Chan appt. in the AM...

sfo423 · Mar 18, 2007

I'm taking a "managed" risk...meeting Chan in the morning for a new suit and a blazer. I'll take my favorite fitting bespoke suit.

I'm having him bring the unfinished products back on his next visit for a basted fitting. I'm not in a hurry. I'd prefer a properly fitted suit and I don't see how it can be done w/no second or third fitting.

Anyone seen the new Zegna catalog? There is a great lighter gray windowpane; I think maybe molehair. Might go w/that. We'll see.

Any tips from Chan customers?

If you're already into bespoke, you probably don't need much counsel from the rest of us in dealing with Chan.

I will just say that they are wonderful people to deal with and extremely concerned with customer satisfaction.

It's very much dependent on fabric choice. The suit I ordered Friday was $1520 for a two piece. Some of the fabric books I looked at showed prices as high $2200 if I remember correctly. I think the VBCs are closer to $1000 or $1100.

Selected one of the latest Trofeo's by Zegna for the suit and blazer in taupe/brown w/blue windowpane from H&S.

Patrick was attentive and seems to have an excellent eye for detail. I had over an hour of personal time with the only interruption being my mobile phone. He made some excellent 'comments" on the custom suit I wore in, and I concurred w/his comments.

Looking forward to seeing the final product. I think the suit was about $1700 and the blazer about $900. 'oh yeah, got a shirt too.

I just got a VBC 130 for 1100.

It's a byproduct of the production of moleskin.

But the buttons are made from real moleclaws.

I would pay Chan to keep that thing away from me.

Requires three extra brushings to get all the dirt out.
