You get what you pay for. OP, take em to small claims court, chalk it up to shitty business practices, thanks for the warning. I find it amusing that you're bitching about $200 for a SUIT, when that's about what many spend on MTM or even bespoke SHIRTS, not to mention trousers and jackets... Personally, if you're going MTM, you need to push it up to around $600-800 just to get started with something decent by a company who stands behind their product. However, I don't have a whole lot of experience in actual suits, just shirts, and this is based on reading/talking with other people. If you want $200 suit, head to Menswearhouse and get something they can alter in store for you and you can see problems/flaws in person rather than deal with someone over the internet in a different country.

OP, you are not going to find a single credible person on this forum that believes $200 can buy you a decent MTM suit. You are welcome to complain about itailor to your heart's content, but no one listening to your rant here was ever going to buy from them anyway, so it's not a very effective strategy for hurting their sales, which I assume is your goal in taking to the interwebs to criticize them.

So.. OP was a troll?

And I don't see much of a mess, maybe a dogpile, but frankly, the advice given is easily summed as:
You get what you pay for.
Open your eyes (and your wallet) a bit and you'll find that your expectations are more easily met
$200 for a MTM suit, unless you happen to be in-country and working directly with the tailors is a bit of a stretch to expect quality, much less good customer service.

It doesn't even have to relate to clothing. But you're discussing a $200 MTM suit (which makes me wonder if this should be over in menswear anyway) with many folks who also buy online MTM items, including myself. I'm happy that you posted your negative experience with itailor, even though I'm not sure I'd actually have bought from them in the first place (I would probabaly go with mytailor.com (since I've already worked out my sizing for shirts) or if I were typical SF-sized, Thick as Thieves). Expect to pay more than $200, either way. If you want a cheap suit, then RTW or thrifting is going to be your best bet. But if itailor sucks for you, why not try moderntailor? mytailor? there's a bunch of online MTM places to take your business to and who knows, maybe you can get something great for cheap.

what the fuck?

I liked this.

On the plus side, all this talking about RAMZ and CPUZ and INTERTUBES got me a job that pays well enough to buy a real fucking suit.

I give this bit of trolling a C-. Poor effort overall by gregorygrant, though it showed some future potential.

The good points:

• Seemed possibly sincere and simply in need of education - even had me doubting his trolling by the end
• Managed to get a few responses - lots of threads by first-time posters fall off the front page without a reply

The weak points:

• Posted in the wrong forum - MC might have gotten a better response
• Revealed his hand too early - third post? Really?
• Didn't push the trolling nearly enough - there were so many great places he could have gone with this foundation
• Claimed victory before he had even scored a point - really that last post is just sad. A mess? Tech donkeys? Tsk, tsk. A thread needs at least 100 posts to be considered a mess, and the insult seems sort of like trying to insult Star Trek fans by telling them they spend too much time in the gym... it doesn't even make sense.

Hopefully he lurks moar, learns from some of our more esteemed trolls, and then comes back to try again. I have high hopes...

Please, tell me more.

Call your credit card company and tell them you were ripped off.
That's what they're there for.

I did, it's just black. Not paid their website bill, they ceased trading, problem with the site?

Perhaps they put their customer's money into the website and not into making good suits?

Who says?

I think you just did, thank you.

Sounds like you had a pretty poor experience, sorry about that. I did however read with great interest - I work for a company that's currently putting together a site with reviews for online tailors so would be keen to get a review together for iTailor. Will let you all know how it goes.
