Hi Guys,
I agree mens jackets are not up to scratch. I have a few made up just up from TJ's in poppies 1 and on my second trip last year had a few made up at Janoko in poppies 2 (after reading advice in the BTF).
I specifically asked the tailors how i wanted the jackets made - with extra lining within the collars and lapel sections to give it some strength. Told him i would pay extra. The pants came back sensational. The jackets came back pretty much the same way as last time. The salvos now have the jackets, but the pants are just fine for work.
Hope this helps.
PS Had a few corduroy jackets made up and they are fine. Suit jackets are the ones that don't quite look right. Please dont flame me about this comment....as i do realise you get what u pay for.
