It would be neat to see what your "house" (assuming there is a cut you/team typically gravitate toward) silhouette looks like.

Beyond that, if you have any examples of a drapier type of jacket and "proper" higher rise trousers, I'd be very curious to see!

In this day and age you definitely need IG account if you ask me

So taking a look and this has me legitimately wondering: what does the process for becoming an affiliate vendor on SF look like?

Cuz looking at their site, text is clearly AI-generated, no IG, all photos on google look pretty unflattering, and any photos uploaded on google uploaded by them are just EZ branded. Seriously makes me question the legitimacy of the affiliate vendor system. As far as I can tell, there's no difference between this and other 24-hour turnaround HK tailors.

The instagram account displays a very "down the middle" style.

We talk to the vendors about the forum and their business, often with the owners of the business and not simply a representative, often over months, and create customized campaigns for them. We also make sure to have dedicated points of contact. We rarely look at websites as a deciding factor. With platforms like Shopify, the difference between a good merchant and a poor one is nearly never identifiable simply by looking at a website, which is often less a reflection of their business and more a reflection on how internet based in their business.

In the case of Manning Company, we spoke with the owner many times, discussed their business model. etc... Traveling tailors from the east are a good value and useful service for our mostly US and Canada based audience.

There is no automation in our system whatsoever. The team works directly with the teams at an affiliate vendors. It's about as analog as you get in this digital age.

You may have your own opinion of any affiliate vendor, of course.

Hope that helps clarify our process.
