Hey Guys, I am new to the forum, and fashion forums in general. Let me start off by saying hello, and apologize if I am breaking any rules. I'm pretty active in Tech and Sports forums, and I know how annoying talking out of turn can be. That said, after reading some things on these boards, and...

After wrestling with options on OTR sizing on suit jackets for the past few weeks (with some help from the forum - thanks again), I've decided to have a couple MTM suits made this year to see if I'm happier with the fit. I'm about 90 minutes away from LS Men's Clothing, which seems to be a...

I'm thinking of going to CustomeMen for a new suit. They open at 10 on Sunday and are located on 57th Street in NYC; I have to catch a train at 34th St. at 11:00. Do I have time to get fitted for a suit? I do have a pretty good idea of what I want, I don't expect I'll spend a lot of time...

So this is kind of a weird question, but... all of the suits I bought between 2003 and 2009 or so, all off the rack, about 6-7 suits total, wore out in the crotch. These were all off the rack suts from Jos A Bank or Today's Man (!) or some place comparable. All wool suits. And they all wore...

I need one or two workaday RTW suits and see that Cordings have a good offer on. I've also heard good things about Ede and Ravenscroft. Do any members have experience of either or both, and which would they recommend?

Hey everybody, This is our first post on Ask Andy - so first of all, it's great to be a part of this forum. We've followed the topics here for a long time, and really value the advice everyone has to give. George Dunhill is finishing up work on it's Premier Collection, which we'll be launching...

I was just recentley looking at Mr. Deckard's website, and considering a purchase when I happened across an interestign feature on several of his displayed suits - the active back. I admit to being rather less knowleadgable about suiting then formal dress, but this innovation seemed qutie an...

I know he has been reviewed before, but I just picked up two custom suits from Ariel Tello of Tello's Tailor in San Bernardino, and I wanted to share my experience. I was looking for a well-made bespoke suit, but didn't want to pay $2k+, which rules out many of the suitmakers here in LA...

Friends, I have read many posts here about the shortcomings of HF Ltd. as opposed to HF mainline suits. The primary objection seems to be that HF Ltd. are only half-canvassed. However, the HF Ltd. seems to fit me far better than the HF mainline models, primarily the Madison, although I have...

What do y'all know about Hickey Freeman's "Vanguard" model? The model I tried on at Filene's had a slightly padded shoulder, high armholes, side vents, flat front trousers, and 6-inch drop. Reminded me a lot of Samuelsohn's Gable model, though maybe more flattering through the shoulders. Far...

I am looking to make some suits and I have been looking for some good fabric suppliers. Does anyone know some companies that deal direct with the mills and who the better mills are? Italy or England? I am located in NYC. Thanks! A

I recently went to Brooks Brothers and still saw a couple Madison 1818 suits on sale for $500 (including a black/white glenplaid w/side vents and ticket pocket). Is this a good price for this line of Brooks Brothers suit? Also, the BB website has these suit separates (wool and DOW XLA fiber) on...

I have been asked to give the keynote speech at the V&A in London in November about women’s tailoring and during my research I have found a fair degree of reticence amongst male tailors to accept women clients. It would be interesting to know of any experiences people have had out there, either...

Greetings, fellow forumites. As my newest post I'd like to ask your experience-based opinions on the most hard-wearing suits fabrics. Some background: I'm 22 and run a popular site dedicated to men's classic style. As tailors are few in my country, I've had the privilege to meet most of them...

Would like to know how many of you prefer side vented suits and how many prefer a center vent.

I've been reading through the forum posts a lot recently, and having learnt a lot it's time for my first post. So its back to work for me.... and my suit wardrobe, which consists of two decent but well used off the rail suits and two very average tailored suits made in Bangkok, needs updating...
