Question about online MTM sites?

I bought a jacket from ModernTailor and used the measurements from an existing jacket that fit really well. As expected, the new jacket was spot on and fit me like a glove.

I then tried the Indochino website because they had a nice selection of fabrics but to my disappointment, they do not accept measurements from existing clothing. They only allow body measurements (which I had heard do not always turn out the best). I went against my instinct and ordered using body measurements anyway. When I received the suit it was so far off that taking it to a tailor would not help much so I am in the process of getting my refund. The body measurement route did not work for me at all and I do not want to try it again.

I want to find sites that use the measurements from existing clothing like Modern Tailor does. Anybody know of other online MTM sites that offer this?

Thanks Terpo.

I looked at the site but they don't seem to offer custom suits. I just see shirts and pants. Any other sites?

They do offer suits. Send them an e-mail to get more information on the process.
