That's interesting. I've always loved his slacks but have been hit or miss on the chinos.

Now that I've had multiple rounds of shirts and blazers, I love his stuff more and more. HIs stuff does tend to run "snug" but that's his Euro work I think. I just make sure to ask for a little room on all the stuff he makes me and it tends to work out great.

I've done one pair of chinos, ehh. Slacks, shirts and 'american cut' suits all day long.

Yep, you'll need to meet with him to pick fabrics etc, so might as well measure.

You're getting custom clothes, why wouldn't you measure?

Looks like he has a website now. I've heard of him from Texags for years. Some day I'll be in shape when he comes around

Edit: the site is worthless, don't bother other than maybe his contact info is correct.

Yep, he knows that. I think someone took it hostage and won't edit it unless he pays some obscene cash.

Eh he was okay - but to be fair I think I'm about done with the custom crap. Most tailors I try out - well I have better luck off the rack.

I pay more off the rack so it's a good deal for me.

The orders get processed in the order they were received, but they don't get started until he gets back to Thailand.

So for this trip, the Austin and BCS orders will get processed first once he returns to Asia, and on down the list. It's usually a month to six weeks for you to get your stuff in the mail from the time you placed the order but can be a bit longer if he's on a particularly long trip. You'll typically need to get your items professionally pressed (not cleaned) when you receive them, especially the jackets and slacks because of their material. He gets a lot of clothing packed into small boxes to keep his shipping costs down leading to the need for them to be pressed.

That's a shame. Also even though I now know the pronunciation you'll still always sound like a character that didn't make it into the Gumby lineup in my head

Went a couple years back on advice of this board as a lurker. No judgment hear but thought I'd throw out my 2 cents.

I really don't get the buzz on this guy. I liked the couple shirts I got but the pants are the worst I've ever bought (like worst than Steinmart type not just Bros A Bank crappy). So tight around my calves I can't wear boots with them.

Felt sketch just rolling into a hotel like I was doing hooker and blow things or something.

Again, I am an open minded fella and to each their own. But with the lax work clothes that was even more multiplied with covid I don't need too much true dress/ biz prof wardrobe as I did say circa 2013. I've decided the play for me is to buy the couple of work/biz pitch suites/attire on the high end and keep them for a long time.

I literally wear a suit maybe 2-5 times a year outside of weddings and that jazz.

Carry on. Just wanted to provide a diff perspective than most posters in case it's helpful.

ETA: fitting timing as I literally just got his bi annual text that HES BACK lol


He's a clown. Hard to believe people actually go to him for clothes

I wore one of the sport coats he made me last night to a dinner. Had no less than three people walk up and tell me how much they liked my jacket. I'm very happy with what he made for me.

Same here. In fact, that's how he's grown clients in my network. People ask me where I got a certain shirt or my sports coats and I link them up.
