When l think about it l would have pointed out: how crap the fit was, would placed the suit at the doorstep, would have walked all over it, would have suggested they use it for clients to use as a doormat. After that, i'd be asking for my money back. With abortions like that, they need no second chance. They seem like a good brand for rich nubs with an appreciation for history, but also for nubs with no concept of good fit. lf that is the best bespoke tailors can do, who needs them.

What is even more worrying/laughable is all the clueless doods who praise the suit. lt's worrying because it's conversations about bespoke; and as it shows here, many of these S.F tryhards know nothing about the fit of good bespoke, so we get a forum full of bullsh*t bespoke talk...one of the reasons why tailor advises me to avoid all the bespoke talk on clothing message boards (people are full of crap).

I did.  Few years back.  Big mistake.  This guy's suit is not nearly as bad as mine, but, it's still pretty amateurish.  As I commented in another thread, the uneven shoulders are a consequence of poor balance.  The back is swimming in excess cloth, er, drape.  Drape shmape, the shoulders are horrible.  And, the poor guy's elation over the "comfort" of the coat because it's so roomy is is an indication of naivete on his part, however, he is being ill-served by those on the fora flattering his suit and will likely make the same mistakes over and over again.  A correctly tailored jacket doesn't sacrifice proper, flattering fit for comfort.  Total scam.  So sad.

Whatever the clients shortcomings they are hardly severe and he shouldn't have to apologize to his tailor for them. This suit needs to be tuned up.
