Chipped MOP Buttons

[Eli Curt]

Here's my 2 cents..

1. FIT Consult a tailor. Determine if the jacket can be properly tailored to improve the fit and the cost to do so. An ill-fitting suit is worthless notwithstanding the bargain price paid to the reseller or the original MSRP at the store.

2. CRACKED OR CHIPPED BUTTONS I seriously doubt that all those buttons chipped and cracked in transit. We receive thousands of suit jackets and sport coats through the mail every year and rarely do we encounter chipped or cracked buttons. If we do see such buttons, the client typically tells us that the buttons were damaged by a previous cleaner and requests that we replace them.

3. LAPEL ROLL A true quality cleaner like Meurice or Hallak in NYC (not the cleaner across the street or around the corner) will know how to fix the lapel roll. I'm not sure why you would expect Isaia to fix the lapel for a sport coat purchased online from an internet reseller.

SUMMARY

If the fit is good (or has been corrected by your tailor), find a true quality cleaner who can (a) clean the coat for you (wearing a sport coat purchased from a reseller that has not been cleaned before you wear it, is simply unhygienic), (b) hand press the coat (and in the process, fix the roll) and (c) supply and replace those MOP buttons at the same time.

Hope this helps.

Yes. Tremendously. I am satisfied with the fit, so the only thing left to do is visit the cleaners. There's a Hallak near me in Hackensack so I'll look them up.
