For the majority of my self-aware life I’ve been interested in menswear and have therefore always looked forwards to eventually going custom.
The problem with that of course is that I was, am, and am still going to be for a while, young.
While I’m currently fortunate enough to work a fairly well paying job that often requires tailoring as part of the dress code (e.g., I can afford it and it has a purpose), part of me (perhaps the same part that hasn’t upgraded my daily-driver PC for 9 years) is telling me not to.
What do you guys think? A deal of my reluctantly comes from the fact that there are many OTR or cheaper MTM offerings now that seem to offer the (previously rare) cut I’m interested in. Even SuitSupply seems to be getting in on it.
I had a consultation with Saman Amel recently, and, if I were rich would’ve bought an entire wardrobe from him, but as it stands currently, would it be worth it to at least pull the trigger on my first high-MTM suit from him or a roughly equivalent house?
