My close friend is getting married and needs one by early/mid Sept. Typical staple solid blue suit.
Let me know
Cheers

The construction is excellent. I'm working on trying to get my measurements sorted out (took it to a bespoke tailor who was extremely impressed with construction to help out with the measurements). I can't comment on the timeline or the finished product, but the sample suit is very well constructed.

I just got my completed custom suit a week ago.  I ordered the standard suit on April 2nd.  My order was improperly handled on two separate occasions.  

1.  I ordered a 40x30.  Three weeks after I ordered I was told another customer had that suit and I would get it in a week or so.  I never got it from that customer because he decided to keep it.  A month went by before I was told this.  It's not my fault the other customer wanted to keep it, why should I have to wait?  I didn't get my standard suit until early June.

2.  When I got my standard suit I was sent the wrong pant size... a 34 to be exact.  I could take those on and off without even unbuttoning them.  I had to wait another two weeks to get my pant size.  Oh yeah, and I had to pay for shipping to send back each time Kent messed up.  Moral: anticipate some screw ups from Kent's end.  

The custom suit is actually done very well.  I bought the Basic Navy twill.  Construction is solid and it is to my specifications.  I had my tailor change a few things, but it was very close to perfect.  I sent the measurement changes to Kent, so the next suit will be even closer to perfect.  I actually pick the suit up from my tailor today.  I will order again, because now that the headache portion is out of the way I can get a perfect fitting, well-constructed suit in three weeks.  

To answer your question, if you ordered the suit right now you will not get the custom one for at least eight weeks.  Unless there's some miracle, that's what's going to happen.  Add a week for tailoring after you get it.

This is absurd to me. Its one thing if you didn't like it, or the screw up was on your end. But for him to charge you shipping because of a mistake on their end? Ridiculous.

It should be SOP if things go awry on the sellers end, I shouldn't have to bring it up.  Plus, I don't sweat the small stuff.  I'd rather maintain a good relationship with the guy who is making my suits.  I shared my experience to inform others of what may happen, and because it was asked by another forum member.  I didn't volunteer information with the purpose of bashing Kent Wang. 

I'm not at all dissatisfied with the custom suit.  I do plan on ordering again.
