    TF details on a MTM suit in NYC area?

    I am looking to have some new suits made. Even if things go as planned, I'm still several years away from being able to spend $5-8k on a Tom Ford suit. However, I do like many of the details of the Tom Ford suits, including the aggressive shoulders and waist suppression, although the lapels are...

    A Sportcoat Wardrobe

    I know I'm late to the party, but I just had to comment on how much I love holdfast's collection. Definite sartorial envy here.

    How many suits to get by on?

    first get your present suits altered. for four grand you can get 6 nice suits and all the shirts ,ties,belts etc you need .that is if you shop the sales wisely. remember, "fit comes first" you can buy the most expensive suit. but if it fits badly it looks like crap. I definitely don't plan on...

    How many suits to get by on?

    I work in an quasi-casual atmosphere. Most wear business casual, but a good number are in suits everday. I want to move from the former to the latter. Considering ordering a few custom suits (Chan? Mytailor.com?). At $1kish I could probably afford 3-4 suits right now, but would it not look...

    Bespoke suits out of college

    and I would absolutely not spend that money. You only make $60k base and maybe 60k in bonus (it was more this year, but they were records..it won't be like that next year). Buy two suits and you're out 10k. Thats about 12% of your after-tax income...and that assumes that you don't contribute...

    Custom shirts in NYC?

    Well ... seeing as how you've just informed every New York shirtmaker that you're basically a f...wad, good luck. OMG! THEY WILL RECOGNIZE ME BY MY ANONYMOUS INTERNET ID WHEN I WALK IN THE STORE!!!! OMG YOU ARE RIGHT!! WHY AM I NOT AS SMRT AS YOU?!?!?!

    Custom shirts in NYC?

    I want to go the Jantzen or MyTailor way for shirts, but don't want to mess around with having to make repeated corrections...especially not at 4+ weeks from order to delivery. I'd like to buy one shirt (or as it seems many places have a 3 shirt minimum...3), then send that off to get copied...

    Any source for quality pants?

    I don't know. Less than $150?

    Any source for quality pants?

    Basically, my collection of pants is sorely lacking, and of poor quality, in comparison to my collection of button down shirts. My work environment is business casual, and I would like to look a bit better put together, but for some reason I struggle when it comes to finding pants. I can't buy...
