    The downside over at Iris is that there's no 3-way mirror there. So for those heading down to Iris for business, it's best to have a 'spotter' with you...

    Quickest fix is to add a little pad on your right shoulder. That will pick the shoulder up and remove the diagonal wrinkle. The other way is to remove the sleeve, open the shoulder, recut the shoulder, make the shoulder again and put the sleeve on. The right shoulder looks a little bumpy...

    I wouldn't do anything based on one picture. May be the way you are standing at the moment. It really isn't that bad. Sleeve length and shirt cuff look great Well, I took quite a few shots on the back and yet the puckering remains visible near the right armhole. The left is ok though. Will...

    Pls critique my 1st bespoke suit

    I think it looks pretty nice overall - but is the point where the lapels meet a bit off? The left side seems rolled quite a bit farther than the right - it feel to me like the right lapel's roll should go just a bit lower.

    AB, i wholeheartedly disagree; i wanted to bring this topic up recently as i visited my local Bally and the Scribe line has gotten alot better in quality. almost too good for its price of 795. the lasts are sleeker (imo actually comparable to JL's lasts, matter of taste still, but before it was...
