Don't ever order a "custom suit" online.

That's the conclusion of the author of An Affordable Wardrobe after Modern Tailor sent him a free suit. It's such a bad fit that he won't even post pictures. You should read the whole post, but here's the payoff quote:

Online tailoring is neither of these things [custom tailoring or off-the-rack], and it cheapens both. It proletarianizes custom tailoring to the point where it loses meaning, and it falsely elevates cheapness to the point where even that loses meaning.
