I am seriously considering this outfit to make some new hard wearing, basic work work suits for me. They come to New York often, and offer a bespoke pattern with multiple fittings, cut in London, and sewed in India, for about 1,200 pounds. For me, this could fill a need. I don't really mind where the suit was sewed as long as it fits, looks and performs well.
In my $~2,300 price range, Chan can be great for some people but, I am not completely happy with my fit through them and their lack of CMT service, Gordon Yao doesn't do multiple fittings and NSM is too southern italian for my taste so I am looking at alternatives.
Does anyone have experience with this shop?
A little googling will turn up their website, but here is the bit on this India service..Seems like a good plan, I remember Thomas Mahon offered some I]ndian sewing for MTM at one point as well.

"The Classic Bespoke aims to offer a completely hand made bespoke suit at a lower cost.
To ensure this unique goal, we have setup a unique workshop in India, where handpicked craftsmen from our rehabilitation program are trained to the exacting standards found in Savile Row. The program is an ongoing collaboration between our tailors in London and in India and our master tailors from London travel on a frequent basis to India to ensure the highest standards are met and maintained.
Each garment that is made under this program is made to identical standards as those made in London and checked by one of our master tailors in London before delivery to a customer.
The Classic Bespoke follows the same fitting process as our Savile Row Bespoke. Customers are measured and fitted in London by our cutter who cuts the pattern in London. The pattern, cloth and trimmings are then sent to our India workshop for assembly before returning to London for the first fitting. Multiple fittings ensure a perfect fit. The suits include all the details found in our Savile Row Bespoke suits.
Suits from £1,250 not including VAT"
