    Custom tuxedo for upcoming wedding

    Sorry I didn't listen to you sharing your inside knowledge on the price of fabric without knowing the specific fabric. I asked about quality, not price. British woolens doesn't buy their wool from a Chinese factory. They own the factory. Good or bad, we'll see. Like I said, this tailor has...

    Quick update... Ordered the suit today. After I did some research I discovered that Richard Lim in LA (who it seems has a very good reputation) has used British woolens for 20 years. I explained my situation and they said they use the exact fabric I ordered as a staple for higher end suits and...

    Custom tuxedo for upcoming wedding

    It is Australian wool spun in a Chinese textile factory if that changes anything. But there was also a Reda fabric that was there as well, it seems like I might be better off with going that route? I'm not going to go up to the higher range you said (40GBP for smith woollen). I think this...

    Custom tuxedo for upcoming wedding

    Ok thanks, for the record, I'm purchasing my tux. This isn't about what the groomsmen are wearing. I'm getting a tuxedo made and had a specific question about the cloth and it's quality.

    Custom tuxedo for upcoming wedding

    Hello all, I just stepped into a local tailor and got a price on a fabric I liked for a 3 piece tux. The fabric was from British woolens in Montreal and is a super 160 in black. I called British woolens and found out they stock fabric from Reda in Italy and from a textile mill in China. From...
