Those are some sweet, sweet pairs.
By the way, anyone know anything about this shop: http://thmade.com/
Found them on the webs, and the website looks pretty cool. Not heard of them before, so I guess their new?
If you're the right size Bill, give jok a shout. I believe he's received a few pairs and his inventory looks to be growing each time I visit.I think Vass might be a great shoe for me, a noob whose 'stable' is 2 pairs of AE derbies from which I'd like to step up. I'm not in love with the coloring of Carmina's brown shoes as they appear on webpages and the shoes that call to me the most would be the EG Chelseas which are very expensive. Vass without shipping, duty or brokerage (and at 15% off via jokb) might be the right play for me as people on this forum seem to love them. So ... Cool!

Ideally I'd pay not more than $300-400. But I tried that with some tailors in Thailand (Rajwonse and Lucky & Oscar) and wasn't impressed,and same for the travelling tailors. Initially I thought they were great, but then I started buying more and realized the quality of construction and fabric really was not very good. And they didn't last at all. I'll admit it took me years to figure that out though.
So I realized you have to pay for quality, so now I generally hope to get something around the $1k price range. I'm happy to pay up to $2k for a really good suit, if it's a nice fabric from Ariston or something, and generally okay to pull the trigger on anything up to $1.5k.
I'd obviously like to keep it as closer to $1k as possible, because by my rough calculations, that gets me double the number of suits as paying $2k. Generally, I'm okay as long as it fits good, is well made and I like the fabric. So it's cool if its $1.5k - especially if the shop seems responsive and would take care of me if anything goes wrong. I think there are enough options out there now, thankfully, that this price range opens me up to enough good options in the MTM. Just need to find it.

I have to guess you don't work Bay St. ish. Because if you did, you would know who Tom James is. Not because you should, but because they would have called you. And called you. And called you. And then maybe, in a moment of weakness, you would have said alright, I'll give it a try and bought something. And then you would have regretted it...
Looks pretty good, this will be worth a check-out. Thanks @Odd I/O

Ariston has been around for a while I believe, but it's gotten a lot more popular in recent years. I think it's been bought out, or financed by, an American PE shop and they are marketing and distributing it a lot harder. It's just another option, and they generally have some nice windowpane/ glenplaid patterns - close to what you might get for Isaia. Seen some really nice winter weight wool/cashmere blends from them. Nothing you couldn't necessarily get from Holland & Sherry, but it's a good option. Price point is up there though.
^^^ What he said. I have several Samuelsohn suits and sport coats, both off the rack and MTM. Very happy with them indeed.

That a good idea, the current tall boot I have, the theresianer light suede in U last, has a double to single configuration and IMO it doesn't look bad. For an F last boot, I agree that a full double sole, makes the boot look more complete. Since it's a dressier boot, I'm thinking of doing an oxford model.
This is great, keep the ideas coming and when I have a solid idea of what people like, I'll post some pictures.
Hey Roger,
Can you detail your mtm experience? How accurate were the measurements when they brought the finished product in store to try on?
If I can't unload my gift card, I might just go all out and get a suit made in their 'H' fabrics.
