    MTM in NYC?

    I used to like Black Lapel, but the quality got worse and worse with each garment. I'm planning to try Monsieur Brunold in the Village/NoHo area in a few days. Does anyone have experience with them?

    I gutted a $500 suit jacket to see how it's constructed

    I have no idea why this is so awesome, but it is. Excellent post!

    Made to Measure Suiting

    Speaking of better options, what MTM suits do people recommend in New York? I'd like to limit my spending as much as possible, but I also want to look good and have the garment last.

    Manhattan Sales Alert!!

    That's been my experience, too. Hence why I likely won't go.

    Manhattan Sales Alert!!

    I may check out the Kiton sale, although I need a like a 38 with an 8 inch drop, so it might be a waste of time. Do you guys know when (if) Barney's and Saks hold their end-of-summer suit sales, and if those are done in the same stores? I need several more suits for next summer, and I figure...

    Tailors who will significantly alter suits in Manhattan?

    I have a few suits that I got at exceptionally low prices ($10, $20) that I would like to have altered considerably. I'm talking redoing a jacket to match a sloped shoulder, changing the rise of trousers, and other similarly involved work. Because I got these suits so cheap (they were at...

    Custom/MTM suits for not too much in NYC?

    To clarify, Black Lapel did a pretty good job for 700, but it's a half canvas and a tad too fashion suit for my tastes. What do you recommend around $1600-1800, and what do you get for the money?

    Custom/MTM suits for not too much in NYC?

    I'm looking to get some suits made in New York, preferably for no more than $1000 each. I realize that rules out the real bespoke makers. I'm just slightly oddly shaped -- 39" chest and ~31" waist with a sloped right shoulder -- such that off the rack options don't sit right on me, even with...

    Best suit jacket alterations NYC New York City

    I've had great experiences with Dash Tailoring on East 81st Street in Manhattan.

    Manhattan Sales Alert!!

    I don't know. I don't have much experience with their products. The Eidos stuff might've worked better, but the selection was very slim - they had one 48 that was clos, but it was literally slashed open. And the Isaia stuff seemed to be for men with more average or slightly pudgy builds. To...

    Manhattan Sales Alert!!

    Thanks for the heads up! The selection was not great. Lots of garments, but a lot seemed questionable (weird buttons, cut-open non-functional boutonnieres, etc.). There was almost no Eidos stock. More importantly, for me, everything was way too big and boxy. The sale Isaia suits were still...

     Yeah, I lost 40 pounds. That's what did it for me.

    Greenfield on Gilt

    Revising because Gilt is doing MG suits again. I'm curious to get a 38, but I'm worried at 6'1" it'll be too short (they seem not to sell long sizes). Does anyone know what heights these suits are meant to fit?

    Barney's Warehouse Sale

    It was on Sixth Avenue and just south of 19th Street (I think), on the west side of the street. Just a little storefront. The Brioni suits and jackets were the most notable things there, but they were very limited in size.

    Barney's Warehouse Sale

    And in general, how does one hear about these warehouse sales? I passed a place in Chelsea today selling Brioni suits at deep discounts, but apparently they sold out of my size very early in their process. I'd love to know about these things in advance.

    Seeking advice on Suit Supply and their sizing for first suit purchase

    You must go to the store to see, but an SS 34 or 36 should fit you fine (they were trying to push a 36 regular on me, even though I'm 6'1", and aside from being short it wasn't too far off). The Sienna likely will work for you. But again, do see it in person. You may not like how their suits are...

    Rory Duffy Bespoke - A Savile Row master tailor in NYC

    From the Daily Beast article. Quote: Of course, a tailor could likely clothe such men in a made-to-measure fashion for far less money. And for most of us, who by statistical definition have close to "normal" body types, off the rack suits plus a quick trip to the tailor is sufficient. As much...

    When can I get a J. Crew Ludlow suit on sale?

    I'll look to J. Crew next. I just picked up a Reiss summer suit today, and I was shocked at how good it is for the money (they were having a 70% off sale, which certainly didn't hurt). I'm a trim, lanky man (6'1", 160 lb, ~38.5" chest and ~32" waist), and the Reiss slim cut 38 fit me very...
