Hi All,
In about 3 months (first week of July), I will be getting married in Los Angeles. I assumed that I would rent, but after checking out the rental options yesterday, I changed my mind and decided for this special occasion, I would to treat myself.
I'm looking for recommendations for MTM/bespoke in NYC/SF. I'll be flying to NYC next week, and am based out of San Francisco (which does not have many great options for formal wear). My budget is around $5k
I'm ~ 5'8 and athletic with nice broud shoulders and chest for my size, and am looking for a classic yet not too stuffy style since the wedding is in more casual LA. I don't want too much shoulder padding, but would still like some structure and roping, waist supression, and and am open to either a shawl or peak lapel.
My main concern is that it seems the OTR options at Barneys/Nieman were too expensive for what I was getting, but the bespoke/MTM options in SF are limited, and I am in a time crunch with my wedding being ~3 months away.
I'd rather pay a premium for a bespoke tux (and I can get a suit on the side) for a tailor from a reputable house at Saville Row/Italy to fly out (some did have this option if I committed enough since they had tailors travelling for Trunk shows) than buy OTR. The middle ground would be a MTM near me or close by I can fly to (including NYC next week)
So recommendations for MTM/Bespoke that meet these criteria are welcome! I attached as well as two picture of a styles I liked (the latter being from Hackett form Mr Porter)
