I don't think anything is wrong with asking the tailor to set in shoulder pads by hand or getting buttonholes done by hand. It's not about checking his proficiency, this is about client preference. Besides, is this what bespoke is all about? Clients should be able to ask tailors to add on...- teecube

That is true. I heard that all master tailors in Canada now is in their 70-75 years old and there is a real shortage. The tailoring trade is a dying trade now at least in Canada.- teecube

Sorry for the confusion. I would not try to convince anyone about the origin of their suits and I don't want to say bad about any business, I am just trying to explain, according to my knowledge and experience, as how to evaluate the process of making a suit. Different tailors may have a...- teecube

I saw Garrison 'bespoke' suits, no doubt that they look great ( just like Suit supply, Surmesure...) but if you tell me that you did NOT have a basted fitting , I really doubt that your suits are made locally, especially when you said garrison "facility" is near by, I would wonder why you...- teecube

Francesco Sr. pricing is out of my range (5G for a jacket), but for awhile he measured clients here and send fabrics to China to get it made, so...I am not sure if he's still doing that. Tower bespoke works at Trend? I think. So Trend is true bespoke, he's doing in house. I also heard...- teecube

I have no problem with suits that are made in China. Handwork is beautiful, cut is ok (usually have gap behind collar) , price is good. But I have problem with those scummy businesses that sell suits that are engineered and made in China but claiming they are made locally by experienced...- teecube

Everybody call themself bespoke. I am not sure who is the real thing. Definition of "bespoke " and "made to measure " seems to overlap each other- teecube

People defines "bespoke" differently. But to me when someone make you a suit without getting you try on a basted fitting ( not a muslin or a mock suit) , I think that is MTM. You cannot get a bespoke suit (fit you the way you like) unless you try on your basted garment and get it adjusted...- teecube

Oh. I may be wrong but someone told me that they also offer bespoke as well. They said they can make a bespoke suit in a week ( the only way to do it is to make it locally) Anyway I shall find out more about it. Again, thank you very much for your advise.- teecube

Now a day you're hardly see any tailor or even a cutter to get your body skin measurements and look at your posture. When you come to "tailor shop" you usually see "stylist" who will let you try on their samples and get you a MTM suit with some bell and whistles and called it a bespoke suit. I...- teecube

Yes I worried about the"name " too. But heard some good things about this shop. They are made locally right? I hate suits that made overseas and claim to be made in Canada. Bad practice !!!- teecube

Any tailor that let you try on a "muslin" or "canvas" as they called it is 100% MTM. Only when you try on a hand basted of your actual fabric ordered is considered Bespoke. And if you can decide on how wide your lapel and how low your notch can be, and even how wide the angle on your notch...- teecube

The Definitive Guide to Slim Fit Shirts
I lost good deal of weight a couple of years ago because of which I had to re-build my wardrode. While I got rid of most of my shirts back then, I did retain a few of the nicer ones. I am now thinking of getting a couple of them altered to fit me. I basically need to have them slimmed. I now...- teecube
