I have a major dilemma. I am in the market for a new suit or so. Right now I am torn between a nice J. Press Pressidential. 110's Midweight charcoal herringbone 95% Wool 5% Cashmere. I really just wanted to stand there and pet the suit all day.

It really fits me right off the shelf better than everything else i have found. My only complaint is that the rise on the pants is a bit long for me. Roughly 750ish on sale.

Until i saw this suit today, I was set on getting a Mr. Ned suit (NYC Tailor). I have not been to his shop, so i don't know about the fabrics or price points for everything, but was willing to take the plunge based upon everything i have read here. it is roughly in the same ballpark price wise from what i can gather on here.

Thoughts, comments, suggestions? Help. Is the deal on the Pressidential better than what i am going to get from Mr. Ned?

Thanks in advance.

Having had 2 suits made for me by Mr. Ned, my advice to you is to buy the J. Press suit if it fits you well and you like it (and it seems that it does and you do). The rise on the pants can be shortened.
