I just wanted to crow a little about the dark blue broadcloth trousers that Chris Sullivan made for me over the Winter. In addition to the fine quality of the workmanship, there is the matter of fit. I have purchased two pair of officer pants from Chris (one sky blue, one dark blue), and they fit like he'd taken measurements in the flesh. While fit is not important really in enlisted garments, officers purchased their gear from private sources and the surviving photos often show men well-haberdashed. In the matter of enlisted men's clothing, I have purchased Chris's museum grade Deering contract trousers for myself, and for my strapping six-footer of a son, and both are excellent in construction and execution.
But most of all, Chris is good people and a pleasure to deal with. I wish to take nothing away from the many other fine vendors that hang out here and are well-known, but felt obligated to speak out for the man who is both a fine tailor AND a friend. This isn't meant to be part of the "who makes the best...." debates, but simply to say that you can buy from Chris with no worries and will receive a superior product with unexcelled service.
