I'm looking into getting a new grey suit, subtle pattern to the fabric and possibly 3 piece, and was shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I would be able to get a MTM from HSM for $699. I'm wondering if this is a good deal or for the money should I look else where. I have a figure that not many suits fit well. Is there a better MTM for the price that would be feasible in Dallas?

This is the best time to do MTM. Its almost 33% off for really good MTM. If you want the best go for Hickey Freeman. Its fully canvassed where HSM is 1/2 canvassed.

I am ordering 3 Hickey Freeman suits and 1 HSM Sportcoat

I know they talked about having three pieces available for customization on the original price, between the pick stitching, ticket pocket, surgeon cuff, lining etc.. Do you know what you are choosing for yours?

I have all my suits made by Hickey Freeman. I have 10 at this point and adding these 3:



2 piece. Pick stitching, on the fence for ticket pocket. Double vent and flat front trousers




3 piece. Pick stitching, no ticket pocket. Vest with lapels, double vent and flat front trousers




Double breasted. No pick stiching, ticket pocket. Flat front trousers

I dont have a picture of the SC fabric but a loud gunclub fabric with brown, taupe, and green

Nice. I will have to check it out. Do you know when the sale ends?


If you have a Nord card starts this Wednesday if not then it starts on the 19th. First come first serve. If you go towards the end of the sale fabric running out is highly likely as well as it could take a lot longer than 6 weeks. Sale officially ends on August 4th.

Where do you live?

Thanks much for the info justinkapur! I live in the Atlanta area (no Nord card though).

Sorry for my ignorance, are you talking about "MTM" options that are different than the suits shown on the website under the anniversary sale (which all appear to be off the rack to me, but perhaps I'm mixing up my terminology here).
