The Japanese Bespoke Tailoring Thread
I don't like talking about price, because I think that you should choose a bespoke tailor based on the tailoring style, design details and relationship of trust. Also, even at cheaper prices bespoke tailoring is still expensive for a lot of people, and ordering while overseas is not easy. But...- Destination_Arubin

The Japanese Bespoke Tailoring Thread
Dude that's so cool! I've always thought that if I get anything from Tailor Caid that it would be a navy blazer, or a grey tweed herringbone sport coat, or maybe even a camel-coloured blazer. Would love to know what details you chose! Classic sack suit cut with narrower lapels? Buttons? Pocket...- Destination_Arubin

The Japanese Bespoke Tailoring Thread
Thanks to everyone who recommended Kuzuri Keori’s Dominx bunch. I managed to get my hands on it, and to see it for myself. There are many Japanese mills that I would like to learn more about, including Miyuki, Yamaei Keori and Kunishima (which I mentioned in a previous post). All are based...- Destination_Arubin

You'd need to check directly with Tailor Caid to be certain, but my tailor Coccinella does do that for overseas clients. The website says the third fitting is at delivery. I definitely think it's a possibility.- Destination_Arubin

The Japanese Bespoke Tailoring Thread
Tailor Caid is cool, and has quite a broad range of tailoring styles from different historical references. In the future I might get a navy sport coat from them. The one I have right now is Florentine in style, so it might be cool to get something in a different cut, with more structure through...- Destination_Arubin

@__k, I was browsing through my collection of photos, and I found this jacket from W.W. Chan. It's a very similar Holland & Sherry fabric from the Moorland Tweed bunch to the one that you chose. I think you'll enjoy your jacket from Archies very much!- Destination_Arubin

The Japanese Bespoke Tailoring Thread
I mostly dress very practically, and in your climate yes I think you'd have limited use for a heavy tweed. I prefer tweeds for the visual texture and depth of colour, but I wouldn't select it if it wasn't practical. I like worsted tweeds (I have one myself), and with an overcoat on top, can wear...- Destination_Arubin

The Japanese Bespoke Tailoring Thread
I haven't heard of Cockney Tailor, but Ichibankan is famous. I haven't had any experience with either. Ichibankan has provided suits for past prime ministers and Vick Tailor, a Tokyo bespoke tailor previously trained there. You should post pictures of your suits! Would be a good reference for...- Destination_Arubin

The Japanese Bespoke Tailoring Thread
I don't think it's possible to get something bespoke completed in less than three weeks, but an initial and basted fitting might be possible depending on the tailor. First, I think you should narrow down on the tailoring style that you'd like to get. Here's a google-translated list of tailors...- Destination_Arubin

The Japanese Bespoke Tailoring Thread
According to the wiki page that I posted in the first post of this thread, there are about 11 English-trained tailors and 15 Italian-trained tailors in the Greater Tokyo region. There's another twenty or so domestically trained bespoke tailors, which at a guess I'd say lean to structured...- Destination_Arubin

Yes that's definitely fair! I can understand your reservations about Dorso's style (especially from the pictures in the link you posted, and yes that's my info source :)) and as you said, for bespoke especially, there are many, many great options. @__k, did you end up visiting Sartoria Icoa and...- Destination_Arubin

Dorso (Riki Saito) looks to be a MTM maker, with perhaps the option for Saito-san to cut the pattern and ask an external maker to sew the garment together. Not sure how much handwork there is in the garments but at least the lapels are machine stitched. Delivery is three months after order...- Destination_Arubin

The Japanese Bespoke Tailoring Thread
What a cool shop! The shop and surrounding shopping arcade look to have such a nice atmosphere! It's written that there's a lot of handwork in the make and there is a baste fitting too which isn't always typical of MTM. The cut of the suits too looks a little bit more traditional in terms of...- Destination_Arubin

The Japanese Bespoke Tailoring Thread
Thank you! Really appreciate the comments. I often watch the youtube channel run by Sato-san of Pecora Ginza. Sato-san gives great insight into fabrics he’s worked with, and what catches his eye each season. It’s possible to watch his videos with machine-translated subtitles, although it has...- Destination_Arubin
