Best Post-COVID Travelling Bespoke Option

[classicalthunde]

There's a guy on the forums who has a pieces from Genuardi and loved his stuff; forget his name but if you go in the bespoke thread you should be able to find it. He also gets pieces done from that small tailor in Philly if it helps track him down.

You can probably also see what pricing for Tapia Custom Tailors is in NYC--he took over from Nino Corvato so he should be solid as well and NYC based.

I believe that was @Encathol Epistemia although I haven't seen him post on SF in a while, so not sure if he is on a hiatus. His Genuardi pieces looked really nice...

Paolo Martorano looks great but it like it starts at $7,500 based on their website, which is out of budget sadly - similar to Logsdail.

wow, thats getting pretty close to the Huntsman NYC level of pricing if a 2-piece starts at $7500, and I'm sure a tuxedo would be a step above the entry level 2-piece

Get MTM at something like Suitsupply instead?!

There are way better options for MTM than Suitsupply... Especially with a budget of $5000.

No doubt. But turnaround time for MTM at SuSu is around 5 weeks with house fabric and if it needs to be redone add another 5 weeks and there you go, hitting the September deadline.
It's way better to show up in a well fitting tux made at SuSu than miss the deadline completely

I'd much rather go to Armoury and get MTM Orazio and pay extra for rushed order.... Which is totally feasible given that Orazio usually takes 6-8 weeks for normal orders.

Suitsupply is just not comparable. The base pattern sucks and all parts of the jacket are machine made. Susu house fabric is Guabello or Dino Filarte I am assuming? Total crap stuff.

does anyone have experience with JOSEPH GENUARDI

Genuardi made my wedding suit:

My wife and I were both very happy with the outcome.

That looks really good.

No way you get bespoke in 3 months. Italy is fully shut down in August. No bespoke tailor travels to New York twice within 3 months.

Best option is Armoury RTW tuxedos. Even their MTM won't make it in time given the holidays in Italy.

I could have done it in a pinch but it’s too late now. I make in London and New York these days.

not been active in here for a while but I moved my shop recently to 32 Union square East.

My Instagram is probably more informative than my website these days @davidreevesbespoke
