Suitsupply has been steadily improving their custom made program over the last few years. They recently released a whole slew of new trouser customization options that allow you to choose different pleat options, waistband options, and more. I had the pleasure of reviewing a pair, and chose a slightly stretchy, lightweight, almost open-weave option from Reda in a super versatile light gray wool…
Read moreAre These Stretchy Pants Better Than LuLuLemon?
Sometimes you want to look nice, but don’t want to fell all dressed up. You don’t want your movement to be restricted at all, and you just want to feel like you’re wearing sweatpants, but look like you’re wearing chinos. That is, in a nutshell, the pitch when it comes to LuLuLemon “stretchy pants”, the new trend that all guys these days seem to be wearing…
Read moreCustom Pants Online From Woodies — A Review
We have reviewed custom shirts from Woodies before in the past. Our conclusion? Solid fabrics, solid construction and quality, but a lackluster website and not a super flexible pattern leading to difficulty in truly nailing down a perfect fit. Overall, then, solid, but not if you’re super picky about fit. This winter, though, they released flannel-lined chinos. These are something I have wanted for some time, but usually are not available in a fit that I want…
Read moreReview: Blank Label’s Custom Tailored Pants
Here we are, back once again with another review of online, MTM clothing. We have taken a look at Blank Label before, specifically their custom shirt offerings. While they have a clean website, nice fabric curation, and produce a quality garment, we found their fit inconsistent across multiple orders, perhaps the biggest flaw in their system…
Read moreReview: Bluffworks New Travel Jeans + Comparison
We’ve taken a look at Bluffworks in the past and have been quite happy with their products. They make “tech wear”, or clothing that looks like it’s just typical, average, normal clothing but actually has all sorts of special technical properties that make it stretch, water-resistant, sweat-resistant, stretchy, and so on. Their suit, for instance, is washable! Recently, though, they released a new item: Travel Jeans ($125)…
Read moreA Review of SPOKE Trousers + Polo Shirts
A new, rather interesting company launched recently. It’s called SPOKE and it’s based out of London. As is implied by their name (be-spoke), they want to offer a more custom, tailored, precise fit for various garments of clothing. They’re starting with pants, cords, and polos…
Read moreBanana Republic Pants Haul & Roundup Review
If you read this site, you know that we have been pretty down on Banana Republic (and many other similar companies!) for their utter lack of consistency in fit across their product line. This is why we’ve been trying to do more of these roundup/haul style posts in which we order a bunch of items from one brand, and compare them to each other…
Read moreJomers New Tailored-Fit Italian Travel Jeans In Review
Jomers is one of those companies that has just been killing it lately. We’ve taken a look at them before, though this time we had much, much better results. So, what do I mean by “killing it”? Well, I would put it this way: Think about Bonobos. They have great clothing, with tons of fit options, but their stuff is super, prohibitively, expensive. In other words, it’s overpriced…
Read moreIn Person: The J Crew 484 vs. 770 Chinos
Many guys really love the chinos that J Crew makes, and with their recent price cuts, they are more enticing than ever. This is not to mention the fact that J Crew recently introduced a new fit for their chinos called the 770. But first, some much needed background…
Read moreMill No. 8 Custom LaSalle Cotton Dress Pants Review
Increasingly, it seems like online made to measure service for men are becoming a dime a dozen. That’s why when certain companies really stand out, they’re worth taking a look at. Mill No. 8 is undoubtedly one of those companies. While there are many companies that pop up and offer just custom made dress shirts, Mill No. 8 also offers a nice line of custom pants as well…
