Spoo, if you can afford Tom Ford and Zegna, would purchasing a bespoke suit be much more expensive?
If not so, why don't you have a try?
Any personal reasons we do not know of?

because spoo is the honeybadger. and, well you know the rest.

Maybe Ill play with a different tie thats a little bolder the next time, but thanks for the feedback.

I was thinking about a solid, shiny silk tie that picked up one of the stripe colors. With a muted white FC shirt (Really...how can you wear a suit like THAT and not wear links?!?!?!)

Sure it takes some time, but come on, look at Spoos post counter + his wife is even cool with him hanging out at SF while they are on vacation, so time shoulnd't be the problem in my opinion.

not just some time, lots of time, and several trips if you don't live in london or naples (or new york or moscow, i suppose )

i suppose i could go to knize, but even for great bespoke i'm not spending 8k on a suit, even if i could. no wait, i probably would.

Honey badgers are pretty bad ass!
Spoo,15h/day doesn't sound healthy and you're still willing to take pictures of yourself every single morning?

5 of those 15 hours is spent setting up the camera.

My wife takes the pictures, not me. Thats my quiet, introspective, preparing for the internets time.

I really dont see a shiny tie working well with the sheen of the suit...and the stripes are all tones of blue, so I wanted a contrast, not to come off like a castoff from the blue man group.. but Ill play around.

I am liking the jeans. In the business world I am hopping that a more casual dress such as yours begins to become the norm. Thanks for the inspiration!

Maybe I am confused by the vocabulary.
To me it seems all of those who say who don't go bespoke go Ready To Wear.
Is RTW the same as Off The Rack, only with a few alternations made to the garment or is RTW what I would call Made To Measure?
Because here in Germany there are a lot of MTM offerings and there should be some of them who deliver decent work, shouldn't it?

Bespoke > MTM > RTW/OTR

Bespoke > MTM > RTW/OTR

in light of a recent comment made in the thread

well done bespoke > spoo > poorly done bespoke > MTM > RTW/OTR

I meant to say this instead.

if you truly were a honeybagder you would not give a **** that you didnt say that instead.

also. since there is something apparently slightly wrong with the balance of your suit, and since we have deduced above that you are not a honey badger. logic therefor proves you do give a **** about this balance predicament. the only solution then is to give me the suit.

you are welcome sir.
