Okay,
I am deployed in Iraq and there are some custom tailors here. They seem to have pretty nice material, but I am hesitant to have a suit made here. The prices are like $250 for a suit, custom tailored. What do you guys think? I feel like i would be better off going to a brooks brothers outlet and having something off the rack fitted at a tailor. I had a bad experience having suits made in Korea. They gave me pleats (fucked up ones) when I wanted flat-front, and there is no way to fix it now. Obviously I can ask for flat front now, but I still worry about the quality of the suit. Should I be a brand whore or take a chance? I can't afford state-side bespoke.
Thanks,
GG

It's hard to believe that a suit costs $250 when just last week Bill Maher said you can get a blowjob from a child prostitute in Iraq for a buck.
Of course, that may have been a special arrangement worked out by Blackwater.

A buck? Sounds kinda high. Then again, you get shit cheap when you are carrying an assault rifle...or maybe I just lucked out.

Wow @ the video. Going to get that book.
As for the suit....bargain it down dude. I've learned bargaining is a key skill that you need in the M/E.
I had a suit tailored in Malaysia. Still going today and I LOVE the fit. It fits me perfectly and looks expensive. The quality is pretty good too but then I paid to get the best fabric.
Worth it in my opinion if you can inspect it your self.
Thats funny Edmundo.
Stay safe.

i had some kid in back office tailor me a suit once. looked like something the mens warehouse threw up. those kids cant get anything right...
Shouldn't there be others over there who've had suits made by the locals? I'd ask one of them
