A Trad Confused

The journey of a bipolar Sartorialist.

36 notes

Really?! It hasn’t been a week yet.

I get a call today from a store in Palm Beach notifying me that the cashmere blackwatch tartan sport coat they ordered for me has come in.

A few points to think about.

1. This wasn’t custom made for me, I wouldn’t back away from a commitment like that.

2. It’s not really a stock item, they had a batch made up and they already sold the 42r. I expressed interest in it this past September so they made another one up.

3. I didn’t leave a deposit.

4. I can back out, but they may get a little peeved especially if they don’t sell it his season.

So am I breaking my vow of no new clothes or do I get a pass because it was technical ordered last year?

    Their mistake for not taking a deposit. However, you backing out is worse. Don’t be that guy.
