    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Thank you! If I sized up, the pants are just going to be SO huge in the waist. They are already several inches too big. I'm going to email eHaberdasher and see what they think.

    Unbelievable shirts. The fabric is gorgeous, and the detailing is amazing. They have a nice rounded shoulder. Really fantastic shirts. Especially for the price you can get them at. God I've wasted so much money at Thomas Pink and Saks on crap. Sigh. And they are not necessarily slim at all...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Just got a Benjamin suit and like so much about it, but am not sure if the shoulder fits. It feels a bit tight. I like the way it looks but it's definitely snug. I'm a well built dude, not sure if folks think it's good enough, or should be altered, or if I should pursue MTM at Paul Stuart which...

    Bespoke vs. BB Golden Fleece

    OK, got the Benjamin suit. Wow this thing is gorgeous. Unbelievable for the price. I don't know why anyone would buy anything else for under $1K. I'm not sure it fits. It's basically great except for the shoulders which feel tight. What do you guys think? Also, got some Pino...

    Bespoke vs. BB Golden Fleece

    Spoke w/ Bruce at Paul Stuart. He thought w/ my build that MTM might be the better direction for me but really encouraged me to try out the RTW stuff first before buying anything. So I'm planning on making some time next time I'm in NYC, probably in the next month. Meanwhile, I got the...

    Bespoke vs. BB Golden Fleece

    Tooling around SF, I saw eHaberdasher sells these Benjamin Sartorial suits for like $600, full canvas construction, and fits that are supposedly slim. I'm going to add these to my list!

    Bespoke vs. BB Golden Fleece

    There is a Burberry's across from the BB here in DC, do I even bother? There's also a RL store in G'town. Either worth the $?

    Bespoke vs. BB Golden Fleece

    Yeh not sure I should tailor this, it seems like it'd mess w/ the overall proportions of the suit, and once I tailor it's mine. If it was closer to the fit I wanted I might go for tailoring but its just too boxy in the lower chest area, and I'm a well built dude, 6', 215lbs of musl...

    Bespoke vs. BB Golden Fleece

    Sounds promising. Do you wait for sales? Or are they few / far between?

    Bespoke vs. BB Golden Fleece

    Sorry, I'll look again at Paul Stuart. Are you saying their basic cut is a slim, modern fit? I'll be back up in NYC in April so will make a point of stopping by to try on their suits.

    Bespoke vs. BB Golden Fleece

    Well, I ordered the BB Golden Fleece Fitzgerald and while the fabric and construction is gorgeous, the fit isn't quite right. There's a boxiness across the lower chest that I don't love, maybe the armholes are too low for me? Anyway, I'm returning it and back to the drawing board. The basic...

    Bespoke vs. BB Golden Fleece

    Thanks, this is super helpful. I usually look find in many RTW suits so I'll stick with that. Appreciate the input! Anything else I should look at? There are a lot of nice stores here in DC, the Burberry is right across the street from BB.

    Located in DC but get to NYC every once in a while. Thanks for the PM jerry.

    Bespoke vs. BB Golden Fleece

    Oh nice, didn't know there was a sale. How long is it for, and how do I take advantage of it? Anything special?

    Bespoke vs. BB Golden Fleece

    Thanks. Any other RTW brands I should look at for 2k? I'm looking for cuts that are modern but not too slim. The Armani fit great.

    Bespoke vs. BB Golden Fleece

    Was about to buy an Armani suit and stumbled across Styleforum which caused me to pause that purchase. I'm looking for a good quality, charcoal suit and it looks like BB golden fleece is considered a nice suit for the money. I'm wondering if I should go bespoke for this price, or if in the $2K...
