I bought a suit in September 2017. It was a 5 day order. I came in on a Saturday, had my fitting in the afternoon, and picked up the suit on Tuesday.
The measurement process was painless and the guys were great to work with. The shirt needed a bit of adjusting, but they were able to turn it around speedily within two hours.
I'm conducting the pinch test above my top buttonhole, but I only feel two layers. Taking the jacket off and working my way further up, I feel the canvas in between the two outer layers. Definitely half-canvas.
As one of my first custom made suits ($5500 HKD), I was happy when I initially received the suit. However, I have been learning more and more about what should be the custom suit fit.
In pictures taken after the fact, the shoulders have slight divots, the back does not lie flat under the collar and is slightly tight, the rear pockets are done with a loop around a button on the outside of the rear pocket, rather than having the button on the inside of the rear pocket, and the trousers are not cut perfectly and wrinkle as a result. Whenever I sit down, because I have large quads, the trousers are at the tightest possible without bursting.
However, this was a 5-day order and, I'm hoping, with more time, fittings and adjustments, they could have gotten this suit fitting perfectly. read more
