Sadly... (actually, I'm quite proud), those measurements are pretty accurate - give or take an inch in the waist depending on how much water I am holding.

Obligatory douche bag selfy in dirty mirror... actually, I took that photo before elbow surgery (note pointy elbow), but you get the point. :

MTM Suits typically take 5-6 weeks. Start at $595 for some standard colours like Navy, Grey which we stock ourselves. Can go up to $995 for some Super 180's. Your build is a difficult fit.

Thank you very kindly for the quick reply.

Do I need to make an appointment for a custom fitting, or can I stop by during regular business hours?

Appointments are always better, but you can stop in during regular hours. I'll personally be back after the 27th.

@caltech30 Let us know how your MTM turns out. Your drop will indeed be difficult to fit but I'm sure Spier & Mackay will be able to work with you to get a great fit!

Damn, @caltech30! Bringing out the big guns. Have you tried contacting Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock) to see where he gets his tailoring? He pulls off suits well for a hulking guy! Anyway, point is that it can be done, but looks like it will be difficult to keep normal looking suit proportions with your build.

@spiermackay Are you guys getting any 15 1/2 slim fit shirts soon? Not much selection left in that size from what I see on the site.

Thanks.

Are the royal twill and pin oxfords the same one for customs?

Yes. Same supplier. Same Quality.

Any updates on cotton twill for MTM chinos?

We just got some from a supplier and sampling the quality now. Will find out how the wash/wear in a couple of weeks.

Rick,
Is this Royal Twill any different from the one that was already in the web store but listed for $10 less? The images look similar but impossible to tell if they're the same.
