    Germanicos- Bespoke Suits

     I mentioned that I got their top shelf suit, and had a pattern and toile made which had 2 fittings before anything was stitched, Patterns were tweaked and after the suit was stitched there was another fitting with minor tweaks to get it 100% and to also add the sleeves, this all took place...

    Germanicos- Bespoke Suits

    Hahaha, Shane I never knew we were mates or Shills, I don't even know what the hell u look like or what a shill was either! The librarian is full of theoretical BS, I told the (Shill of another tailor) Librarian that I had a calico pattern made for my body and had many fittings with calico and...

    Germanicos- Bespoke Suits

    Yes I have seen their workroom in Melbourne, like I have mentioned earlier, maybe you didn't read my post correctly or you just like to undermine peoples posts who are not yet a senior member like you librarian. Don't quite know what you mean by Shill?

    Germanicos- Bespoke Suits

    Actually Sam must be the new guy as I have been dealing with Chris and John for quite some time now. I know John from the Melbourne office is an amazing bloke who achieves results and he will make sure everything is fine.

    The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

    Definitely send me a message when the event is on and I'll come down to show you the suit in person. you mention in your post "I think the rules are slightly relaxed for odd jacketing c/w suiting" . This is acceptable for a mediocre Tailor or Made to measure tailor. A good bespoke tailor...

    Germanicos- Bespoke Suits

    Shane you made a good choice, I am sure you will be impressed and look great in your first bespoke suit with Germanicos. I've had it done with them, it definitely is bespoke contrary to what our librarian friend who has never been in their workroom, or had a suit from there assumes. Im not...

    The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

    my observation is that the jacket is at the longest end of acceptable & the jacket sleeves are at the shorter end of acceptable. Both are fine, but with a longer jacket and shorter sleeves it doesn't look good in my eyes. I would bring up the length of jacket about 0.5" to 1" and then keep...

    Germanicos- Bespoke Suits

    If you went to "About us" page on the website you can see some information about Portugal : http://www.tailor.com.au/about-germanicos-tailors In regards to my suit, they done a "toile" fitting with me out of calico fabric. They took my measurements, then made a toile, then adjusted the toile 3...

    Germanicos- Bespoke Suits

    The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

    They would be within acceptable tolerances if the jacket length was shorter. For sleeves to be that length the jacket length should also fall a little above the crotch. Because the jacket length is more traditional it looks very out of proportion, I am a perfectionist though so I am talking no...

    You're sleeves look too short, do the jacket sleeve buttons work or fake?

    Cool Shoes, Paraphernalia & Desiderata - Part II

    Anyone know of any good shoe tailors based here in Australia, and not coming on trunk shows from UK etc etc? Also if you do know let me know roughly how long they took to make from start to finish? I am really keen on getting a pair to match my new Germanicos Bespoke Suit..

    Germanicos- Bespoke Suits

    Hey Shane I bought a silver suit back in March from Germanicos and had a great experience. Good blokes to work with enjoyable experience, It wears great and the fabric was navy Italian 120's wool, best suit I've had by far. The difference when you go to gold or platinum is in the quality of...
