Anyone Heard of Jakob Custom Clothiers?

The copy on their website seems waaaay too good to be true. Fully-canvased suits starting sub-$500. The mention of their pattern makers implies bespoke rather than MTM.

Never heard of them. Definitely too good to be true.

i guess it is jacob Kozin's diffusion line.


I love the stock photos on the website. surprised my friend Travis is not there.
I have seen his photo on at least three different sites.

Hoping these guys are good. Yesterday I grabbed the Groupon deal of $75 for "a custom-fitted men's shirt, necktie, and complimentary monogramming." The regular price is $190.

Am I kidding? No. I've paid $75, and I'll see how it goes.

It looks pretty hideous. Remember that advertising will imply as much as possible without saying it outright in order to mislead you into thinking you are getting more than you really are.

I saw that Groupon too, couldn't find any real info on them or feedback so I passed on it. I hope it works out for you!

I'm going to see if they have a nice red gingham fabric for the shirt. Been wanting one of those for the spring/summer.
