MyTailor (Hemrajani Bros.) Appreciation/Discussion Thread

[Despos]

I decided this morning to be prudent and say no to the tux.

And thenjust a few minutes ago found out I will have another black tie event in December. I don't think it'd get turned around in time....

Do midnight barathea and not a mohair blend. You’ll be happier over time. Schofield and Smith makes my favorite barathea for a tuxedo. Then decide on grosgrain or silk/satin. Do grosgrain. Both decisions of barathea and grosgrain look better in pictures because they absorb light less than reflect light. Shiny lapels and mohair look best if you’re in the “Rat Pack”
Do you want a vest with a scooped opening or conventional opening with 3 buttons? Ask for extra buttons because covered buttons with a metal shank tend to cut the thread and fall off.

The option is to cut the facing from the top of lapel and end it an inch it two below the button. Use a different cloth for the facing from that point to the hem. saves enough cloth that it may work. Doesn’t take away from the integrity of the garment in any way. It’s a discussion to have with them. May not occur to them as a way to save cloth. Eliminating side or center vent will save cloth too.

I'll mention that, thank you! And it's gonna be a dinner jacket, so no vents or pocket flaps.

Flaps or no flaps doesn’t make a difference. You use the same amount of cloth for the pocket facing When you don’t make a flap.

Thanks. I think I want the scooped opening. Do you have any examples of tuxes you've done that you can share that you like a lot?

Did a scooped vest for Newcomer, might be a picture in his thread.
Did the other style for brax and he’s posted pictures from his wedding.
don’t take many pictures of what gets made up for clients.
Picture, not a good one, of a midnight tux on a mannequin on my IG page.

Those were good. Thanks.

Just got back from visiting with Divij. The main purpose of the visit was to introduce my son to him. He just turned 29 and for his birthday I told him I’d have him a custom jacket made.

Of course while I was there I decided to get a new dinner jacket for myself as well. ?‍♂️

Well, you just gotta, don't you?

As this is the Hemrajani thread, here's a scooped front vest made by Hemrajani/Divij Bespoke.

My thought exactly.

Another amazing dinner jacket from Divij and his team.

I don’t post personal pictures here often—but I thought this was special enough to merit a post. I recently had my oath ceremony to become a naturalized U.S. citizen (after being in the country for 20+ years). I wore a Divij suit especially made for this occasion. Divij added a really nice detail on the inside.

The shirt’s from CEGO, and @Shirtmaven had absolutely the most perfect button for the occasion.

To me, this is the value of building relationships with such wonderful artisans—both Carl and Divij recognized the importance of this occasion and used their creativity to match its gravity.

 

[Mark from Plano]

Congratulations!! ??

 

[Verve]

Congrats, Nevaeh! Nice looking suit.

I recently placed my 1st order with Divij for a suit & shirt. The basting garment fitting will be in either January or February, and I just received the jacket lining from Rampley & Co to try something unique. Great customer service from Rampley (thanks Emily!).

I’ll post a pic or 2 when I receive final product.
