    I recently made a custom shirt whereby I was measured by one of their tailors. First result was a shirt that was way too narrow in the waist. The tailor checked the measurements and it was made to the right specifications, but after comparing we saw that the issue basically was that the darts...

    CAVOUR Official Community - Discuss Tailoring, Shirting, Shoes & More - Official Affiliate Thread

    Are you considering another run of long size jackets? The fact that it was sold out so quickly does show there is a strong demand for it. Anybody experience with lengthening the sleeves of a blazer? Understood from their customer service there is sufficient material to extend about 2-3cm...

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    Looking for some advice on new loafers. Tried today the C&J Harvard 2 in dark brown suede, but couldn’t decide due to sizing. I went into the shop after quite a long walk, about 20k steps in 25+ degrees, so I assume my feet were a bit more swollen compared to a typical office day. In 10.5 the...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

    Gents, interested to hear your opinion on this. I own two watches, the latest model DJ36 with jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel, and a speedy pro. Both love them and no interest to sell them. However last summer I’ve also gotten an Apple Watch as a gift, which now takes most of the time on my...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Any of you guys experiencing slow order processing? I've put in an order on the 7th of April for a shirt in lustrous fine white, based on a pattern with small adjustments from previous order. According to the website the fabric is in stock, and from other users in this forum I've seen really...

    Do you receive track and trace when a package is shipped? Placed order on 30 December '15, and saw that my shirt for replication was received on 6th of January. Wondering if I will receive some sort of notification when my order is in transit.

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Yes I will wait for the recommendations by Luxire. Waist doesn't feel very tight actually, but this cloth is also quite stiff so it doesn't drape at all, I think that also contributes to the creases at the back. Nevertheless I will take it into consideration, an additional cm couldn't hurt I...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I'm going to order my first shirt at Luxire soon. I will send in an old shirt which will be the base, but with some alterations to it. New shirt will be sky blue oxford with broke & bespoke collar. See pictures below for the fit. What alterations would you guys suggest? The yoke is definitely...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Received a pair of Double monks on the Elton last. Not sure if I'll keep them, they felt a bit roomy when I just tried them on for a minute. I'm afraid they will definitely be too large when they're broken in. I'm wearing the same size in hiro last which fits perfectly though. Anyone else...

    To which item are you referring? The double breasted overcoat or the Havana jacket?

    Poor man's watch thread

     Not a solution, it's not the band that is rattling, it's inside the watch unfortunately.

    Poor man's watch thread

    Lately sometimes I'm getting a bit annoyed by the rattling of my Ray, doubting whether I should buy a SKX007. Dial of the Ray is still awesome under certain angles in sunlight.

    I'm not much of an expert, but I felt the cloth in the store and it was much thicker in comparison to other wool blends....?

    I'll likely order this one. First time to try a Havana, not too sure about the unstructured construction as I have a bit sloped shoulders. Was also considering a Washington, of which I enjoy the structured shoulders very much, but I really dislike the wide peaked lapels for a casual jacket.

    Any opinions on this new Jort raincoat/Mackintosh? Tried the camel overcoat a few weeks ago, but sleeves were way too short. Might try this coat to see if it fits, I like the look but not sure yet if it is worth the €500.

    In addition to the above: I find that the overcoats in L size are in harmony with the rest of their product portfolio. When you wear L sized SS shirt the sleeves will extend beyond their L size overcoats. Don't know if this also is valid with regular sizes, but at least for the L sizes I don't...

    Ugh, went again to the store earlier this week to fit the camel overcoat. Unfortunately sleeve length was too short, despite it being a length size. To match shirt length the coat sleeves should be lengthened by approx. 3cm, while according to the sales rep the maximum is 1.5cm. This way my...

     Thanks. Come to remember that the 54 had pretty wide armholes, but maybe that is not the case for the 106. Anyway I'll head back to the store and try them again, also need to enquire costs of tailoring the 106.

    Suitsupply NYC

    Do any of you guys have experience with tailoring overcoats? I was in the suitsupply store this week to try the camel overcoat (beautiful coat imo). Tried the EU 102 which fitted really nice, though slightly narrow in the upper back and shoulder width (while wearing a Napoli 102 jacket beneath...
