Thanks for clearing that up PG. The current discussion just shows what a great impression Ethan left on customers, myself included.

At least the website is a little more informative under its new guise. Now we know the product is made in Holland rather than the previously described "Europe." I still say the prices are too high for what is essentially offshore MTM.

Is it MTM or Bespoke?
$1300 for S120 is hmmmm....and it's not 'fully hand made', so does that mean it's partially machined?

I actually have made some enquiries with P Johnson and was indending to make an order in the next month or so, pending whether or no we decide to go to HK for a holiday. I spoke to the Melbourne tailor, Tom, who said that the price of the average 2 piece suit is $1,350 and three piece $1,600. The starting price of three piece with an extra pair of trousers is $1,750.

Interesting. Do you think you'd get a better deal over in HK?
I wonder how much they would charge for any alterations after the fitting, or is it inclusive?

Probably not that much of a better deal $ wise, but you probably would option wise. P Johnson is more MTM then Bespoke, so you can only customise it to a certain point. Eg they can't make double breasted waist coats or pants with fishtail backs.

Around $1,500 seems like a very decent price for a MTM suit, especially if it includes full canvas lining. Especially considering most Australian designer RTW suits are there or thereabouts in terms of price.

Based on those prices I'd be willing to give p johnson a go.
Popped in to Beggar Man Thief today. Nice shop, nice shoes, nice staff. Hope they do well.

In my view $1,500 is a good price for a full canvas MTM suit in Australia.
Understand that it may be cheaper in HK but the air ticket price has to be factored also (about $1,000 for a return ticket), except if you are a regular visitor or the tailor already has your measurement.

Yep, if I do pull the trigger I am planning to spend about $2k for a three piece with two pairs of trousers and go for the hand made option. I would expect that two pairs of trousers plus a waistcoat shoud make it versitile enough to last many years.
That said, if I am going to be in HK for a holiday anyway like the Mrs is nagging me, I would probably get somthing simmilar over there.
