Unusable nasty blazer.
Unusable cheap blazer. Made in China. Not the UK. When contacted to complain the response was ‘well it’s what you ordered!’. In fairness I did not see the cloth before the order. I asked many times for a sample. They refused. Now I know the reason / the cloth is cheap. But it’s a lesson / if you cannot see the cloth, then don’t order the jacket. They might be fine for a sweatshirt but not for a rowing blazer. They did ask me to point out the blazer was produced on time. This is true. It still cannot be used but it was not late. Avoid at all costs. Bruce and Marcus in particular

Hi Chris, We’re disappointed by your review, though not surprised given your earlier emails. To clarify for anyone reading: Your blazer was produced exactly to your approved specification, using our Year-Round Wool Fabric (280gsm) — a high-quality summerweight wool clearly described on our website and in the Order Pack you signed off prior to production. It is not cheap, and certainly not “unusable.” It was delivered on time, made to your measurements, and produced to a very high standard. We do offer heavier wools (such as our 450gsm winter wool), but that was not selected. As with all custom orders, fabric swatches are available during production for anyone who wishes to be more hands-on — this was not requested at the correct stage. As for manufacturing: we work with leading tailoring partners across Asia and Europe — the same facilities used by luxury brands. Comments implying that a product made outside the UK is somehow “cheap” are both inaccurate and regrettably familiar, especially in light of your previous reviews. We are proud to work with skilled makers around the world, and we expect our customers to treat all people involved in our process with respect — regardless of where they live or what language they speak. Anyone reading this is welcome to judge for themselves. Our fabrics are premium-grade, our process is transparent, and our garments are custom made to order with great care. – Marcus
