Clearly does not have sound judgement - that suit is dreadful, coat too short and too tight for a start.
I agree but that is pretty common these days, a lot. the too short, too tight look is big with the skinny young crowd. There is a whole section in the "off the rack" suit stores just for the slim look to achieve this look. I don't get it either, but who I to say?

Anyone with actual experience with Dragon Inside suits? I am very interested to see a forum member post a review. I was thinking about purchasing one of their full canvass offerings.

I recently tried them out. I was drawn in by the full canvas and many options available for the price. Overall, it was an OK experience but I'm most likely going to go back to doing MTM in person

The measuring takes time but DI was good about making me double check certain ones, and they were right most of the time. Pants came out very nicely. Suit jacket is a bit tight, there's some pulling/bunching in the front high enough on the chest that my local tailor said there wasn't much she could do about it. It's not way off mind you, but it does give me some pause. I decided just to keep it instead of sending back. Maybe I should rethink that as it was just a few weeks ago. On the fence.

The fabric was decent but nothing to write home about. For the money it wasn't a bad experience but not perfect either.

Hi, first post, woo hoo. I'm getting married this year and only have about ÂŁ500 to spend on my suit. Is Dragon inside a sensible option or with this amount of money to spend am i just better buying off the rack? Keen to know Tigerpac opinion on this having real experience.

thanks

I think a lot of it depends on how you fit OTR. If your tailor only needs to tweak it for a great fit then go OTR. If you're sort of an in-between or hard to tailor size then its worth a shot.

I'm a 45R, so I have to buy the wrong size OTR - ends up not working out as well as MTM for me, but that might be different in your case.

Who do you use for your MTM suits? Trying to find some good options in the Washington, DC market. I have one from Enzo that I like, but wanted to see what else is out there.
