Suits You Sir: Drawing to a thrilling climax!
Dear all,
For a little while now, I have been awaiting delivery of my bespoke suit from those lovely people at bespokeway. Indeed one of you charming individuals has found the site presumably by doing a google search for that company, to see if they are actually any good.
I feel like I’m on Watchdog or something, giving consumer advice about dodgy kettles.
Anyway, the latest info I have is that my suit is in the country. More accurately, it’s at a DHL depot near Manchester and would be with me now had Jack Frost not monumentally spaffed over the road network.
I got a nice-ish email updating me about this on Monday (when the shipping log actually shows it arrived at UK customs):
“Dear valued customer,
Your item has been shipped out from our factory outlet in South Asia
and will require a signature on arrival. Please allow 4-6 working days
for delivery. In the very rare case, if there is anything that is not
up to your satisfaction, please give us the opportunity to resolve any
issues. As professionals we stand behind our work and within the
limitations of our return policy would do our very best to satisfy
each and every customer.
Item title: Suit
Courier Web address:
Airway bill/Tracking No.: XCXXXXXXXX (Please note that we take every possible care in packaging your
garments but sometimes the creases fall out during transit and you
need to Press/Dry clean your clothes before first use.
Should there be any problems with the tracking or delivery, please
feel free to contact us & we would be happy to help.
Kind regards,”
As always, I enjoy the personalised touch of “Dear Valued Customer”, and now with the almost preemptive strike that seems to say “your suit will look like we tried to make an origami badger out of wool, but failed”.
Still, there’s no denying that the suit has been made pretty quickly. Now we just need to find out if it’s been made pretty well or pretty badly.
Stay tuned dear readers- full review and maybe even exciting photos of yours truly will follow asap!
That was a incredible blog post,I recently subscribed to your rss feed.
Hello!
I didn’t manage to find your full review and the exciting photos so if you posted them a link would be very helpful for a possible bespoke.com client.
Thanks a bunch!
Alex.
Alex- many apologies, and I realise it’s almost a full year since the Bespokeway line of articles began. I actually never have got round to taking the photos or doing the more detailed response.
Next time I have access to a camera, and the time to do a full analysis, I will get them on here.
