We're soft launching it this week but still a number of bugs to squash !

It's actually responsive (same site but layout adapts to your screen size). Try resizing your desktop browser window to a smaller size and you'll understand what I mean :)

We're also soft launching and debugging our Best Fit module. I see some of you guys have started to save their garment measurements in there. That will be a useful function

I noticed the Best Fit module earlier this week. Will it eventually tie in to previous purchases so that it can make recommendations based on them?

Back to Formosa for a moment, I wonder if someone with larger bone structure carries the extra drape a bit better (@stitchy)? I am somewhat smaller boned with a medium build at best ( yes, I know gdl203 said most folks would benefit from additional drape...). I suppose there's not enough time to get a suit shipped out for trial fit prior to placing SFxNMWAxFormosa order? Seems like a bit of a crapshoot otherwise.

OT- another shout out to NMWA's stellar customer service. Had a structural failure occur recently on a garment (metal button pulled right through knit jacket simply in the act of unbuttoning it), the result of which for all intents and purposes might appear to be user generated damage. Although I was willing to try to have the repair made myself, Greg simply had me return it no questions asked, and sent me a replacement in kind a few days later.

The level of trust and commitment to customer satisfaction is most appreciated. Thanks guys!

-Another Happy NMWA Customer

We may add that functionality in the future. That's a good idea.

In the mean time, it requires a little bit of effort and time on the user's part to save his best fitting garments once - and then use them as benchmark going forward.

@AJL one can look good in a drape cut, and also like to wear a leaner jacket at other occasions. I don't believe that there's necessarily a binary choice to be made. I see great looking fits here on the same people wearing different bespoke styles/tailors, etc... Nothing wrong with trying and enjoying different tailoring styles without committing 100% to one.

First try on...this is a 50...my first was a 52, but I shrunk a bit. I'd say it's pushing it length wise, but it covers my arse just fine. Other than hemming the pants and adding button cuffs, the fit is perfect...IMO. Thoughts?

@Murlsquirl I think it looks great, though on the leaner side of the lean vs drape discussion. Even the sleeves...?? Curse you!

Would like to see the whole deal w/o you holding the camera.

Just scrolled up again and maybe the body is just a smidge short (which might be partially affected by holding that dang camera)

First project is a Drakes x No Man Special Edition tie. Three deadstock fabrics from the vaults of Drakes - go and vote for one (or two, or 3) and the winner will be made and sold on the site.

If #1 doesn't make it as a tie, could you get it made as a pocket square? (But it should win as the tie.)

Looks great, Murl. You should be able to lengthen a bit if you want.


Great, I was looking forward to your opinion. No one around here I would trust with a lengthening job so it stays as is. I'm happy with it. I like that I one of each...a fuller 52 and this one that is much leaner.
