Am fairly new to the forum and have been lurking and reading like a fiend. You guys are seriously great and I'm learning a ton.
Went in the other week to get measured for a Zegna MTM 3-piece charcoal pinstripe at Harry Rosen (I'm in Toronto). Having no experience in MTM and only a very basic understanding of what the available customization options are, I mostly just answered the questions that the tailor asked. What worries me is that he didn't ask about surgeon's cuffs, a ticket pocket, or even discuss styles of lapels. At the time, I wasn't well enough informed to know about the differences, but after spending some time with you guys I know better.
I've read some threads here indicating that for the price you pay, you should expect satisfaction with the suit, but that's often been expressed in instances in which the customer indicated a preference and that preference was clearly not met. My question is whether, when I go in for my fitting, I should feel justified in demanding the suit be remade with surgeon's cuffs or peak lapels (for example) if they aren't present since these were options never presented to me in the first place? Or is this a case of buyer beware--a case of doing my homework a little too late?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
