It's your own fault for having good taste!

Remember, one grey cashmere tie is booked

It took me a full 2 weeks to get it pressed, tailored and seek advice from many users on this forum (thanks to you all).

1. Did you have to take the suit some where special to get it pressed or Dry Cleaned?? I am a bit worried about taking my suit to just anybody I would rather have a recomendation for my area ( which Is Monavale Northern Beaches )

 

P.S Did you notice that the original measurement form didn't have a measurement for jacket waist!?

2. No I did not notice, as I took the forms to a Tailor and he measured me up as to what was on the forms.

 

I could post pictures up, but they aren't good. Prof B, Charlie, Wraith have all seen different versions.

3.Are those the same photos that are on the Elite thread?? ( which were OK )

Thanks for your input Michael

A dry cleaner would definitely have a 'press only' service. If they are busy they'll be doing 150 pressed garments per day. This is what a dry cleaners just around the corner from my house does. It isn't a complicated process and isn't risky. For a suit, shirt and pants it cost me $11 to get pressed. Try on the suit before getting pressed.

If your tailor didn't berate to you the dangers of buying MTM online for the 20 minutes he was measuring you, then you definitely got of light-handed. When my suit arrived: the seat shape was too big (not a measurement), pants were too long, jacket waist and hips were too big. I think the tailor deliberately made these big to be on the 'safe side'. The shirt also had to come in at the waist. $110 of alterations all up, covered by Elite. Everything else, was fine (except I would prefer a lower button stance, tapered legs and a slightly better sleeve pitch).

The photos on the affiliate thread aren't mine. I don't have a proper camera so the photos are blurry as crap. I can PM you them if you like?

Overall Simon has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. I am sure the suit is decent and I was just having a down day a few ones back.

If you "like that sort of thing" why not go Drizabone - even then if you aren't on a farm why?

There's something I find elegant but more on the 'manly-man' side of clothing about Barbour :)
