Where do you get your bespoke suits?

No problem -- good luck!

design:

In NYC, there are tons of places, but only a few worthy of mention for true bespoke suiting (handstitching, the person who measures you, cuts the pattern, and fits you is the same person, multiple basted fittings, etc.). Lord Willy's, Leonard Logsdail, and David Reeves are all solid.

In the UK, obviously Savile Row is the place to be. Cad and the Dandy has their own apprenticeship program, IIRC, which I would assume would be easier to apply to than just walking up to a more established house like, say, Anderson & Sheppard or Henry Poole.

I am not familiar with that tailor but at that price point and even at the full price, it is unlikely you are getting a full bespoke suit. Also, bespoke does not necessarily mean better. Bespoke is only as good as the tailor and first glances suggest he most likely isn't. Another point that was a point of concern was that the suit is "canvas or fused according to fabric selection." There isn't a single respectable tailor who makes a fused "bespoke" suit. That being said, at that price point it could be worth the gamble. Good luck.

If I was in SF, I would buy that suit package.

I'd probably do a little research on them first, though

Depends on how much money you have to spend. Top two tailor houses in Hong Kong are A-Man Hing Cheong at the Mandarin Oriental and WW Chan. Full bespoke runs around $1100 USD or so.

I just ordered a bespoke from WW Chan on Saturday. $1600 USD for Ermenegildo Zegna. Hefty but the tailors were very professional and detailed. Garments were excellent. I think it's worth it to have at least one very nice suit that fits you perfectly from head to toe (and pray that you don't get fat too soon and can wear it for a long long time)

I would definitely get a four-season suit unless you have a lot cash to burn. Also ask them what is popular these days (e.g. angled jacket pockets vs. traditional, lining color etc.)

take a girlfriend/female friend with you.you'll thank me later;)

i was there recently...whatever you do, do not get one in itaewon (most of the tailors there tell you the suits are great but they are really just trying to rip foreigners off). I looked at a couple tailors and was not impressed, make sure they take 30+ measurements; if they take only 10 or so, then it is not really a custom (especially bespoke) suit, but rather a tailored suit from a common cut. you can find a lot of info by googleing this topic.
