I have experienced this problem, and it seems to be driven by sleeve pitch. When standing, I have a very erect posture and the sleeves are set quite far back. This looks and feels fine until the arms are moved forward, typically when sitting. The result is there is little "spare" cloth at the front ...

Whilst they may be in the same "mass market" channel, I do not think Pink come anywhere close to TML or CT because they are significantly more expensive. In my view their quality has declined over the years since the Mullen brothers sold out, leaving them no better than the other two names here, and...

I lived in NYC back in the late 90's, and the folk in the Church's shop on Madison recommended B.Nelson. They resoled a couple of pairs for me and did an excellent job.

I found the H&K shop in Paris a constant source of disappoiontment; living in the City as an ex-pat I would always wander in if in the vicinity of Rue Rivoli but never found anything to entice me and always found the welcome half hearted.

Jump on a train and go to see the folks at Cheshire Bespoke in Crewe; maybe not bespoke in the truest sense, but they make remarkable suits, with a high element of handwork and well within the budget you are working to.

I have been a browser of the LL for some months and recently joined up for the simple reason that here I can read a wonderfully diverse range of views about a seemingly limitless range of linked subjects. Profoundly knowledgeable folk mix with happy amateurs(like me) and share views, experiences and...

Having enjoyed reading your comments for many months I have finally joined you and am enjoying writing this, my first post. I have recently ordered two suits from Cheshire Bespoke, as they are only 20 or so miles down the road from me. I was fortunate that Tony Lutwyche, the owner, was there when I ...
