I don't have a problem with CMT, but not on a first suit. Only after a suit has been made that is to your liking, then CMT will be considered.

Okay, thanks for the information. I was thinking about ordering a charcoal suit from you first anyway, or perhaps in that nailhead.

CMT stands for Cut Make Trim, which is really a silly acronym.

Just paid for my first TaT this morning... eagerly awaiting the results.

I went with a one button black peak lapel, and asked Jason to give me "orange or neon yellow or something else suitably garish" for the lining. I can't wait to see what he comes up with.

For reference, even after the weight loss, I still think of myself as a big guy, although now that I wear a 44R suit, I probably shouldn't. I pointed all this out and am interested to see how the slim profile looks on me.

MAKE IT BE THREE WEEKS FROM NOW ALREADY, DAMNIT!

It is a very minimalistic design that works in terms of usuability as it is very obvious. All it needs is the eCommerce aspect adn then you're there.

Off-topic, but I'm the same way; I'm a 40R/L and still think of myself as a big guy. I guess it's hard to forget being 270lbs.

I'm a 44R as well, and will probably be putting in my first order soon. We can be co-guinea pigs.

Well, I used to be 350 pounds, man. I'm down to 210 as of that photo.

Let's put it this way: 19.5" neck, size 56R suit, 46-48" pants size (not worn at waist).

Jesus Christ I've come a long way... part of the reason I'm so pumped to see what you come up with for me, Jason!

Just to let you know, Jason, I'm going to read this entire 83 page thread in preparation for commissioning a suit once my paycheck comes in...
PS: the shoes arrived today and they are a beauty to behold!

Ever considered making dinner jackets/tuxedos Get Smart? I think the TaT style of suits would lead to some really interesting results in terms of eveningwear. A slim, modern cut dinner jacket would surely sell well here?
