@gdl203 are you still taking appointments on Thursdays? Also, is it only on Thursdays? It looks like I'm going to be in town next month and would love to discuss MTM. Thanks!
Thursday afternoons are without appointment (open doors). We need to make an appointment for other days (weekdays only). Please reach out to [email protected] to set a time !

Loving these Doppiaa trousers! So comfortable. I might get them hemmed, but I’m kinda loving the slightly baggy look. I was worried that they were kinda tight in the thighs but after one day they stretched out and now fit perfectly.

That’s good to know. Initial wear on mine feels tight highlighted by the upper fly button peaking out, which suggests it’s too tight across the upper thigh. I like the ladies’ attention but not that much.

Anyone returning the Ikiji polo shirt in size 3? I need to size up.

Got a size 3 coming to me on Thursday. But I think I think I may be needing the next size up as well for that slouchy, loose collared fit. If that's the case you want me to hit you up or would you rather take your chances being the lucky one who gets the restock notif?

Wearing my first Inglese dress shirt today. Hands down the best shirt I’ve ever owned (I’ve had almost all of the Italian makers) but jeez the sleeves are long...

I've had my tailor shorten sleeves before. Works but cost me $50 per shirt.

Better off getting MTM ...

Have you guys tried moving the cuff button to tighten the cuff? That does the trick for most guys and costs a few bucks

Also, I really hope you guys launder your shirt at least 3x before chopping off length anywhere.

I had grabbed a few Finamore dress shirts on deep sale a while back. Turns out they were 36 sleeves instead of the 35 I normally wear. Silly Italian shirts on had the neck size, not the sleeve length listed.

They were too nice to part with so I had them adjusted. Never made that error again!

1" for shirt sleeves makes no difference if the cuff is properly adjusted. Fact is most guys buy shirts with sleeves too short. I see it almost everyday in the showroom.

If the opened cuff doesn't reach the top of the V formed by your thumb and index, it's too short

Never thought of moving the button! Just tried the open-cuff thing and my shirt does not reach the V. Wearing a standard Zegna 16.5. Showing .5" of fabric below my suit sleeve as I normally do.

Huh.
