Finding a tailor (Austin, TX)
Hi all,
I recently took delivery of my first tailored suit from a Tom James consultant, and really happy with it. However, I am wondering if what I paid ($1100 for Suit, shirt, tie, vest) is too much compared to what I might get from another shop or independent tailor.
I am in need of a few shirts and slacks. For belts and shoes, I go to Allen Edmond and I'm real happy with that. But the shirt/slack choices I am not sure where to go, or if I should just buy from the Tom James guy who makes it real easy, or if I should find a new tailor, or if I should just go for stuff off the rack (I really hate shopping).
I'm in Austin, and would love a referral, if even just to comparison shop.
Honestly, at that price range, you get better quality suiting off the peg from specialty purveyors. Tom James is mediocre quality and really bland.
I'll assume you're a youngish guy and that off the rack clothes can look great on you with some basic tailoring.
Check out Ring Jacket/The Armoury collaborations [when on sale]. Quality and style blew me away! Canali on sale is great too.
If you're still hell bent on custom clothes in your price range, take a look at My Tailor (shitty website and marketing, but a great product) as they do trunk shows around the US
