The sleeves though View attachment 1838552 View attachment 1838553

Direct from my wardrobe without ironing for years, I passed this 2 suits to Ng to make alterations when he got time, I asked him to take these 2 photos and post them to his webs.

This mid grey fresco suit on my 200lbs body looks perfect, but doesnt' look too good on a small size wood model, and without ironing for years:

This dugdale bro. suit on my 200lbs body looks perfect, but doesnt' look too good on a small size wood model, and without ironing for years:

That proved you don't know a wrong size model and without ironing will make things looking different. sleeves? No!

The above 2 jackets are mine, made by Ng sifu sometime ago, I was 200 lbs. both don't look too good on a small wood model, but the sleeves on my body was perfect when I was 200lbs. After losing 40 lbs, I asked Ng to make the below suit for me. I am now 150lbs, this suit is now abit oversize on me. The same wood model holding another suit of different size, looking different:

what more can you say? you don't know mannequin model of wrong size and without ironing will turn things looking different? It's not how many lbs, it's wrong size and ironing. wrinkles and fold also cause things looking different.this is simple common sense.

You have been repeating failed tricks again and again, bad jokes!

Yeah I want to relearn everything about menswear through Peke and prove to the world that these sifus are better than the Rubinaccis and Liveranos and whoever at just 2-3k
(EDIT: I'd see if I can end this back-and-forth sometime. Sorry for dragging it on for 15 pages.
EDIT 2: SY Wong makes nice pants -- good bang for buck.)

Sorry dude. Didn't know the 5lb I lost would make my sleeves twisted😢 I've just not seen that from other photos online that show that... Maybe you can inspire me

I have in fact asked four different people what they think about the coat: two friends who are tailors trained by legendary Tailor Yau, a sifu based on the island side of HK, and an owner of a Vietnamese tailor shop. All pointed out the problem: the sleeves.

I have a jacket made by one of them and will have it put on the same mannequin soon to attempt to show that the mannequin did not cause the issues.

Or, if necessary, a few mannequins.

I don't see any problem for your sleeves in all angles:

too easy to see you set up a different sleeves look, your trick failed! no one is stupid here. whatever tailors you want to say, doesn't matter how your future sleeves looks, photos in this post proved your set up sleeves. they got different sleeves look before and after you picked up your jacket:

Photo examples of #1577 proved the wrong size model and ironing problem!
This post proved wrinkles and fold that you set up caused things looking different.

What's the point to repeat your same old mistakes? Your bad jokes of sleeves failed again!

Yeah I still think people can't see that I'm tricking them🤪 I'm willing to go as far as putting the jackets on mannequins and myself (more dead than those dead wood models) to trick the masses👍🏼

But you're right I needa go tell Mr. Yau Fook Hing (I think you have his name on your Medium Blogspot and whatever) that his students went out to trick customers like me.

And in fact... more tricks:

^TYPO: “than” and “Sartoria Corcos”. Sorry🙏🏼 I obviously know nothing

^That did not happen in the week of 26 September, 2022 HK Time.🙏🏼

Baotou customers are not stupid. We know what to pick!
We all see sales people intention. This "before and after" presentation is clear enough!
You are repeating your set up wrinkles and fold tricks.
It's funny to see you have spent a few HK$k for your jacket for this trick!

As long as you're happy with my coat.🥰
Ng should have been by royalty really -- those UK US Italian and French tailors ain't got nothin' on him. You'd want to be his spokesperson too🥰 Remember to like all his works on FB and IG as you do now.

One more thing to do though: go accuse Savile Row shops of using mannequins, camera angles and whatever to make their items look so different.

And remind them that as far as Ng, you don't see anything problem. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.😚

you are reminding baotou consumers about your set up.

Yeah I'm reminding them to just go to Ng too

I hope I make you happier by getting people to go to Ng too so more photos and likes can go online 😄

 

[Warrant_Buffet]

You like my coat. You're very smart. But I'm a loser🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ sorry for making you like a lover's coat🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

I'm wondering where the costs go too. Just very random guesses:

(RMB:HKD ~ 1.2 to 1)

My sport coat: 2.6K HKD (one fitting included)

Cutting / labor - unknown
Sewing - 200-500 RMB? (I heard top-grade sewers in southern China charge 500RMB to sew coats, so jackets might be cheaper. Dunno about those workshops up north though but they're likely more expensive)
Shipping - under 100RMB one way
Rent and utilities - unknown
Basting (if done at Mirador, like mine, as Ng told me; one-off): presumably no more than 200HKD probably but rates depend on how well-basted you want the item to be. Basting can take less than 2 hours or more than a whole day.

If anything, you might see it's not profitable to have more than one fitting. Big errors mean you have to have the unfinished product resewn, and if they stem from errors in cutting, especially if around the neck, things can be unsalvageable.

This is also why, and I am making this up, some sifus leave the sleeve cutting to Chinese workshops (more cost?).
