congratulations man. good luck with the endeavor!!

That Blazersuit looks great!

Thanks!

Here is some info for anyone interested in the MTM program:

I currently sell suits and sportcoats in the NY/NJ area (and in Los Angeles every few months). I have a wide variety of cloth from mills such as Guabello, Reda, Ariston, Loro Piana, VBC, etc.

The price for MTM suits starts at $650 for standard make (similar to Canali or Hickey Freeman) and $850 for hand made (nicer than Isaia, very close to RLPL). The suits in the galleries are all hand made. I'll post some pictures of a standard make suit soon.

I've sold suits in all price ranges but most tend to be around $995 - $1100 because people wisely choose the hand-made model with Italian fabrics. There is definitely cheaper MTM out there but one would be very hard pressed to find similar quality and workmanship in this price range.

I have three galleries of suit pictures linked in my signature.

+1 Looks awesome

For the MTM, are you doing the measurements in person?

Great shoes Andrew. You mention you're doing pre-orders; when do the shoes ship? And when do the prices go up?

Thanks!

Yessir. I can also copy a suit but it is not the same.


Thanks! The prices will go to where they should be when the shoes arrive. The benchgrade shoes will be here in about a month. The handgrade shoes will be here in late August.

do you have linens?

Also do you do 3 pieces?

I don't want to travel to NY/LA though sending online measurements hopefully ok

how does one order that blazersuit? do u ship internationally?

I really like the black and dark brown calf Benchgrade Oxfords. At that price point, they compete with the Meermin classic, Loake 1880s and AE. It will be good when people have the opportunity to order and wear the shoe to provide a comparison against other shoes which sit within that price tier.

 

For work, I will probably stick to low-end tier i.e. £200. The difficulty at this price range is finding a shoe that isn't too traditional, chunky or black in a last that I like. The dark brown calf Benchgrade Oxfords help alleviate this problem, alongside the AE Cliftons.

 

All the best with your new venture!
 

I opened up the double monk in one tab because I was curious, and the bal boot in another because I'm interested in buying. When I saw the double monk had half rubber soles, I was disappointed to see that the bal boot doesn't! Any chance of getting this sole on the boot?

 

I can do a special order with Dainite or a Diamond rubber sole if there is enough interest.

This half lined summer sportcoat just arrived for a Styleforum customer. I am really happy with how it turned out. (My nerdy favorite part is the perfect chest pocket.)

Hand made. 75% wool, 25% linen. 250 gram. Half lined. Narrow lapels. Patch pockets.
