Hahaha, Shane I never knew we were mates or Shills, I don't even know what the hell u look like or what a shill was either! The librarian is full of theoretical BS, I told the (Shill of another tailor) Librarian that I had a calico pattern made for my body and had many fittings with calico and suit. He probably doesn't even know what a calico is?
If he drove from his country town a few hours to Melbourne he would CLEARLY see the tailors and patternmakers at work RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, it's there for everyone to see. Germanicos probably boasts the best Pure Tailor Showroom and workroom in Australia from Melbourne, But the librarian likes to read too much and not go and see for himself, likes to feel important hiding behind his blogs, the information he has is of no substance.
I called Germanicos and asked about the links to Thailand above, they don't deny there is a factory that they are in partnership with in Thailand, however this is for their cut price brand ATAILOR (www.shirt-tailor.com.au). If you go to that site, it clearly states manufacturing in Thailand and allegiances to Germanicos for QC. They mentioned Thailand manufacturing was for their (Jestar Label) Atailor, but for their (Qantas label) Germanicos they do no work from there.
They further mentioned Germanicos Makes ALL patterns individually for each customer in Australia, they stitch their top shelf offering in Australia and also have workrooms in Portugal and Greece for the cheaper options, which do some of the stitching from their patterns drawn in Australia.
I've been through had over 5 fittings with Calico and Suit and have a suit in my wardrobe which gets me compliments every time I wear it. The (shill of another tailor) has never been there, nor does he state his allegiances to another tailor and his words are full of fluff and no substance.
Hmm...

One fitting is all that's needed? Suit finished in 4 weeks? That's proof that it's MTM right there. True bespoke requires several fittings prior to the delivery of the finished item and longer to complete. Sorry, this is offshore MTM as I've always said it was and no amount of shill BS can say otherwise!
^ For true bespoke? Nonsense!
Sorry but I disagree. In my experience 1 fitting can be enough and a suit can be completed within one week...
