    Thanks Makoto, I read through his site, it shows that he recommends 2-3 visits before a suit is finished. How does this work when he visits cities? Does anyone know or is it just a bit of blind luck involved that it works out from one fitting??? Thanks jay

In the meantime I might try and save some money by buying a half devent suit that is larger than I need and...

    hi unbelragazzo, Thanks for that and I do understand. I do not know if its me, the cheap suits I have tried but when ever I get a large suit that feels more comfortable it doesn't really seem to sit right on my upper body.

    Thanks add911_11 they are a good distance from me being in Perth but I will add them to the list. Thank you.

    Bespoke suits, (I have used the search function already).

    Ok before you all point at the search function I have used it to death same with the "Google" search. My problem is using the styleforum search has made it even more difficult. I read 3 posts into a supplier and then a few people say they are crap or horrible. Is there any out there that...
