We were trying tons off the rack blazers for my DH and none was perfect. He has broad shoulders and narrow waist so everything which fits his shoulders is too big in the back. I think he also needs bespoke tailoring for him...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bespoke-jacket#post-1583619 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 14:36:54 +0000 Susie 1583619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun experiment!

I'm excited with you to see the finished product! The funky lining should be fun.</p> <p>Are women's clothes harder to fit even when they're custom made? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bespoke-jacket#post-1583614 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 13:54:49 +0000 anne 1583614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will be very interesting to see how this turns out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bespoke-jacket#post-1583579 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 10:59:06 +0000 Helen11 1583579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, exciting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bespoke-jacket#post-1583574 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 10:53:26 +0000 Anonymous 1583574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, cant wait to see the result.

In Toronto, there are newspaper ads about this all the time. It seems to gear to men and I have worked with a couple men that have done it, and been very pleased ( and they look great) </p> <p>The company flies in a couple times a year and books appointment in local swanky hotels. One of my coworkers did not like one suit and the tailor fixed it next time he was here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bespoke-jacket#post-1583515 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 04:02:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1583515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, boy! sounds promising.

My dad had had several items custom made in China and was very happy with the results (he has scoliosis and one shoulder is higher than the other). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bespoke-jacket#post-1583509 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 03:48:44 +0000 Eliza 1583509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun to give it a go. I like the description of your jacket. Hope you are happy with the results. In any case, it is an experience worth trying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bespoke-jacket#post-1583485 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 01:48:46 +0000 rachylou 1583485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bespoke-jacket#post-1583484 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 01:47:34 +0000 Anonymous 1583484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope the jacket turns out to be fabulous and suspect it will. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bespoke-jacket#post-1583477 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 01:16:38 +0000 deb 1583477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bespoke-jacket#post-1583473 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 01:14:24 +0000 Anonymous 1583473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so excited for you!!! &nbsp;I can hardly wait to see it modeled. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bespoke-jacket#post-1583465 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 00:49:49 +0000 Colette 1583465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot wait to see the results, sounds wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bespoke-jacket#post-1583463 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 00:47:43 +0000 Janet 1583463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I'm intrigued to see how it turns out.

Vent in back, no buttons on the sleeves, slightly tapered sleeves so I can push up easily, slash pockets.&nbsp; </p> <p>He's based in Singapore and gets excellent reviews online.&nbsp; DH got 2 suits and a couple of shirts.&nbsp; We will see how it works out, but nothing was more expensive than off the rack items.&nbsp; As&nbsp;a bonus he's originally from India and was thrilled to talk to me about what it's like living here.</p> <p>Results will be here in 3 weeks or so - I will be sure to post my pictures and am keeping fingers crossed!</p>
