I recently bought a new Southwick suit from Tony the Tailor via internet special. I gave up up new Hickey freeman. I thought it special so I took the hour drive from San Antonio to Austin to visit Gassanne Tailors. I first heard about "Gus" Karim right her on AAAC as a bespoke tailor. I called ahead to see if he did alterations on outside garments and he said "of course, bring it in".
When I arrived at 10am I wasn't what I expected; a small shop in an older building. After walking in Gus greeted me personally. I took another suit that fit just right for comparison. He asked me to put it on and he took careful measurements. I put the new suit on and he measured again. He marked the sleeve length, pant hem, and pant waist. he suggested a week before it would be ready.
I told him it was ok but it might be several weeks before I could return as I was from SA. He talked to his brother Joseph and came back and told me to come back at 4pm. This is the guy who made suits for two Presidents, Governors, and Senators!
At 3pm he called and said it was ready. Perfect!
Call this a shameless plug but I'm just a regular guy. I highly recommend Gus.
