UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

Absolutely beautiful texture.....also, did you lose weight? 'Not trying to pry, but it's an issue that many on here deal with - you lose weight and are faced with an expensive time-consuming choice; do you get your wardrobe re-tailored or just grab some braces and go with the flow; do you send back to the original tailor, or just use a local person? If you did, what are your plans and if you didn't, well, you look good in any event. BTW, this dilemma can be faced by gaining weight, gaining muscle, losing muscle, etc.
Ive lost muscle mass throughout the years but my clothes more or less still fit. I just needed some cheaper options from bespoke and Carrara fits the bill.Absolutely beautiful texture.....also, did you lose weight?

Unbelievably, it seems there's no master thread that focuses on made-to-measure tailoring. Let's start one.
Post your made-to-measure classic menswear garments in this thread. As with Ongoing Bespoke Projects, photos that emphasize fit are particularly welcome, as are "in the wild" shots. Details about corrections for posture, etc are welcome.
Ideally, this thread will show the possibilities and some of the limits of made-to-measure tailoring for those who want an alternative to bespoke with more customized options than off-the rack clothing can provide.
To get the ball rolling, here's a recent commission that I picked up late in the spring of 2020. This is a deadstock alpaca/lambswool tweed. Adjustments made for my low right shoulder, erect posture, and hollow lower back. Sleeves are rotated backwards to account for posture.

Excellent ! Who made it?
Thanks Colin. Yes, jackets, trousers, and shirts are all fair game. Even knitwear, if people want to post. Price point is optional. In my case, both of these jackets are from Flanigan Clothing, a relatively new made-to-measure operation that's been making my jackets and trousers since last year. The tweed was a steal, and the hopsack considerably more (about $1200) because of the expense of the fabric.
