[Taxamo Welf]

i'm taking a chance on ebay at the mo, the feed back is great, a slight gamble but if it pays off will be amazing as I can never get clothes to fit:

oh my, thats interesting! So, whats the dillio? You win the bid, send them your measurements, and they send you a suit? Thats mental cos there's one for only SEVENTY FIVE POUNDS.

You could always try making your own suit? It might be fucking difficult as hell, but you could give it a go. A friend of mine's (non-tailor) dad does this.

yeah i've just done it for a dress cos i'm taller than average (i'm a girly despite the user name) and the waists are all in the wrong place. my mate got one and it fit her like a glove so for 50 odd quid i figured it was worth the gamble.

i did the buy it now thing and sent off my measurements the other day, now all i have to so is wait. dead exciting

yeah so you send them your measurements, i asked them to send me pics of all the fabrics and colours available (not that many but hey who am i to be fussy for 50 quid). try different searches, custom suits, made to measure etc, i think theres quite a few of them....

why the fuck are you bumping a two year old thread??

Its time.

Tailored suit advice please, where, what and what price range.

I am up for being fairly creative, this is not a court or work suit, this is out of a love for suits. So past fashion movements are great. If there's a website that tells me about Mod and skinhead suits that's wicked but i'm up for being even more creative.

what do you know? TELL ME NOW!!

Old school anarchists used to wear suits to blend in and disguise the fact they were anarchists.

The fact that Taxamo Welf sold out to the Man two years ago is supposed to make me feel better?

I saw him not that long ago in a boozer in whitechapel. He wasn't wearing a suit although Ian Bone was in there and he was. He drinks posh wheat beer too.

How about a big bucket of ice cream? That makes me feel better when my heroes let me down
