Hello,
Recently, I had to wear my AE Fifth Avenues in Dark Brown in a slightly muddy and salted environment. It has just snowed at a conference I was attending, and by the time I arrived, the parking lot had already been salted. I made a short walk from the car to the conference center, but...
I would repeat that Spier and Mackay claims to does not start with a block pattern and rather drafts individual patterns from scratch, as has been mentioned already throughout this thread. As I am not an expert on this, I cannot directly verify, but as this is in the realm of possibility and...
I'm just calling you out for saying an untruth.

I'll be looking to start an MTM process in Toronto. Definitely want an in-person fitting. Either half-canvassed or fully canvassed.
So far I've read the following sources:
Spier & Mackay
Indochino
Suit Supply
Harry Rosen
Garrison Bespoke
