This is my first post on the forum - just wanted to say this is a great place and it's helped me out a lot.
I'm considering purchasing a custom made suit and have found some info researching old threads but was looking for something of a compendium on the topic. I was wondering if anyone had a list of places they know to be quality, any experiences they could share etc. (or a link to a thread I may have missed) I live on long island but spend a lot of time in NYC so anything between the two will work. My new tailor is out here on the island and makes custom suits but I'm not sure If that's the way I should go or not; I have to pick something up later in the week so I'll try to get some specifics.
Any advice on what I should look for, ask, avoid etc would be great. I don't have a price range per-se but assume it will be somewhere around $1000. At that price should I just look for a deal on something like a Hickey Freeman and have it tailored or go custom, even if I have to spend a bit more? My main issue is that I have broad shoulders (relative to neck and chest) and an 8 inch drop. Thanks.
