Well, sadly I do not think periwinkle is a particularly attractive color.
That’s gonna be a big no for me dog. Jacket was swimming on me and didn’t look as good in person as the pic. They didn’t have it in a smaller size either. The only other one I liked was $700. I’m going to wear one of my suit jackets that I already have pants and a shirt for. It looked more like an old man jacket. Not sure how they made it look so nice in the pics.
Has potential.
They have two dinners on the cruise that require a jacket. I'm thinking something close to this instead of the typical navy RL blazer. If it makes me look gayer I will just consider that more opportunity. I have a gorgeous dinner jacket but this isn't formal and I could just take a jacket from one of my suits but. . . I guess I just want to buy something new is the real truth.
I usually have to go that route. I have a Turkish lady that is a perfectionist but also charges like one. She is really good though. Off the shelf stuff looks bespoke.
I go to a little wedding shop here in town, in the 'off-season'. In PHX, that's actually the summer or Thanksgiving-Spring Break.
There's a dude from Bangladesh who does the men's tailoring, and I get an awesome rate on top-shelf work. I only wear a suit when I'm teaching or presenting at symposiums/conferences, so I suit-shop once a year.
My brother got all of his measurements taken and had a tailor in India that sent him shirts, jackets and pants in amazing materials for a quarter of the price they would be here. I think it was one of his employees that introduced him to the dude and it was awesome. Material swatches would arrive in the mail, he would pick what he wanted for everything and it would show up a month or so later.
I ordered shirts from Original Stitch. They make them in Japan. They were perfect.
Because if they aren’t American you know they came from somewhere else with a better work ethic and a desire to do good work.
Seems like passive aggressive oppression to me. You?
lol
forum folk are an odd bunch
lotta judging people for labels
people should be judged on an individual basis and from real life in person contact...anything else is mental masturbation
Just my take
I’ve had alterations done at men’s stores and If I think about it they are never American. The mens stores usually have older Italian guys. Once the Turkish lady couldn’t get my son in I called a new guy and he was Italian. Americans don’t seem to do this at least in Florida.
