@illo59 Upstanding guy! I wouldnt hesitate to deal with again. Thanks for my grail jacket!

@illo59:

Guys, i hope you can help me. Got this TFH 3002 second hand this weekend. It has about 30-40 wears and 2 washes. I hoped to shred and wash shit out if it but today i read somewhere the pioneer denim can shrink even more down the road. can anyone confirm this? Do i better stick to gentle soaks than regular machine washings? Fit is pretty spot in and on the tight (but not uncomfortable) side. Don‘t want to loose anything anywhere if possible. What do you think?

Ilo - I have a pair of pre owned 3002 as well and so far I've given them a hot soak and a machine wash on delicate, I believe between me and the previous owner we've gotten all the shrink out of them. It also sounds like you may have have gotten all the shrink out already if they were two hot washes.

For me, they initially feel tighter after the soak/wash but stretch right back out to pre wash size after a few wears. I hope this helps.

Where do people buy their suits from? I need one to interview. Looking for something decent that looks good, but not looking to spend like that RRL $$$$. I'm in nyc if you're recommending a physical store but I'm happy to do online as long as there's a good exchange policy.

I have a Hickey Freeman suit that I got from Nordstrom Rack. You're in nyc so should have no problem finding decent suits or stores that sell them. What's your budget?

That's a good idea to try Nordstrom Rack. I guess I'm looking to spend about $500 which seems average for suiting from what I can tell. I just need something I can wear like a couple times a year when I need to.

$500 is about what I paid for my HF suit. I think it's one of their MiUSA mainline suits. I've found Nordstrom Rack to be hit or miss in my neck of the woods, but you might have better luck with NR, Last Call or Off 5th in NYC as @Appfaff mentioned.

Suggest Suit Supply which has a store in Soho and Kent Wang if you want a MTM suit which they do very well.

@Max:

+1 on the IHM 15 I would buy any other colour / iteration that comes out

+2 I need at least one in my lyfe!

Fantastic! - Is Self Edge getting any?
