Gentlemen,

Thanks for assuaging some of my fears!

Gentlemen, Thank you for your replies. Bishop, you bring up another item that I was hoping to get thoughts on. Assuming I conclude that I am unwilling to pay the premium, who do we think would have the highest probability of executing a hacking/equestrian shaped suit, similar to Huntsman. I had thou...

Obviously, not to the same level of bespoke but how 'customized' is the fit of their MTM to simply OTR? For example, could changes/accomodations be made for a low shoulder, fuller trouser, hig...

Gentlemen, I have just recently joined this forum and am quite excited to have all of you available for wise input and counsel in this, my first, posting. Let me provide some introductory context.
