Got my first package of clothing
(asked trevor to send 3 different packages one first of each of the types of clothing so I could try on the sizes and see how everything fits)

anyways there are definitly some size differences, example:

I fit nice and snug in the burberry polo XL .. (I wear a M gen burberry)
The Lacoste L is a little big for me .. (I wear a L gen)
The other burberry XL is perfect size. .. (again I wear a M)
and the Polo L is perfect size. .. (this one is actually spot on haha)

:)

So far al I can say is I'm more then impressed with the quality from Trevor
both in customer service and in product.



So after a wash and dry the sizes are still about the same size which is obviously a good thing.



I emailed trevor about one of the burberry polo's because the checkered pattern is diagonal, but on his site it shows them as horizontal. (diagonal is a dead give away that its a fake)
well see what he does to fix the problem. - up until now he has been great to me so I can't imagine it will be any different.

anyways here;s the rest of the stuff,
I cant complain.
good stuff good price good service !

I was at a conference this weekend and wore all of them except the burberry one I posted up top, (with the diagonal checker pattern).

Sitting next to ppl wearing the real stuff comparing my clothing to there's truth be told.. you couldn't see or feel a difference in clothing. Even the logo's look correct, now if you look at it from 1/2 an inch away or though my macro shots you'll see some differences, but in real life you WILL NOT be able to tell a difference.

The Lacoste shirts have the correct type buttons which you'll see in the pics, that was a nice surprise :)

Seventh, I know a lot of people have been wondering about these so thanks for posting such a nice review for us.

And now I have to ask--how did you convince the other people to let you feel up their shirts?

So I was actually thinking of explaining that in my original post, but I figured I'd just let ppl take it for what it is.

its kinda odd... but we all went out for drinks after the conference and one of the guys split beer on his coat and shirt, took it off (ppl were very merry at this point)
and stayed in his shirt that he had on under the lacoste polo shirt.

Anyways while it was off... I walked over to it and compared it to the one I was wearing haha.
felt the same :) .. good quality fabric

Thanks for the post. It's very timely for me...was just about to order some Burberry shirts from Trevor. I ususllay wear a L in polos. I would have ordered size L. Now I know to up the size a bit. :)
Also, ordered a pair of LV shoes from Trevor a couple months back. They fit well and are of good quality.

Can you post a pic of the shoes ?
I was wondering how his shoes were but held out of em till I could see how the clothing was.

again.. I wouldnt buy a burberry polo atm from trevor.
( a burberry dress shirt is fine )

the polo he sent me has diagonal stitching (see the pic on the first post)
which is a dead give away that its a fake.

... its ok though because non of the people I know will know that, but still waiting to hear back from him if this was a problem w/ just this one shirt or if all of the burberry polo's suffer from this (his pics show the correct horizontal cross checkered pattern).
(I have 3 other burberry shirts waiting to be sent by him.. if they are not the correct horizontal pattern I'm guna switch them for more polo's and Lacoste shirts... or maybe a few burberry dress shirts :) )

I am thinking of ordering some of the burberry dress shirts from him. Does dress shirt sizing run standard? I wear a 16.5 so hopefully if I order that it will be gtg.

I only got 1 dress shirt from him thus far.

I ordered a XL and it fit me perfectly
(little big at first but I put it in the dryer for a while and now its perfect)
my neck is like a 15.5 I think.... plenty of room still so you should be fine.
(none of the shirts are meant to be put in the dryer, even the gens)

hope that helps.

I usually have all of my shirts dry cleaned so that isn't any big deal I just saw the price of 18 bucks and hell if they are decent shirts I might as well go for it instead of spending 100 or more for decent shirts at the department store.

Good old Trevor got back to me.

Said that the same factory produced runs of horizontal checkered patterns (like gen)
and diagonal checkered patterns (dead give away its a fake.. but I think it looks better ha)

anyways I asked him to please find for me only those with the horizontal checkered pattern and he said he could do that but it might add a week or so to the time it takes to ship out the packages.

I told him not to worry, I'd rather have a week added to the shipping then a bunch of obviously fake shirts
:)

anyways like I said before, he's been more then helpful, very kind and what I have received so far has been great quality.

!

About to put in an order for a ton of stuff - Trevor has said if I don't like the fit he will exchange them for me. Just have to figure out the details for shipping (he wants 3 packages @ $25 each but I can't afford that so I'm trying to find a workaround). Will let you guys know when we figure it out!

I have a montblanc wallet and money clip from him. I'm fairly certain both are fantasy peices, but no one knows that since not many ppl know much about montblanc other then the symbol, name and its pricey haha.

The wallet has held up quite well (had it since xmas) and the money clip is prob my fav. great build quality and gotten many positive comments on it.

I would listen to Trevor about the shipping.
Customs might let watches through.... but shirts and such are much bigger.
My package of 5 shirts was quite large. Its better then having customs snag the package w/ all the merchandise in it and then being fined for it.
I took the 3 package route, but also had him send one package first w/ 5 bits of clothing so I could verify my correct sizes and then send the other 2 packages w/ the remainder of clothing.
I feel thats the best option when dealing w/ rep clothing.

Thanks for the reply bro,

I think 5 shirts wouldnt be that bulky.

Ive had 5 shoes in one big box sent, no problems.
Although i think it depends on the country...

Thanks for the tips. I am going to request he send a package with one of the dress shirts and one of the Lacoste polos so I can try the sizes out and then place the large bulk order.

Did he charge you multiple times for shipping (once for the test package, and then twice for the other two packages) ?

Thanks man
