive, this year for the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Choose from sizes 7.5 - 13 D. (Smaller sizes available early 2013).

Very clean Andrew, great work!  How much flexibility do you give customers for styling details?  Lapel width, etc.  Do you do the buttonholes by hand?

Most things are very flexible but within limits. For example, I'll do a different color on one buttonhole but I won't do different colors on all of them. I want each garment to reflect positively on the wearer and my brand. So while I am happy to make a garment that I would not wear, I try to keep it in the limits of good taste. The available lapel widths are 7 cm, ~ 9 cm and 11.5 cm.

On the above suit the buttons, buttonholes, pickstitching, lining, collar, sleeves, shoulders, melton (felt), assorted trouser details, and more are sewn by hand. The curved hand sewn chest pocket is particularly nice on the suit above.

You can check out THIS album for close up photos of the hand stitched details on another of my suits.
