    any of you john wick types need a suit?

    I'm sure someone here, at some point has mentioned these guys, but I do not recall a thread on these specific threads. So here you go:

    Probably out of my price range for the rare occasion that I need a suit, but I like it!

    Damn.

    I keep threatening that I’m going to dress like an adult when I get a real job.

    But come on, I doubt I’m giving up my black t-shirts, cargo shorts, and shoot-me vests any time soon...

    But you know...a man can never have too many tailored suits...or shirts...or pants.

    Especially tailored shirts. My shirt guy said to me, “Once you wear a hand tailored shirt, anything off the rack will be garbage.” He was right.

    It looks like a slight cut above the various other action oriented suits that I have run into. The "action shoulders" option looks pretty out of place on a suit in that price range, but some of the other touches are kind of neat/useful. My main question here is about the construction; on one page it says "And we take that heritage seriously. Our suits are made half-canvassed with a sewn ‘floating’ chestpiece. And under the plane trees of Shanghai’s French Concession..." while elsewhere it says "A sewn full canvas provides structure and a natural drape from the shoulder all the way down to the end of the jacket." I may be comparing apples and oranges, but since it there appears to be only one suit that you can configure without creating an account, it raises questions about one of the principal quality features of the product and what they are actually making.

    That said, I have not had any trouble having a tailor in the US put in a holster patch or larger belt loops, or some of the other features. I generally add an additional layer of distrust for anything that is overtly and specifically marketed towards intel (leo/mil are a different thing). As a general rule, things that advertise "this is made for Spies!1!!" are not usually purchased in volume by people who actually are in the business of working with clandestine sources.

    I am also slightly curious that they say the suits are made in Shanghai, advertised and sold through a website with a Colombian domain, for a new business that seems to have their hq office in Toronto.

    Sounds like they’re a porn company subsidiary. I knew their hipster/operator guy looked familiar.

    But hey, they had me at "dapper" and "cut-resistant sleeves. I mean, who doesn’t want a hot looking suit with stabby up armoring for their next Irish/Italian wedding?

    I see it as a slightly over-zealous marketing department. The marketing of a practically designed suit a step above men's warehouse/jos a banks fully fused wonders to LEO/Mil is awesome and something that I would love to encourage, especially since I am exactly on the x of their targeted demographic. If they actually deliver what they advertise, at the price they are advertising, it is interesting to me.
