Groupon- $799 Bespoke Suit + 2 shirts

http://www.groupon.com/deals/bespoke-fit-new-york…

What do you guys think of this deal? $799 for bespoke suit and 2 shirts (Scabal fabrics). Reviews on the place seem pretty good but would be interested in some other feedback.

Here is the site:

One of the suspect issues I saw at first is that they have 10 years of tailoring experience. That really is not a long time for tailoring experience. Most quality tailors are from Europe, and start tailoring around 10-15 years old. So if these guys are american (I've never met an American tailor) I am not sure how well they know tailoring. Also ask if the suits are full or half canvas suits. And ask about the quality of the wool. Super 120s, 130s , 140s ?

Wool count is in the 150's and 160's.

The tailor is name Vijay which doesn't sound American. Reviews are all really good.

Full canvas (from the website).

I'm not a huge fan of indochino's fabric. It's pretty cheap and the quality is hit or miss out of their Chinese tailor shops.

They have good customer service and you'll get a Macy's type suit that's generally fitted (after some trouble) to you for $300.

I've heard better things out of Bespoke Fit but not much, and not enough to justify almost 3x the price of Indochino.

 

Another issue is the fabrics. Scabal makes great fabrics, but I would call them and ask what fabrics are available. Chances are they aren't the whole range of fabrics they have in the store, and I would make sure they good looking, and aren't their ugly leftovers.

If it seems too good to be true, it usually is.
