Hi all,
I'd thought I'd start a list that people can add to in which we could add sutlers and merchants in which you've had a good experience with and that you would have no problem referring business to. This isn't a list to bash sutlers or make negative comments, there are other forums for that ;so positive comments only.

1) Orchard Hill : will go out of the way to help people

http://www.orchardhillsutlery.com

2)Starbuck hats :fast great service and good communication, took back a hat and resized it

3) Stoney Brook trousers :took time to make sure I was getting the right fit, called me at home to get more information to make sure I was ordering what I needed.Offered to resize if didn't fit right after wearing trousers for a while :Overall a great experience

4) E.J. Thomas : ordered several things and always had good communication and very fast service

Chris Sullivan is amazing.

After I bought a pair of Museum Grade Federal trousers, I mentioned the fact that I had a pair of Jarnagins (my backup and work-around-the-house pair) which needed work, and he told me to send 'em in.

He reworked the cuffs so that the split fell over the top of the shoe (rather than on the side), and mended a tear which I hadn't even noticed. All for the princely sum of nine bucks.

Can't beat that with a stick.

Just received my third Nick Sekala forage cap. (Too many is never enough.)

He's got a new website on which he's worked very hard.

http://njsekela.com/OSCommerce/catalog/

You can register on Nick's site and be informed of any new stuff. You do not have to purchase anything in order to register. Also, you can leave feedback - a review of a product purchased.

CJ Daley is another Quality Tailor to consider. He has made me a complete uniform (Undershirt, shirt, vest, sack, and trousers), along with some other miscellany.
