Friedrich, did you provide body measurements or shirt measurements? If body, it's much more understandable that the shirt turned out differently from what you expected.


I provided shirt measurements, but perhaps I should have double-checked them with other polo shirts in order to make them more precise. Anyway, the measurements are a minor issue to me in this case. I didn't expect a perfect fit in the first attempt, especially since in all my years of bespoke and MTM experience this was the first time that I ordered a polo shirt. What caused me quite a headache (and made me laugh out loud) are the buttons, although I now believe that I should have told them clearly that I didn't want the buttons to run through. I thought that this was self-evident when ordering an item that was marked as a polo shirt, but obviously it is not.

Finally brought my coat to the tailor. The sides and collar were taken in. Here's a quick pic, but I'm planning on wearing it mainly with grey flannels. The way Luxire made it means I can wear it as a 6x2 or 6x1, depending on how 80s I feel.

If you don't mind me asking, what fabric is that coat?

I have found a pair of pants that I want to have exactly the same look on. Link to the photo are: http://www.styleforum.net/t/304965/l...541/id/1105270

What I wonder is, when I'll order them (the pants are from luxire, the same side that I have thought to order from), I'm not sure which option I should take. I think the metal adjuster is very nice looking while I like how the pants "snap", see the following picture: http://www.styleforum.net/t/304965/l...541/id/1105272

Is it side metal adjusters that I should choose or do I choose customised and write that I want both side metal adjusters and Adjusting Elastic waistband (Daks adjustors)?

I hope you guys understand my question, I know that it comes across as very ignorant, as I sadly am in this topic..

What are your thoughts on that? Closer pictures? How fast does it wrinkle? I'd usually not ask, except I've got pants that wrinkle as I put them on - albeit the most comfortable pants I own.
I'll take some close up photos. It's quite a heavy fabric. There's definitely some wrinkling, but less so than lighter linen I think. On the other hand, I'm pretty wrinkle tolerant as long as the wrinkles reflect wear (as opposed to a wrinkle from storage or cleaning...). These are definitely comfortable. The heavy linen drapes nicely.
