    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    Thank you both for the replies. After considering your input, I have decided to opt for bespoke shirting at a Savile Row tailor as for one my style sense is that if I'm shopping there it might as well be bespoke and two I do not like buying items manufactured elsewhere than on site (or within...

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    Hi, I'm curious what your opinions are in regard to which Savile Row tailor has a house style most suited to academia for men in their 30s? I plan on setting aside ~$6,000 USD and purchasing non-bespoke shirts, pants, and knitwear. Thank you for reading.

    Savile Row (Dege and Skinner) Visiting Tailors: Bespoke Process??

    I'd like to bump this thread with a positive recommendation for Dege and Skinner of Savile Row. They took the time to write a very well thought out letter to me addressing my concerns about fitting and time frames. And, if anyone is curious, no, unfortunately I will not be able to undertake an...

    Savile Row (Dege and Skinner) Visiting Tailors: Bespoke Process??

    Thanks, and you're right. I only started researching bespoke suits yesterday. I guess that I just don't want to be that guy at Neiman Marcus buying a super expensive Italian suit. You know that guy. I know that guy.

    Savile Row (Dege and Skinner) Visiting Tailors: Bespoke Process??

    It's the initial meeting. I wonder what they'll say in reply to my email? I've heard of Enzo, before. He seems like a good guy. I'm kind of curious how this will all turn out. If I do go made to measure it seems like the consensus is to spend less than 4,000. It's kind of strange that there...

    Savile Row (Dege and Skinner) Visiting Tailors: Bespoke Process??

    This is good to hear. I don't see many pictures of Dege and Skinner suits online. Here is the type of look I'm after, I guess (in navy, though): I wonder if I could do just one fitting? One fitting of a Savile Row suit vs one fitting of a suit from anywhere else in California, e.g. Neiman...

    Savile Row (Dege and Skinner) Visiting Tailors: Bespoke Process??

    If you're curious, here's the email I sent to Dege and Skinner a moment ago: "Hi, I have a brief question, or, concern, really, that I wanted to ask prior to the appointment next week; namely, it's that I'm concerned I may need more than 1 fitting for a bespoke suit. Since this is my first...

    Savile Row (Dege and Skinner) Visiting Tailors: Bespoke Process??

    So, I've got an appointment to meet with a senior bespoke tailor at Dege and Skinner's visit to San Francisco next week http://www.dege-skinner.co.uk/tailoring-visits/usa/ However, in speaking with several bespoke tailors here, it seems that having a true bespoke suit made will require...

    Brioni vs Oxxford vs Who Else? Suit for Interviews

    Thank you for the reply. I was honestly hesitant to go bespoke in/around SF and LA; however, I'm willing to make a HUGE exception if Savile Row tailors are coming to town. I emailed them just now to request a fitting appointment at their SF date in June. If they reply favorably, I'd be more...

    Brioni vs Oxxford vs Who Else? Suit for Interviews

    You must have missed the title, "Brioni vs Oxxford vs Who Else?" ... and the follow up in the body "if you guys have any feedback on $4,000 - $6,000 suits... I'm all ears." At UCLA, they didn't teach us how to hook condescending quips into gentlemanly conversation, unfortunately. That must...

    Brioni vs Oxxford vs Who Else? Suit for Interviews

    Hi, I'm new here, but have been doing some research on suits. Since I'm 32, though, and using this for medical residency interviews, I'm curious if an Oxxford Clothes suit will be too conservative, or conversely, if a Brioni will be too relaxed. I like both of these companies, though. I'm...
