Hello, I currently reside in vancouver, canada and am in the proccess of looking for a black sports coat (I like the look, irregardless of the comments), in which i can pair with jeans and t-shirt/ dress shirt. I have looked all over and cant seem anything to really fit normally. (I have ten inch drop and wide, big shoulders)
Ive been to Holts/Harry's/H&M and other stores and cannot seem to find one that fits me correctly. The best one was a club monaco 38 but it was too tight in the shoulder area as i used to lift weights. Also an Mexx which was too long in length and wide. I estimate those changes itself would cost approximately 100 dollars. So might as well pay a little more for mtm.
In essence, i have decided to get one made to measure max 500 dollars. I went to modernize tailors however, the fabric selection was pretty awful. I was wondering if any vancouverites have any good tips on where to pick up some good fabrics in vancouver and i could bring it to modernize tailors to use? or better tailors. Should I get wool or something more casaul? suggestions?
Thanks a lot
