Thick as Thieves update? paging Get Smart?

[Bandwagonesque]

Supply and demand man! With prices like that, us SFers are going to be waiting 2 years to get our TaT steez...

yea some pretty well known groups. Don't really want to say right now who tho, since nothing is etched in stone and I'd feel like I was jinxing myself

Modfather?

jk

Good news! I'm looking forward to ordering something from you, though it might be a few months still. I'm local, so I think I'll drop by the store on Melrose and La Brea and have a look at the goods.

 

[Get Smart]

right on, Baron. She has a few pieces, smaller sizes in different fabrics (her clientele have that heroin addict physique!). I've made some adjustments since those were made, as they're definitely cut DiorHomme style for really skrawny doods...the new pattern is a tad more democratic around the chest/arms but still retains the slim element that I want. If you happen out there, shoot me a note and let me know your thoughts, good and bad!

btw, all suits come standard with a heavy duty cherry wood hanger

$450 retail for a RTW which has 26" sleeves standard, non functional cuff, 38" unfinished trouser (all suits are floating canvas, satin lining, horn buttons)

for SFers I'll knock off $100 to above price and throw in free shipping anywhere in the world.

needless to say, I'm not in this to make a ton of $, as I'm selling with a small margin over my cost but as I have a day job, I can afford not to be too greedy.

I'm tired of seeing overpriced stuff everywhere, it's really making me sick seeing suits selling for $1000-1500 that should be at $300 so I thought I'd do something as an alternative. You're not getting a Kiton suit, but I'm definitely throwing in as many quality details within an affordable price point as I can.

Sean....yea some pretty well known groups. Don't really want to say right now who tho, since nothing is etched in stone and I'd feel like I was jinxing myself

any chance of 44s?

 

[Get Smart]

sure Drizzt, I can grade a size 44. also PMd you

and once the site is up, there is a specs page with all vital measurements of the suits for you to compare with your sizes

 

[digital_denim]

Damn, i need a suit too. Perfect....i may be in LA in March, i'll try and stop by the shop to check it out.

Do they do measurements in the store?

If they're too small I won't be able to fit into them. I'm a true 40R and heroin chic looks ridiculous on me. I'd love to have a JFK/60's style suit that fit me like new rather than like modified thrift store. Are you going to offer a range of fabric choices? I'm itching to look at a swatch book.

 

[Get Smart]

D_D....no she doesnt do instore measurements. If you know yours, that is the most ideal. honestly, I'd have a hard time trusting someone else to take measurements and would rather shoulder that responsibility myself in case something is off.

Baron...she should have a few size 40s (i know she's holding one for a customer), and the 40 isn't ridiculously skinny so it might fit you well. The 36, 38s fit a bit tighter than the 40, in relation to its own size. I kind of figured that as sizes go up, folks are less likely to be emaciated so I tried to take that into account. I'll eventually have some fabric scans up to choose from on the website. and I'm looking at trying to source some pretty cool new fabrics from a supplier a UK buddy recommended, as well as hitting up Howard-BritishFabrics

This is so ******* cool man. Great name too. I just need to get some more dollars...

 

[Ott]

this is great. I don't need a suit yet but I'll probably buy one anyway.

 

[Parker]

cool, man. can't wait to see the goods.

 

[phooi]

GS -- Any chance that there will be suits for the short guys? I'm a 36S and a little more...

 

[Matt]

Jason - you rock.

 

[Saucemaster]

GS, I'm seriously interested. That's awesome, man.
