Nice story, but contains some lulz. You act like you're meeting up with a hooker or something. "He offered me a bagel and coffee and then disappeared behind some racks...I was very nervous."

In all seriousness, though, good writeup on the first-time experience. Congrats on going through with it, and be sure to post suit pics when ready.

Thanks for a very detailed write-up. Anyone complaining about your writing style or content can skip the parts they are not interested in.

By the way, I don't think you mentioned how you got home from that somewhat dicey neighborhood...did you have to call a cab to pick you up?

It is an industrial area. It is a factory you are going to not a haberdashery shop. It is not the 1980's in Brooklyn anymore like most people think.

anyone who thinks they need a taxi due to safety issues is thinking like a *****. As stated before, very safe walk from the subway.

They also seem to have troubles with the vents on single vents. Make sure it's not twisting. Other than that no issues but I was under the impressions his son's are not tailors and studied something non relevant to clothing or factory running.


FWIW, I have never seen a MG suit with a soft lapel roll.
