Impossible to Fix

“Impossible to Fix”

Written on: 18/11/2011 by Macossay

I ordered a linen jacket from these folks. Good points: The lining was of good quality, the workmanship of the sewing was excellent, and the sleeve length was correct. Bad points: None of the other measurements were correct.

I had taken the measurements of my best fitting sport coat and sent it to them. The sport coat they sent back did not match these measurements. I took it to a tailer to see if it could be altered, but he told me the length was so short, the shoulders so wide, and the neck so high, that it couldn't be fixed. Although it was supposed to be a natural linen blend, the material looked fake, like a woven plastic shower curtain, and was too stiff to drape well. It really looked too bad to wear, and I dropped it into a charity clothing bin. I hope it is keeping some homeless person warm
