    Management consulting wardrobe

    Didn't realize you were in Japan, so you'll have to see for yourself what the norm is. The last thing you need is the client and their employees becoming envious of you, so just keep that in mind.

    Management consulting wardrobe

    Very rarely do people in management consulting wear ties, except in the health care provider and financial services industries. Try to dress on the same "formal-ness" scale as your colleagues, especially if you are on client site a lot. You do not want employees of the client to think of you as...

    Briefcase for a young professional?

    Hi everyone. I'm looking to purchase a new briefcase and would like some advice. I'm a young professional in a client-facing business job, so I'm looking for something that is nice and timeless but not overly formal or ostentatious. Wants: 1) At least 3.5" to 4" deep. (I typically carry a...

    Indochino suits?

    For what it's worth: I've tried Indochino's suits, going through one remake cycle before asking for a refund. Unfortunately with the button stance being so high it became clear it was never going to look good. I also tried Black Lapel at the same time and ended up with a suit that fits quite...

    Indochino suits?

     I don't understand why they can't use the one button pattern for the two button suit and just add the second button below the first. Have you tried Black Lapel at all?

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

     From my experience, there is usually some fabric to let out at the seat but rarely any to let out at the thighs unless you specifically requested extra fabric on the side seams (on a bespoke or MTM garment). Best way to tell is just look inside the pants and see if there is any extra fabric.

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Thoughts on my Black Lapel jacket? Things I noticed: 1. The way the shoulders are constructed/padded is causing bulges where my trapezius muscles are (I have prominent traps). It's more apparent on the back view. I'm not sure if they can fix this on the next one, but I'll ask. 2. Back needs to...

    Indochino suits?

    They really need to fix the button stance. I realize a one-button suit would have the optimal button stance, but unfortunately one-button suits are not acceptable in a business setting for someone in an entry-level position.

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

     WAY too big. You may need to go the made to measure or bespoke route.

    Indochino suits?

     You can also see if they can use a separate half back measurement. If your shoulders are rotated forward it will cause tightness across the upper back.

    BlackLapel.com - any experience with them?

     If you're going to post such a strong opinion, it would be nice if you included details to support your points.

    Indochino suits?

     Just got my "essential gray" remake today and have a similar issue, though only on one button. The front top button has a fairly thick/prominent white line going through it. At first glance it looks like the button is cracked or broken, but it's just a discoloration. Definitely plan on...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

     Based on the direction of pulling, it looks like the shoulder needs to be cut more square. evpj2L, try forcing your shoulders down a bit to see if that alleviates some of that pulling. See here. Get a tailor's advice too (I am not one).
