High-rise flat front trousers
Suitsupply MTM starts at $199 for trousers and delivers in 2-3 weeks. That's similar pricing to RTW for many other brands if you can wait a few weeks.- lexxdeleon

Bespoke in Los Angeles
Alright guys, so here's a few photos from my first basted fitting with Peter at Tam Tailor. As a side note, I was previously an MTM specialist with Suitsupply - so I know a little about fit. The good news is the make and process really is bespoke and you can see much of the handwork on the...- lexxdeleon

Bespoke in Los Angeles
There's a good amount of books to browse through, but I'm not sure how many of those are actually current and have a healthy amount of fabrics actually in stock. I was browsing a few where many were marked OOS and must've been previous seasons/collections. When I asked Peter for a medium gray...- lexxdeleon

Bespoke in Los Angeles
Just a quick update on Tam Tailor - the original owner actually passed away a few months ago :( He was my go to alterations guy for years and I also had some daks tab trousers made up that turned out very well a little while ago. This dinky little shop has private labelled for many high-end...- lexxdeleon

Bespoke in Los Angeles
If you have the chance, that would be great to clarify with David whenever you talk to him next. There isn't a lot of info for LA bespoke tailors so I'm sure some people will search later on and find this thread helpful. Jacket's being made in shop and shirts/pants off site in LA makes sense to...- lexxdeleon

Bespoke in Los Angeles
I don't believe that this is still true. Heard this from a friend who uses the same shop who cuts/sews for HS, which is still located in Los Angeles though.- lexxdeleon

Sleeve Length Question
I was taught and always believed that showing a little shirt cuff (in my case 1cm preference) was born out of function a long time ago. Back in the 1800's? - shirts were simply viewed as underwear, things that got dirty and helped protect the jacket from becoming soiled too quickly from our own...- lexxdeleon

Trouser break and cuffs for shorter man?
I'm a slim 5'7" and have experimented with various cuff sizes, but find I keep going back to 2 inches with no break when wearing loafers which is the footwear I spend most my time in. I've tried a 1" short cuff with more casual cotton trousers/chino's and I do kinda like that on very casual...- lexxdeleon

Epaulet Custom Shirts by Individualized
Here's one, probably should have worn another shirt though since I've put on 10-15lbs since this shirt was measured/made and it wasn't exactly freshly pressed. But the main issue is the fold lines running from the armpit towards the collar/neck. For this maker the shoulders were lowered a...- lexxdeleon

Epaulet Custom Shirts by Individualized
Not the greatest photo and I get this on both sides. I also have very sloped shoulders which doesn't help.- lexxdeleon

Epaulet Custom Shirts by Individualized
Are you able to adjust your shirts for forward shoulders? I always get folds that run from the armpit toward the neckline even on made-to-measure shirts I've tried.- lexxdeleon

Suit Supply Small Sizes
I know this is an older post, but wanted to chime in since I use to work at Susu and happen to wear these sizes. They typically did not carry anything in-store in a size 32R (maybe at the larger flagship stores) at the time when I worked there in 2018ish. Very very few 32R are produced, less...- lexxdeleon

The Made-to-Measure Thread
Suitsupply is another option without minimums. You could get measured in person and I believe their MTM shirts start at $99 now.- lexxdeleon

Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy
There are almost always cheaper ways to get things done. I'd compare this to getting your car serviced at the dealership vs an independent shop, the dealership/OEM will always be more expensive. EG's refurbishment cost seems reasonable given the retail price of their shoes - its similar to Allen...- lexxdeleon
