Hello,
My wedding celebration is coming up and I've settled on wearing a three piece suit, light gray. I have enough time, till September, to get a suit tailored with the goal of having a go-to suit for occasions where my two piece, dark gray business suit (Suitsupply Napoli 36) isn't the best option. I do not wear suits daily but attend events monthly where I'd enjoy having a lighter color and the extra style of a three piece.
I'm 26 and located in Cardiff, Wales, UK and would like to take this occasion to start a relationship with a MTM or budget bespoke tailor as I can see needing/wanting vests in other colors, shirts, etc for the impending queue of friends and family weddings. I can make trips to London.
I'd appreciate any personal experiences or recommendations. Here are the top choices I am considering.
Bespoke options:
Whitcomb & Shaftesbury's Classic Bespoke option seems like a solid option, but is at the top of my price range at £1,420 before VAT.
Graham Browne looks like a good choice and the price is just a bit less which leave more room for accessories.
Finally Cad & The Dandy kept coming up as a good choice though maybe a bit less flexible in style, which is fine for me as I don't have particularly strong opinions nor am I looking for anything exotic in the cut. Their price definitely is attractive. I've heard to ask for Jon DeBoise.
MTM/online:
I've considered using Black Lapel for an online MTM option, but seen mixed reviews. Does anyone have personal experience with them? An alternative is Suitsupply's MTM. Their OTR Napoli has been a good fit so far for occasional business/formal dinner occasions.
WW Chan looks ideal in comparison with Black Label or Supplysuit, but their traveling tailor just passed through the UK days ago so it will likely be a year before I could get measured... to late unfortunately. Are there similar tailors which are based in the UK or pass through more often?
Many thanks for any comments or feedback.
