    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Question regarding shoulder fit issue, specifically right side shoulder. There is an odd imperfection in my right shoulder, highlighted below. It has the effect of making shoulders uneven. This is a bespoke coat from a Savile Row trained tailor. I have even shoulders, and I’ve never had issues...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Has anyone noticed the buttonholes on OTR shirts are much better than the custom order shirts? I have both and find the OTR shirt buttonholes are cut and sewn and easy to use whereas the custom order shirt buttonholes seem to be made from a lower grade buttonhole machine i.e. buttonholes are...

    Steam clean and dry clean, How often?

    @dieworkwear Have you used RAVE Fabricare in AZ that everyone here talks about. I would have to send by mail. They don't have exact pricing on their website, but I'm curious what a ballpark estimate would be for SCs, trousers, suits, etc.

    Steam clean and dry clean, How often?

    Second everything said here. I have ruined a suit by using a handheld steamer. It will knock the wrinkles out, but it will cause seams to pucker and otherwise mess up the shape of the jacket that was pressed into it when it was created. However, this can be fixed by simply having the jacket...

    I had a very good experience overall. I got measured by Aaron in-person at their NYC shop. They have you try on one of their OTR jackets and work off that pattern. I didn’t require too many major changes from the OTR pattern, which was probably helpful. Definitly worthwhile to get measured and...

Standard KW shoulder and canvass, hacking pockets with ticket pocket, standard/low gorge notch 9.2 cm lapels, fully lined. Wanted to make a good winter SC with English...

    Wanted to share with you all an online MTM suit order from Oliver Wicks. VBC 130s dark navy, full canvass construction. My first and last foray into online MTM.

    Huntsman OTR is around 1.5-2k. If you can get it at their NYC store with complementary alterations, pretty good deal.

    If I did this, I’d buy from the Huntsman NYC store in-person. They offer free alterations I believe. I agree that online would be too much of a hassle.

    The quality of this suit is about the same as Spier & Mackay—maybe worse actually. S&M canvass gives better structure. I’ve been staying away from the big name brands like Canali and HF. Spier & Mackay offers incredible value, especially their new premium line (full canvass, Milanese buttonhole...

    I need the trouser alterations b/c they’re so dam slim that they catch on my socks. But yeah, this is a good casual leaning suit. Neapolitan soft tailoring is great for this.

    The Official-ish DC Thread

    Fully agree with you. Ordered this before joining SF a year ago. I think I paid around $1200. Trousers need to be let out. They are in fact stupidly tight. Jacket fits well, lapels have a natural curve to them, it’s not pulling (as it was before alterations). But yes, I agree jacket is probably...

    I realized I never followed up on my second suit with Brimble & Clark. Placed the order before getting SF’s feedback on the first one. I think this second one is better after alterations. Only downside is trousers are too tapered. Fabric is VBC Super 110s. Half canvass, notch lapel, 2 button...
