Hey just wondering, is it just the pic / the way the jacket was put on the mannequin or was the left sleeve attached slightly more backward than the right? It doesn't seem as apparent for your Scabal onemy new 3pcs suit, British fabric, British cut.
That's bold. Like it when people don't just ask to have their every suit to have the same, aggressive waist suppression.This is my new suit, Scabal Capri, Italian cut:
nice, would you be willing to dm me the details of this off-mirador tailor?Think I'd share photos of my first setting with a young, off-Mirador tailor. From what I've learned, it's fully handmade in HK.
I snatched the vintage fabric from a beat-up store in Sham Shui Po -- <100HKD aka <14.5USD for the whole piece.
The tailor was patient enough to discuss the options I was going with (Nutter-esque lapels, roped shoulders etc.) and whether or not they'd suit my needs. It was a nice experience, all in all.
Absolutely. How about you DM me since I can't do that for some reasonnice, would you be willing to dm me the details of this off-mirador tailor?

Think we can all relate to that. Cutters would have a lot to say about that and scoliosis.my right and left shoulders are not perfectly equal, not sure if this is uneven shoulders.
my arm length of both side is 2mm different. I don't know the tailor term for what this is called.
Point taken indeed.People asked me, and this is my answer:
Ng sifu, British cut Vs Wong SY sifu, Italian cut
I personally prefer Ng sifu cutting and skills that better suits my taste and needs.
Workmanship: about same grade of workmanship
canvas workmanship, shoulder workmanship, milanese buttonhole, etc.
Wong SY sifu products have more detail finishing.
Ng sifu takes care of measurement, cutting, fitting, and alterations in HK. He controls his own Shenzhen workshop and Shenzhen labour.
Wong SY sifu takes care of measurement and fitting in HK. He outsources the production to a high grade Shenzhen factory. This factory takes care of cutting and major alterations.
I am satisfied with both sifu workmanship. Both sifu offer excellent dollar value and good workmanship.
The big difference is the cutting and the shoulders.
Ng sifu offers shirt shoulders and Wong sifu offers neapolitan shoulders.
We pick whatever we prefer.
Point taken indeed.
I'm actually having a first fitting with Ng this week. We talked about you briefly not long ago and he can't thank you enough for being a huge help to the sifus at Mirador.
