The best example beeing linen trousers, which should actually be made a bit longer than normal, due to the excessive wrinkling when worn, agree?

I forgot to respond to this part: yes I do agree. My reference was to the relative imprecision of unbraced and belted trousers on most physiques, and there I do think the most common tendency is for the trousers to work their way lower as they are worn until the man readjusts them.

Very nice, Vox. You say the Hemrajani is MTM. Isn't it bespoke?

Can we get a closeup of the shoes?

Thank you.

I ordered the shirt from their mytailor.com site as an impulse...so, it was made purely by measurement numbers that I submitted. So, even though it is individualized (thereby, basically bespoke), it does not have the advantage of the maker evaluating the fit on the person. Thus: I think MTM is more accurate.

It actually fits really well...sleeves are a tad short after laundering, and there's a bit of roll behind the collar, but other than that, it's rather nice. Fabric is Albini/Thomas Mason silver, good MoP buttons, high stitches per inch, straight sewing.

Closeup of the cap toes are on the previous page.

Seriously though- they run true to width? (Hoping they run narrow).


They don't run narrow...but I think that they can MTO a narrower size.

It's basically an MTO/bespoke operation anyway.
