Thanks.
They have had very mixed reviews with their bespoke, it makes me quite hesitant to go there.

What aspects of their bespoke service get mixed reviews?
I have used them in the past, have 2 jackets and several pairs of trousers.
The house cut is not great for me, but the quality of the work is very good. I’ll check if I have pictures.

The trousers are excellent value for money - probably my go-to tailor for them right now.

I believe that it was on StyleForum. The bespoke issue was the poor service for sizing thus the suit did not fit well. This happened to a few customers.
It may have changed but it did make me wary when I read it.

Odd. They are quite thorough and will offer additional fittings as needed, including a muslin/discard fabric if needed.

wow those are nice. Never took you to be a guy to buy a captoe oxford in plum museum calf. It is always nice to get a shoe from Vass.

I have black, browns and burgundy covered in oxfords so the plum interested me. I like red-purple hues with shoes. I also have Bordeaux and oxblood Vass

Sorry to disappoint, I am not even a minor Shoo Daddy. I wear three pairs of boots 90% of the time and have another 3-4 pairs in the back of the closet and that’s it.

They are ok - a bit overpriced (it’s all RTW), and their cuts are a bit too boxy in my opinion
