    OTR suits never fit my shoulders--should I go MTM (or bespoke) for my wedding?

    OK, Dragon Inside convinced me to give them a shot. I sent them that picture and they said they can definitely make a jacket that fits me. With their quick turnaround and satisfaction guarantee, I know that if they don't work out I can always return the suit and go with Spoon. A quick styling...

    Help choosing starter pocket squares

    I'm planning to buy a test suit from Dragon Inside this week, and they've offered to give me 5 free pocket squares with the purchase. I don't own any yet, so perhaps you guys can help me choose some that might be the most versatile. They're all shown here (scroll down past the ties): Accessories...

    OTR suits never fit my shoulders--should I go MTM (or bespoke) for my wedding?

    Having read through the thread on Spoon Tailoring, it sounds like they're one of my best chances for getting a suit that fits, within my budget and timeline. However, I'm a little worried about going with them because of my inexperience. Many of the people in that thread suggest that while...

    OTR suits never fit my shoulders--should I go MTM (or bespoke) for my wedding?

    Comrade, you are correct. Both Proper Suit and Beckett and Robb do a made-to-measure suit based on an initial in-person measurement session, followed by a final fitting once the suit has been made. Spoon and Jay Hampton both offer intermediary fittings with a suit that has been basted together...

    OTR suits never fit my shoulders--should I go MTM (or bespoke) for my wedding?

    Thank you guys for weighing in and suggesting these true bespoke options for me. It sounds like that might be the only way for me to find a suit that really fits me (but if there's anyone who thinks otherwise, I'd love to hear from you). I appreciate all the references/recommendations/reviews...

    OTR suits never fit my shoulders--should I go MTM (or bespoke) for my wedding?

    Thanks for the input, comrade. I'll certainly check out Spoon Tailors (and I'm in the middle of reading through the thread you linked to). Sounds like they could be a great way to go. Is it true that the MTM options don't really make changes based on fit? I know that you do get to make...

    OTR suits never fit my shoulders--should I go MTM (or bespoke) for my wedding?

    I've been shopping for a suit to wear for my wedding at the end of May (which is 10 weeks from now), and I've run into a lot of trouble. I have a slender frame with narrow, asymmetrical, sloping shoulders (upper body pic attached), and I've never been able to find an OTR jacket that fits my...

    Introduce yourself.

    Hi, I'm a late-20s student in the San Francisco bay area. My typical outfit consists of jeans, solid Ts, and converse, but I'm looking to class things up a bit. I'll be going on the job market soon, and while I'll be looking at companies with pretty laid-back cultures, I think it would be nice...
