Well, I will need something like 6-8 suits, I am looking for something classic but as I am thin I think a sharp cut will work fine.

 

I took a time to read some opinions in past threads, next month I will be in London, so I will start with Huntsman and A&S and probably check Kiton and Brioni stores too.

 

Thank you for the answers.

If you're looking at Huntsman and A&S in London, you could also check out Richard Anderson (ex-Huntsman) and Steed (ex-A&S), both of whom are mentioned in clothing forums as well.

 

And if you do go through with it, I'd love to see some photos.

Interesting the choices you made. They are all such different silhouettes with differing looks and methods of construction.

I didn't make any choices yet, I will try out this ones first, and so see what fits me better.As I will take 6-8 suits, I think is reasonable to get different looks, maybe I will split this order with 3 tailors, 2 british and 1 italian.

Is this some sort of a work release program?

Ballmouse, does Richard Anderson and Steed offer a great price/quality compared to Huntsman and A&S?

Despos, I didn't make any choices yet, I just will start for this ones and check which fits me better.Anyways, I will probably take 6-8 suits, so I think is rassonable to split the order, I might get 4 british and 2 italian, don't know exactly yet.

Not if you get them altogether in one room. Then, they become a Dream Team, like the opening credits in The Six Million Dollar Man.

Just imagine it: a suit with every feature. A fly with buttons and zipper. Center vent? Yes...but side vents, too. Soft shoulders with military flair.

Turnback cuffs so expertly sewn that the naked eye can't see them...you need a microscope!

A high powered one, the kind from Germany.

If you went to London and have lots of dough, go to Anderson & Sheppard in Savile Row you dig! For shirts, Turnbull & Asser. Also they got T&A in NYC and Los Angeles as well. smile.gif

If I get a customer asking for 6 or 8 suits, I would encourage them to try 1 especially if the supposedly have not had bespoke suits before. Someone who comes into a tailoring room and orders 6 or 8 suits would usually be too good to be true
