    Question about chan

    Thanks Kai. I appreciate your thoughtful responses. As you mentioned, I have fluctuations in my weight/shape based on how many hours I'm in the office versus hours exercising as well as what kind of exercise I'm engaging in. I hate having a suit that is so fitted that it becomes either too tight...

    Question about chan

    Kai, how would characterize the fit of your Chan suits versus Raphael? You mentioned that the vest is a best more fitted on the Chan than on the Raphael. Does the suit made by Chan also feel a bit closer to the body with 'less room to grow'? I'm considering getting Chan to make me a suit but...

    Question about chan

    Kai, you said that WW Chan's quality is good but perhaps not on par with Kiton and Oxxford. What firm's quality would you say is closest to that which WW Chan produces (Hickey-Freeman, Samuelsohn, Marting Greenfield, Gianluca Isaia, Zegna, etc)? Are there any areas of the suit you found to be a...

    Mtm versus custom suits in nyc

    Mtm versus custom suits in nyc

    I have some MTM Oxxford suits that are worn on occassion. For day-to-day wear I have MTM from Martin Greenfield, Hickey-Freeman and others. I also have some custom from some smaller tailors who most likely sent the work to one of the "custom factories". As I need to replace some older...

    Ascot chang, geneva, paris, gluck, kabbaz?

    I have ordered custom shirts from Sulka, Turnbull & Asser, Hilditch & Key, Ascot Chang and several others. Some have been better than others. Ascot Chang has proven the most reliable in terms of both fit and attention to detail but I'm looking for something with a bit more of an English...
