Hello,

I am looking for a shop that could make me a 40R jacket, with an important choice of fabrics, and some choice of styling (number of vents, 1 vs. 2 vs. 3 buttons, ideally peak v. notch lapels). Bookster can do that, but I'm not convinced by their cut (too much shoulder padding, among other things.)

What are the recommended options? I ran a search on "MTO" and "MTM", but got no result, probably because the search engine doesn't allow 3-letter words...

Thanks,

JD

Some may recommend Magnoli Clothiers;

but DON'T USE THEM!

the majority of their fans don't know much better than their suits that fit like tents. I ordered a jacket once and despite many reassurances from the owner, it was still wrong. Even the two replacements he sent me, claiming to be improved were wrong...they were free though.

Thick as Thieves and Bookster are the only ones that come to mind. T.A.T are in Los Angeles.
