D.S. Dundee

[hoit1981]

Just realized I started a D.S. Dundee thread in the wrong forum. I wanted to get some info on D.S. Dundee before I bought anything from them, but as I didn't I went ahead and ordered anyway. I bought a Valsgarth Merino Cardigan in Navy...



The construction is great but for a couple of things...
1: The button holes were (way) too big - so big in fact that they wouldn't actually button up! A tailor closed each of the button holes slightly.
2: It was loose and baggy around the arms so I had the tailor make it more fitted, not by a great deal but it was necessary.

It's now a wonderful piece of clothing but it cost $35 in tailoring fees to get that way.

It's worth mentioning that the customer service is impeccable! I contacted the store before ordering and they were incredibly helpful. They lowered the price of shipping and deducted VAT. I believe I received it in NYC less than 3 days after I placed the order - insanely fast shipping and it avoided the import duties too. Really a very good brand and one I'll keep an eye on.

Wow

You should send them a kind note letting them know of that horrible design error.

also, I think these folks may be grave robbers. I swear that model is a corpse. Look at the cold, grey, lifeless hands..

Haha yeah I know. Was so strange and I'd certainly never seen (or heard) of that happening before?! All good now though...
