    I just received my suit from Hockerty. It came a little later than expected but I'm actually really surprised by the way it fits. The material is a wool mix and it certainly doesn't feel like pure wool but I like the colour (green-blue). I spent ages taking my measurements, and did it over two days to see if there was much difference. I had two different housemates take the measurements too. I think double, tripple checking your measurements and knowing a bit about how this informs the cut helps get a good fitting suit.
    I'm leaving this comment because too often you only hear the negative reviews, and my suit fits better than the one Ben Arthur seems to have got.

    I imagine its made loose so that it can be tailored rather than risking it being to small.

    I had a shirt done with Hockerty and was disappointed. I emailed them and they NEVER got back to me. Now I have shirt sitting collecting dust. Yes I could have gone to the tailor BUT they said they can cover 25% of the tailoring. Tailor Store is accurate in my opinion. ✌🏼

  • @jonstern7511
    @jonstern7511 5 років тому +13

    In my opinion absolutely not good enough to only cover 25% of tailoring costs. Price is not cheap and buying online carries exactly those risks. They need to ameliorate those risks by letting you send it back and them redo it or alter it for you. Then once they get it right you may well be a repeat customer.

    • @salvajovells2650
      @salvajovells2650 5 років тому

      Hi Jon, as I already explained in another comment. The 25% rule is not created to limit the tailoring costs, but to choose the best option. If something needs more than 25% of what you paid to tailor it, it means that maybe the best solution is to remake it, don't you think?

      Go to Tailor Store, they're much more generous with the fitting, you're absolutely getting what you're paying for imo. I've tried a few MtM companies and they really stand out and are worth the somewhat higher price.

    I'd never buy a made to measure suit online! Somethings so just have to do instore and buying a nice fitted suit is one of them! IMO you are best getting a well fitted suit off the peg (sizes and fits vary so much between brands) and then getting it tailored afterwards at your local dry cleaners.

    I have had great luck with Hockerty but like any MTM site you need to give them the right measurements. Using other people's measurements is a bad idea - use your own.

      I just checked their catalogue and was very surprised their cheapest suits, around 300€, are half-canvassed (not glued like this one). I had been conditioned to expect only glued suit under 400€. At that point it's a no-brainer, assuming you can find one that fits well of course.

  • @noobmaster-dm7tu

    Honestly, don't understand how their business model works- since almost everyone can claim that their suits don't fit- unless they have a really high mark up in the first place.

      Also depends where you are. American clubs and bars seem to be very different to UK, I’m nit really sure about other countries but if you’re in the UK then it Varys wildly what you’re allowed in with. In Liverpool for example a lot of places (not including the waterfront) let you in in Adidas Gazzells and Stone Island and stuff but in Manchester a lot of places will only let you in in shoes and no brand names. Most places seem to be ok with brands and say a pair of Vans or some sort of pump. London’s sickenly stricked and I remember once but it may have changed now there was a strip of pubs in Newcastle somewhere that wouldn’t let people with tattoos. So need to do your research as t9 where you’re going first and foremost.

    Stiamo parlando di abiti mediocri, fatti da una sartoria low cost, sarebbe come paragonare Ryan Air con Alitalia, ovvio che il viaggio lo fanno lo stesso...ma non è lo stesso viaggio. Non può un abito su misura costare al massimo quanto costa normalmente nelle sartorie tradizionali!

      If you think Ben is slim you should see me (and maybe can from my photo). Seriously you need to watch telling people they need to be a certain way. Many people will want to change their body out of low self esteem (that we all have at times). Changing ones body shape will often not resolve this though. Best thing is to go for optimum health (which may be a different body shape for different people)
